About CN Tower

From up there, the buildings turn into blocks along the lake. The CN Tower has observation areas with views of downtown and the water; the glass floor adds a small negotiation between your eyes and your knees.

Pick a day with good visibility before buying your ticket. Tickets cover different levels, and EdgeWalk has its own rules. For this itinerary, the viewing areas are enough, leaving the rest of the morning free to head down to the waterfront.
