CityPASS Toronto: Seeing the City at Night at The CN Tower Plus The Tower Experience. #travel

The CN Tower.

Toronto is one of our favorite cities, no matter how many times we visit, we always find something new to enjoy. But, there’s always things that you have to do every single time you visit. One of those things is visiting the CN Tower. Toronto’s iconic landmark that is 1,136 ft./346m high at the look out level.

When we travel, we always want to get a bang for our buck. That means that we always check to see if CityPASS is available at the location where we will be visiting. Luckily, Toronto was one of those cities and we were stoked to take on Toronto.

CityPASS has a lot of destinations and they offer quite a few attractions with each booklet and the Toronto pass didn’t disappoint.

Making the Journey UP.

It was a chilly and super windy night in Toronto and making the trip up in the elevator was both exciting yet nerve-racking. Since it was so windy, the tower was swaying more than usual and the elevators would rub against the tower. The only great thing about it is that we took a longer ride up since they slowed down the elevators.

Yeah, it was pretty wicked.

Once we were up, we were welcomed by a city alive with lights. If you visit the CN Tower, you really must do it at night. The last time we were in the city we visited during the day. It is as equally spectacular but, there’s something about seeing it at night.

Glass Floor, Anyone?

Yes, please!

Are you brave enough to step onto the glass floor and look down? We definitely were and let me tell you, it is an exhilarating experience.  Those little lights at our feet are actually cars and it’s a long way down from here.

This was the girls’ favorite part of visiting the CN Tower. Of course, it isn’t the most thrilling since there is the SkyPod observation level: 33 stories above the main observation levels. Cost for CityPASS holders: $12 CAD. Available at the base and LookOut levels.

More About the CN Tower:

A Wonder of the Modern World, the CN Tower is Canada’s most celebrated architectural triumph with Toronto’s most spectacular views – day or night.
