301 Front Street West
Ontario - Toronto, Canada, M5V 2T6 Phone: (416) 868-6937 Website The CN Tower (French: Tour CN) is a 553.33 m-high (1,815.4 ft) concrete communications and observation tower in downtown Toronto. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and the world's tallest tower at the time. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower in 2010. It is now the 3rd tallest tower in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.
Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Machines 5&8 were by the gift store exit.
Machine 6 was by the photo pickup area.
Machine 7 was in the table area and was somewhat hidden because the had section closed off.
