The CN Tower

The CN Tower is one of Toronto’s main tourist attractions. For those who don’t know, it’s a communications and observation tower standing 553.3 metres (1,815 ft) tall. At the time of writing it is the world’s 3rd tallest free-standing structure, and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

So really, having been in Toronto since June, it made sense for me to finally go and see it!

The elevator takes 58 seconds to travel up to the main observation deck (there is a higher ‘sky pod’ experience for a bit extra, but I stuck with the standard observation deck this time around). When you get up there it’s quite incredible how high up you are and how far you can see, and the pictures I took don’t really capture the experience fully. There was also a glass floor that enabled you to see right to the bottom, and although logically I know that it’s reinforced glass and wont break, I didn’t spend too long on it! So I got a slushie instead.

  1. Thinking about it Ste, even if that reinforced glass was to break, and you were unfortunately stood on it at that *exact* moment, and proceeded to fall approx 1,800ft down… you would be ok. Coz you is totally fly brah, you get me!
