The CN Tower is a 553.3 m-high concrete communications and observation tower located in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976. Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway's decision to divest non-core freight railway assets prior to the company's privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development.
The CN Tower held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower. It is now the ninth tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure on land in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers.

I love it, it was my first time experience and totally worth it. Don’t go just for general admission alone(346 m), add skypod (447 m) to have a thrilling experience which is $15 more but trust me it’s worth your money. You can also do edge walk at main observation level and view it live on screen . Washrooms were super clean. Masks were mandatory to wear all the time that we can totally understand. Moreover food (fish and chips) was fantastic. Only things that I missed , first, the outdoor Terrace was closed due to renovations and second , dine in ,it was completely filled in 360 restaurant as you need to do reservation before visiting which I didn’t know. Overall it was fantastic experience, I love it .
