CN Tower

Description
As the world’s tallest free-standing structure on land, the CN Tower is the defining feature of Toronto’s lakefront skyline. Completed in 1976, the 553m (1815ft) tower offers stunning views of Toronto and Lake Ontario. It takes only 58 seconds to reach the LookOut level in a glass-fronted lift which travels at 22km (15 miles) per hour. Once there, visitors can enjoy a meal at the revolving 360 Restaurant, walk across a glass floor on the 113th storey or get an even better view from the Sky Pod that is 447 metres (1465ft) high. There is also a collection of entertainment attractions at the base of the tower, including two motion simulator rides, and a short documentary film describing the feat of engineering undertaken to build this colossal structure.
