CN Tower observation deck and revolving restaurant

CN Tower was built in 1976. The TV Tower has become the main attraction of Toronto. The structure has a height of 553 meters. You will have the opportunity to admire a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings, including Niagara Falls, standing on the observation deck with a transparent floor or sitting in the restaurant rotating on its axis. They are 342 meters off the ground. They can be reached via 2,570 steps or by a high-speed elevator, the walls of which are made of glass.

Take advantage of the EdgeWalk ride

You might be intrigued by the EdgeWalk, an extreme weather ride that runs from April 15 to October 15. It is a walk along a 1.5-meter parapet located on the 116th floor of the CN Tower with no barrier or other limiter. Before the fun begins, you must be instructed and wear a special suit with a rope, one end of which is connected to the suit’s safety harness and the other end attached to the metal railing.

Then you can walk around the tower for half an hour, looking at the sights of the city from 365 meters high. You can keep your hands free and even lean back for an even more thrilling experience. When the breathtaking journey is over, you can collect your certificate of courage and a CD with videos and photos of the adventure.

Baldwin Stairs and Grenadier Pond

If you like to see old buildings and go sailing, there are 2 attractions you can visit while in Toronto: the Baldwin Stairs, built in 1910, and Grenadier Pond. The beginning of the staircase is between Davenport Road and Spadina Road, and it ends on a hill with steep slopes. You can walk the 110 steps to enjoy a beautiful view of the city, as well as reaching Casa Loma Castle and the Spedina Mansion. Grenadier Pond is a short distance from Lake Ontario in a picturesque park. When you come here, you’ll have the opportunity to take a sailboat ride.

Canada’s Wonderland Entertainment Complex

Canada’s Wonderland is a Paramount-owned theme park open to the public from May to September. You’ll have the opportunity to come here to visit the movie theater, spend time in the water park, take part in a go-kart race, watch a laser show and get your adrenaline pumping on the various rides.

For example, you can ride a roller coaster, where the cars repeatedly end up at 230 feet, flying down at 77 miles per hour and traversing a double helix. You can also take a ride at 60 kilometers per hour while sitting behind the wheel of a Mini Cooper. On this ride, you’ll have to dodge collisions, hide in dark tunnels, and dodge bullets fired from a helicopter.

Activities organized by Toronto Adventures Club

You can book a canoe or kayak trip on the Humber with the Toronto Adventures club. An experienced coach will teach you a half-hour paddling lesson before your trip. Then you can paddle the river waves, currents and rapids to test your skills and enjoy the scenery.

Jumping on a big trampoline and rock climbing

There are several places in the city where regardless of age and physical fitness you can have fun and active time. For example, if you come to Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park, you can jump on a surface consisting of large trampolines, which are located not only on the floor, but all around at a certain angle. You will also have the opportunity to visit the True North Climbing Club, where there are artificial cliffs for climbing lessons. An experienced instructor will teach you the basics of climbing and help you choose a “rock” with the right level of difficulty.
