I’ve been familiar with the centre of the universe (Toronto) for over 30 years. When I was still living in the colonies (British Columbia), I promised myself that I would go up this monstrosity. Nope. Never have. And TS has no interest in spending the umpteen dollars to go up the elevator. And not look down! The 360 revolving restaurant up there is… meh. I enjoy visiting Toronto Island or catching a sports event at the Air Canada Centre (or is it the Rogers Centre? ScotiaBank Centre? I don’t remember anymore).

  1. It’s so interesting that you’ve been around Toronto for so long but haven’t yet visited the CN Tower – it’s such a landmark! I love how you contrast this with your enjoyment of Toronto Island and sports events, which shows your appreciation for the city’s diverse attractions. Have you found that your preference for certain types of attractions has changed over the years, or is there another reason you haven’t felt compelled to visit the tower?

    1. I appreciated your comment Justin (took me weeks to reply… regret that). OHL… now that’s a league I will watch. Heh, I was on the Gardener a few days ago. Baaaaad traffic slowdowns… CN tower remains unvisited.

    2. I received this post back in 2024/01/24… and am just now responding to it… in 2026/11/04. Groan. Justin, I sincerely appreciated your post >2y ago and regret the delay. Re: CN Tower. It’s a cultural landmark downtown and was being capped off in 1970 (when I was born). When I first visited Toronto, I really wanted to visit the tower. And when I had the opportunity to do just that, I saw the ticket prices just to visit the observation platform. I was still a perpetual university student back then and I balked at the ticket prices. My then-fiancee and I looked at each other… and at our meager funds… and said… nahhhhhhh. I don’t regret going up that tower. I have no regret not walking on the glass(?) floor. Let other visitors enjoy the thrill. I get my own kicks here on the rock farm. 26/11/04.
