TORONTO, ON — Toronto is home to the Canadian version of the Space Needle. Not that they would ever call it that. At 1,815 feet the CN Tower is exactly three times taller than our our beloved landmark.
It has two observation decks. The SkyPod, at 1,465 feet, is nearly a thousand feet higher than the Needle's viewing platform.
There's a rotating restaurant and a glass floor, which they say is strong enough to hold three and a half orca whales.
Thursday marks the 8th anniversary of the Edgewalk. Tethered thrill-seekers can walk around the roof of the main pod, 116 stories above the city.
The main attraction of course is the view. Once the world's tallest tower, it has since been dwarfed by the 2,722 foot Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Evening was in Toronto to interview Cate Blanchett and the cast of Where’d You Go Bernadette. The movie --set in Seattle--comes out August 16.
