CN Tower | Destination Toronto (2024)

Brave the CN Tower Edgewalk

In 2011, the CN Tower opened EdgeWalk—the first attraction of its kind in North America. If you've ever wondered what it's like to feel the open air 356 m (1,168 ft) above Toronto, the CN Tower EdgeWalk is for you. The world's highest full-circle hands-free walk takes place on a 1.5 m (5 ft) ledge encircling the top of the CN Tower's main pod. Visitors walk around the pod while attached to an overhead rail by a secure harness.
