 <\/p>\n

On the first day of Toronto week, we thought it was best to make our first stop at the CN Tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

History:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"The\u00a0CN Tower<\/b>\u00a0is a 553.33 m-high (1,815.4\u00a0ft)\u00a0Canadian\u00a0concrete\u00a0communications and observation\u00a0tower\u00a0in\u00a0DowntownToronto,\u00a0Ontario,\u00a0Canada.\u00a0It was completed in 1976, becoming the\u00a0world’s tallest free-standing structure\u00a0and\u00a0world’s tallest tower\u00a0at the time. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of\u00a0Burj Khalifa\u00a0and\u00a0Canton Tower\u00a0in 2010. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the\u00a0Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto’s skyline, and a symbol of Canada,\u00a0attracting more than two million international visitors annually.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When first entering the CN Tower, you are greeted with a ticket counter. Ticket Prices<\/a> can range from $27 to $99 depending on whether you are going solo or with a group of friends. Its best to get a family pack if you have more than 4 people tagging along.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"After you pass the ticket line, the only thought in our minds were THE ELEVATOR Ride. In order to get up half Kilometer in the sky, one must take a very long elevator ride.<\/p>\n

Prior to getting to the infamous open glass elevators, you will spiral through attractions \u00a0educating you on the history of the tower and the hard work\/planning it took to accomplish, including our famous Canadian Moose disguised as a Canadian.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course we had no choice but to go up the elevator. Instead of writing about a visual experience, we decided to use a friendly real video of the ride up.<\/p>\n
