Niagara Falls

There is no charge to look at the Falls themselves but there are several tours that let you get a closer look.

Journey Behind the Falls: Visitors to Niagara Falls can enjoy the thunder of the waters from a completely different perspective by visiting The Journey Behind The Falls attraction, located in the Table Rock House Plaza beside the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The observation platform at the base of the falls is easily reached by elevators and a network of tunnels.
Two other tunnels provide a close-up view of the Falls from behind. The tunnels extend only 46 metres(150 feet) behind the waterfall, so there is not a lot of walking. And you can explore it all at your leisure: the excursion is completely self-guided.

CN Tower
Defining the Toronto skyline, the CN Tower is Canada's most recognizable and celebrated icon. At a height of 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches), it is Canada’s National Tower, the World's Tallest Building, an important telecommunications hub, and the centre of tourism in Toronto.

Each year, approximately 2 million people visit the CN Tower to take in the breath-taking view and enjoy all the attractions it has to offer.

Although the CN Tower inspires a sense of pride and inspiration for Canadians and a sense of awe for tourists, its origins are firmly rooted in practicality. The construction boom in Toronto in the 1960's transformed the skyline characterized by relatively low buildings into one dotted with skyscrapers. These new buildings caused serious communication problems. With its microwave receptors at 338 m (1,109 ft.) and 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches) antenna, the CN Tower swiftly solved the communication problems with
room to spare. As a result people living in the Toronto area now enjoy some of the clearest reception in North America.

The CN Tower is situated on Front Street which is located in the heart of the Entertainment District. The CN Tower is easily accessible from Union Station as well as many major streets and highways. For a broader sense of the CN Tower's location, it is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario.

For those looking for thrills the CN Tower measures up! Located at the base guests will find our arcade, motion simulator ride and “To The Top” movie. In the arcade you can try the latest in simulated games. Our motion simulator ride LEGO Racers®:The Ride has LEGO® Racer MAX AXEL dueling across deserts, ice flows and urban jungles with archrival SEVER.

Need a rest? Why not enjoy "To The Top:The Movie" a 15 minute documentary of the building of the engineering marvel that is the CN Tower.  Still looking for more? Be sure to experience our Marketplace with 10,000 square feet of retail space. Here's the place to get one-of-a-kind CN Tower souvenirs, sports merchandise and authentic Canadian items.
