I had such a fabulous time at the CN Tower. We had arrived a little late and were worried about the time we would have to look around, but they let people stay past their closing time and we were very grateful! I would highly reccomend paying the extra $12 and getting access to the Skypod. The view was gorgeous anywhere in the tower, but the Skypod stole the show for us. I'm not sure if it was the time we went, but it was very easy for us to set up the camera to take photos. Also, the line to get into the general tower took no time at all to get through. The skypod line did take about 30 minutes, but the staff was good about giving us a realistic wait time and it was worth it regardless.
