At 1,815 feet, the CN Tower (Canada’s National Tower) stands
as the world’s tallest building. It was built in 1976 by a
private company and, this year, is celebrating its 30th anniversary—so
expect special souvenirs and activities to be touted throughout
the year. In 1995, the CN Tower became a public company and has
become a popular tourist attraction for roughly 2 million people
each year.
What’s so great about a tower? This particular one features
an amazing 360-degree view of Toronto and the surrounding area,
with four lookout levels that vary in height. The first level, at
1,122 feet, features a thick glass floor (which is dizzying as you
walk over it and see the streets of Toronto far below) and an outdoor
observation deck. The second level takes you 1,136 feet off the
ground and offers an indoor observation deck for when its windier
and a cute café for those who want a light snack at the top
of the world. If you’ve got a little room in your budget,
check out 360, a fine dining restaurant located 1,150 feet off the
ground. In addition to featuring nearly 500 choice labels from its
wine cellar, the restaurant offers a 360-degree view of the city
and rotates once every 72 minutes—so take your time with your
meal. Finally, the Sky Pod, which is the world’s highest public
observation deck, can be found 1,465 feet off the ground.
