Edgewalk CN Tower Review
Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.
The Edgewalk attraction at the CN Tower in
Toronto, Canada is not for the squeamish.
Imagine yourself, not only standing on a 1.5 meters
wide see through steel grate walkway 1,168ft above
the ground with no guard railing, but also standing
on the edge with all your body weight relying on a
safety harness. – FREAKY!
Participants are attached to an overhead safety
harness. During the walk, specially trained guides
will encourage visitors to push their personal limits,
even allowing them to lean out 116 storeys above the city.
The CN Tower holds a Guinness World Record for it’s
EdgeWalk attraction – the highest external walk on a
building.

The CN Tower is the tallest free-standing structure
in the Western Hemisphere, located in the city of
Toronto, Canada. The CN Tower is 1,815.4 ft tall and
was completed in 1976.
In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern
Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of
Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation
of Great Towers, where it holds second-place ranking.
This is one tall building and to be able to walk on
the outside of the main pod, hands-free is unbelievable.
When you look down from this level, cars look the size
of children’s toy car (Hotwheels). Below The CN Tower
is the Rogers Center where the Major League Baseball
Team, Toronto Blue Jays play. When the dome of this
stadium is open you are able to see inside. The Rogers
Center itself looks somewhat small from this altitude.
2011 was the first year for the The Edgewalk attraction
allowing thrill-seekers to stroll outside on the
world famous tower. Season 2 begins May of 2012 and
goes until October. Bookings begin in February.
Check out this video of wobbly kneed participants
getting a rare experience of seeing a jet speed right
by them while they are at Edgewalk.
So if you are in need of some serious thrill-seeking
and you think you have the chops to do this, why not
give the Edgewalk CN Tower a shot.
