The Entertainment District

"The Entertainment District is the core of Toronto and a hub of activities and experiences. This is where you’ll find the famous CN Tower. This freestanding building is a communications and observation tower that held the record for the tallest building in the world from 1975 to 2009. The tower has several viewing decks, including a glass floor that allows for straight-down exhilarating views. Visitors can also dine in the high-altitude restaurant, or do the thrilling “Edge Walk,” wherein participants in suits and harnesses circle the exposed top of the 1,167-foot-high building. For some evening comedy check out Yuk Yuk’s comedy club, and the famous Toronto International Film Festival offers daily screenings and media exhibits throughout the year in its permanent theatre. While in the area, swing by Union Station Toronto to admire the architecture and beautiful interiors. In 1975, Union Station was designated a National Historic Site of Canada for its fine example of classical Beaux-Arts style. For the beer drinkers, Steamwhistle Brewery offers tours of its premises and samples of craft beer." - MATADOR_NETWORK
