THE CN TOWER Don't get me wrong, The CN Tower is nice and worth visiting. The only reason I consider it a tourist trap is because I thought it was quite expensive($19.99 just to ride the elevator!)It is the largest freestanding structure in the world. There are 4 different observation decks and the Glass Floor level is really cool. Yes, it is really made of glass,but very thick glass. There is a sign there that says this glass is so thick it can hold something like 40 elephants! You can actually look down and see everything underneath you! It is very interesting watching the reaction of some of the visiters to the glass floor! Some people I saw were terrified to step on the glass! The highest observation deck is the SkyPad( but you have to pay additional money on top of the $16 to visit it) There is also the 360 Revolving Restaurant. It is supposed to be very good, but it is very expensive. We just had some drinks at the bar there.
There are also various activities you can do there at even more additional costs such as simulated bungee jumping. So you can see how you can vist here and end up spending quite a bit of money. If you stick to the basics, go up the tower ,see some incredible views and avoid all the extras, it is a nice thing to see.
