CN Tower in Canada

CN Tower in Canada

CN Tower, originally named for Canadian National Tower, the railway company that built it, is a communications tower used for broadcasting various media, and an observation tower. At the time it was built, the tower was the world’s tallest, but it was surpassed by Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower.

The CN Tower has been called one of the seven modern wonders of the world for its extreme height. A glass elevator takes visitors to the observation deck, where a glass floor allows brave visitors to look 1,122 feet straight down below them. The 360 Restaurant slowly revolves, allowing diners to catch the 360 degree skyline view.

Thrill seekers at the CN Tower can check out EdgeWalk, an attraction in which individuals are harnessed and connected to a trolley, allowing them to lean out over the edge of the tower’s main pod.
