For just the glass floor and observatory:
$21.99
For Observation, Glass Floor and Sky Pod the cost is: $26.49

Look Out Level: In 58 seconds you will find yourself at a height of 346m (1,136’). The Look Out level offers breathtaking views and Horizons Café. One level down you will find not only the Glass Floor but the Outdoor Observation level. Feel the breeze at 342m (1,122’) above the ground.

The Glass Floor: With a view 1,122' straight down, even those not afraid of heights might need a little help. Think you can handle it? Wait till you get here and see if you feel the same way.
The floor is 256 square feet of solid glass that is five times stronger than the required weight bearing standard for commercial floors. It can actually withstand the weight of 14 large hippos.

The Sky Pod is: World's Highest man-made observatory.
To get here, take the elevators to the main observation levels, then transfer to the special Sky Pod elevator and soar to another amazing 33 storeys.
Now you're at the 447 metre (1465 ft.) level, and from here you get a full 360 degree unobstructed view of Toronto, Lake Ontario, and surrounding region. Visibility is over 160 kilometres (one hundred miles), and on a clear day it's not unusual to see Niagara Falls or Rochester, New York.
