A visit to Toronto won't be complete without a visit to one of its landmarks-the CN Tower. What can one expect from such a landmark that is likened to the Empire State Building
Well, for one thing, you need to have lots of activities for the whole family. There are revolving events, three restaurants, meeting space, arcade, movies, sky pod - highest man made observatory , glass floor where you can see the ground (see our friend Sue's legs?) - takes courage to walk through this (you have to do it especially if you have a fear of heights - takes it away real quick - at least that's what happened to us and now we just walk on it like it was concrete), and shopping!
The downside? Food court - not so good. 360 restaurant? Scrumptious! Price difference? Much! Unfortunately. So, does food quality and service tantamount to price? I hope not. Not in our idea of a world class establishment like the CN Tower. If only they could change this food court a bit, then it would be much more high quality. One idea is to outsource this to a name brand. Since Tim Hortons seems to be popping everywhere, try that. Or a Starbucks. This would then create a more global feel since people worldwide, when they travel to new environs and have no clue where to go, they go to familiar franchises - McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Wendy's, Starbucks.. Maybe hire the 15Group to assist.
Upside? Lots! Just taking photos at the large scale animal replicas at the gift shoppe is a treat. One way to get rid of that nasty ear clog after you land at Pearson? Take the high speed elevators to the observatory. That will clear up the clogs quickly. And if the reverse happens? Just hold your nose and blow with your mouth closed.
We'd love to come back here in the winter and watch the snow tapping the windows as you cruise the city view courtesy of the 360 revolving restaurant. Nice.
