Toronto Tourism Tendencies: The CN Tower
The CN Tower, quite lamentably, is no longer the tallest freestanding structure in the world. That honour now rests with a building still under construction within the United Arab Emirates. The CN Tower had a fantastic run with that honour however, since it held the record for over 30 years. Considering that this was created in the 70s, when technology was nowhere near what it is now, the CN Tower remains one of the most fantastic engineering and architectural feats of the human race.
Well, that might be me talking through my blue coloured sunglasses, who knows! But what is not up to question is the fact that the CN Tower still remains the top tourism destination for people traveling to Toronto and arguably the top destination for people traveling to Canada as a whole. It is still a big symbol of Canada and it is still a place that has a lot of great amenities. There is actually a glass floor installed within the CN Tower that allows you to stand on it and stare directly down towards the Earth’s surface; I stood up there once and the feeling was quite a heady one to be sure.
In addition to that, the CN Tower gives you a fantastic and unparalleled view of the city and it also happens to have a number of fun games and activities that can keep children occupied if they happen to learn about a fear of heights through looking at the horizon or standing on the glass floor. The CN Tower has the two things you need for a big tourist attraction; it has name power recognizability and it also has a lot of things for people to do. It’s not a mistake that the CN Tower is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world and if you visit Toronto, it should definitely be on your list of places to visit.
