So this next review is about my experience in the CN tower, when I visited Toronto Canada. I had visited a number of big attraction sights in Toronto, but this was one of the one?s that a enjoyed extremely. It was fun, exciting, bold and out of this world, it was a plus that I wasn?t afraid of heights, so for anyone who does suffer from vertigo, it might be a challenge to visit this place. I had been to Toronto once before, however I was only 8 and thus didn?t have the chance to visit the CNN tower only views it from outside. I promised myself that I would come back one day to visit this attraction, only took me over a decade to come back, but it was highly worth the wait.

Advantages: Great views Disadvantages: Vertigo anyone?
In honour of Canada's birthday last week I thought I would write a review about the CN Tower (Canadian National is what CN stands for) which is the defining feature of the Toronto skyline. Set next to Lake Ontario the CN Tower is an iconic Canadian image and a building for the record books. Finished in 1975 the CN Tower is the World's Tallest Free Standing Structure at just over 553 metres. According to its website (http://www.cntower.ca/) the CN Tower also holds the following records:

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of CN Tower, Toronto
Advantages: telecommunication hub of Toronto, lots to do and see, gift shop, built in revolving restaurant Disadvantages: if you are scared of heights then this may not be for you!
If you are lucky enough to visit Toronto then you must go to CN Tower. CN Tower is not just an icon but it plays a very important part as a telecommunications hub of Toronto. It stands tall at 553.33m and by no surprise hoards of tourists choose to visit the tower every year, around 2 million tourists to be precise. The tower was built in 1976 by Canadian National, thus the name CN. It was made with the intention that it would be the worlds tallest tower. CN Tower is situated at the heart of the entertainment disrict and is very easily accessible by the tube and by car, which is how we got there. We actually chose to go there late evening as there would not be so many tourists at that time and we could enjoy being there more, minus the bustling crowds and long queues.
INSIDE THE TOWER
There are 4 lookout levels but not surprisingly ...
