Some people say it’s one of the world’s best wonders in the modern world. The CN Tower is about 1815 ft long (553 m). There are so many options for fun things to do, including dining and sightseeing. Yet, the most popular activity of all at the CN Tower is EdgeWalk. This is not for the faint-hearted, but it’s for the adventurers out there who love a little bit of edge living (pun intended). EdgeWalk is an activity where groups of 6 stand 116 feet up above the ground, where people test their ability to lean back as far as they can at this tremendous height while being held safely by a harness and a trolley. It’s a Canadian trademark, so you simply can’t go to Toronto without visiting CN Tower.
