An iconic Toronto landmark is ready to open for the first time in months.

The CN Tower will welcome visitors back on Friday with Ontario now in Step 3 of the Ford government’s economic reopening plan.

The tourist attraction had been shut down for months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guests will be able to visit the attraction daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Timed tickets for the observation levels are now available online. The edgewalk is also back on Friday and bookings can be made on the website.

The tower’s 360 restaurant will reopen on July 29.
