CN Tower tickets: the four tours that take you up

Each of the four listings names CN Tower entry in its title or description, and each wraps it in a guided tour. That is the honest shape of CN Tower tickets on this site: you pay for a guide, a route and the ascent together, in one booking.

The Toronto: Small Group Tour with CN Tower Entry is a guided walking tour with a local: St. Lawrence Market, the Hockey Hall of Fame and Union Station, then up the tower, 90 minutes in all. The Toronto: Premium Night Driving Tour with CN Tower Entry runs three hours: a guided drive through the city, skyline views from the tower, and a stroll through the Distillery District as it is lit up after dark.

The two longer listings add the water. The Toronto: Downtown Tour With CN Tower and Harbour Cruise is a guided small-group tour of 3 to 4 hours: panoramic views from the observation deck, St. Lawrence Market and the Toronto Waterfront. The Toronto: Premium Driving Tour with Tower and Harbour Cruise lasts five hours and starts with hotel pickup: the tower, Nathan Phillips Square, St. Lawrence Market and a boat ride on the harbour.

The four listings run from $70 to $133. The night drive is $98 for three hours, $28 more than the walk. The downtown tour with a harbour cruise is $105 for 3 to 4 hours, and the five-hour drive with hotel pickup and a boat ride is $133.

Per hour, the order turns round. The walk works out at $46.67 an hour, the night drive at $32.67 and the five-hour drive at $26.60, the lowest of the three. The downtown tour gives a range of 3 to 4 hours, so the table below shows no hourly figure for it.

The cheapest tickets for CN Tower entry on this site therefore come with the 90-minute walk. No listing here sells the tower on its own, so this page has no gate price to set against these figures.

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada describes itself as neighbour to the CN Tower in the heart of Toronto, with 20,000 aquatic animals. Its listing is $33, rated 4.6 across 2,328 reviews, open daily, with a choice of a day ticket or “Sharks after Dark”. It shows Free cancellation.

There is no CN Tower and aquarium tickets combo among the 37 listings here, so the pair is two bookings. With the 90-minute walk, the two come to $103; with the night drive, $131.

Planning CN Tower aquarium tickets for the same day? The aquarium listing gives no visit length and no fixed start, so book the tour first and fit the aquarium around it.

Three figures decide it. The four tours are rated 4.6 to 4.7 across 1,230 reviews between them, against a weighted 4.63 for all 35,992 reviews on this site. The cheapest, $70, sits in the $50–$100 band with eleven other listings. And each one adds something a bare ticket would not: a guide, a route, a boat or a night drive.

If you only want tickets for the CN Tower and no guide, this site cannot sell you that, and it is better to know before you click. If a guided hour or three around the ascent suits you, the walk is the cheapest way to do it and the night drive the most reviewed. Adding the aquarium, Ripley’s Aquarium and CN Tower tickets come to $103 at the lowest pairing.

Booking CN Tower tickets online through this page means choosing one of the four tours on the cards above, then a date on its listing, where the live price for that date shows before you pay. The prices here were read off the listings in October 2026.

CN Tower Toronto tickets bought this way are a tour seat for a date, with the ascent part of the route. This site compares tour listings, not ticket desks, so there are no gate prices or opening hours on this page. For the rest of the city, the 37 tours compared on the home page sit in six price bands.
