At 553.3 metres, the CN Tower is
the world's tallest free standing building. Located in
downtown Toronto and open daily to serve the 1,600,000
people who visit it annually. Most come for the view from
the SkyPod, two-thirds of the way up the tower, accessible
via exterior high speed elevators that travel upwards at the
rate of 360 metres per minute. From the SkyPod, you can
enjoy the view from either enclosed or outdoor observation
decks. One of the most dramatic ways of seeing the world
from the tower, if you're bold enough, is from the exterior,
glass-floored observation deck, located 342 metres above
ground. Naturally enough, the glass floor is strongly
over-built. The glass floor will hold the weight of 14
hippopotamuses.
