Ditto what everyone else has said. A MUST see and do when in Toronto. Yes lots of Moolah. Great view of everything below. If you are scared of heights this is definitely not the place you want to find out. Your heart will be pounding a million miles a minute as your elevator is sucked up to the top, and then your ears will pop as you are more slowly (!) released to land level again. If you want to get a view even before you disembark the elevator, you can either stand looking out of the windows facing out or look down at your feet where there are "windows" on the floor! The best time to go is either in the early morning or around sunset to catch the beautiful colors of the sky.
We went on a holiday weekend but although there were millions of people all around we were amazed at how quickly we were accommodated through security and the payment lines.
Although we could have paid more to eat at the restaurant and also go up another level we found that the basic price of $35 was more than worth it and saved our $$$ to eat a another local restaurant at ground level.
