What can I say? It's all about the view when it comes to the CN Tower! We had been to the top many years ago but we were in Toronto for the weekend with a group that was going to have dinner at the restaurant at the top. Of course to get there we needed to take the elevator to the top where the restaurant was located.
We all met at the tower entrance at the agreed time and proceeded through security and then to the queue for the elevator. It was a very fast trip to the restaurant level where we checked in and were told it would be a short wait. We went down the stairs one level where we could get drinks and look out over the city of Toronto below us.
After the meal we had choices to move to an observation deck or where we could have drinks. Of course, we could also just get on the elevator for the trip back down which is what we did. Of course, the exit is through the gift shop!
