Welcome everyone to Hipfig's Video Guide
Series on Toronto. In this video we're
going to be talking about the CN Tower
and how to get there using the Toronto
TTC subway. The CN or Canadian National
Tower is a communications and
observation tower in downtown Toronto. It is
located in the Entertainment District at
301 Front Street West. The most
convenient way to the CN Tower is by the
Toronto TTC subway. Take the Yonge-
University Line to Union Station then
Exit at Union Station and follow the
signs for the Skywalk or CN Tower and
walk west or go outside Union
Station and walk west on Front Street. If
you take Front Street to the CN tower
then go across the John Street Bridge
often known as Rod Robbie towards
the Bremner entrance of the CN Tower. Another
way to get to the CN Tower is by using
the Skywalk. When you exit the subway
station, you'll walk to Union Station and
then from Union Station you will follow the
signs for the Skywalk or CN Tower. The Skywalk is
an enclosed walkway connecting Union
Station to the CN Tower and the Rogers
Centre.
As you walk through the Skywalk, you will
pass above the Simcoe Street Tunnel and
the UP Airport Express station. The
Skywalk runs somewhat parallel between
Front street and Bremner Boulevard
Continue on the Skywalk to Bremner
Boulevard and follow it to the south (to the end)
entrance of the CN Tower. The CN Tower is
opens from 9am to 10:30pm every day except
Christmas. Ticket prices will vary depending
on the ticket option you will choose.
You can purchase tickets at the ticket
counter but to avoid lines consider
purchasing online if you know the date
and time of your visit. To save money,
consider purchasing a multi-attraction
card like CityPass Toronto. The CityPass is
a really good deal if you intend to go
to more than 3 attractions in the
Toronto area. You can purchase the
CityPass at the ticket office or online
for more information and links, visit the
Hipfig website for Toronto under the
"Things To Do" tab for the CN Tower. There are
three ticket options for the CN tower:
The tower experience provides a
round-trip elevator ride to the Lookout
level at 346 meters. Here you can view
the Edgewalk at Base camp
You can also walk on the glass floor and go
outside on the outdoor Sky Terrace.
The SkyPod is option two. It's a higher
observation level in the CN tower. You'll
take another elevator from the Lookout
level to the SkyPod level which is 447
meters high
This level provide 360 degrees views
looking over Toronto and Lake Ontario
and if you're there on a clear day you
can see as far away as Niagara Falls and
New York State. The third option is the
EdgeWalk. The EdgeWalk is a full-circle
hands-free walk on a 5 foot wide
ledge, encircling the top of the towers
main pod which is 356 meters high
Visitors walk in groups of six and are
encouraged to lean back while attached
to an overhead safety rail with a
trolley and harness system. This is a
seasonal activity and usually starts
from Spring to early Fall
Note that the EdgeWalk's reservation and
tickets are made through a different
company, please check on hifig's website
for the CN Tower for the link. The CN
Tower will take you an hour more
depending on the time of day. Go early if
you can
there are tons of things to do in the
area so consider combining with Ripley's
Aquarium of Canada, and Rogers Centre
