This afternoon, the much-anticipated rare solar eclipse will take place in the skies above Toronto, resulting in a near-total blackout of the sun between 2:04 p.m. and 4:31 p.m. Expected to peak at 3:19 p.m. over the city, grab your solar eclipse glasses and get ready to enjoy the show!
Although Toronto does not fall in the path of totality, there are still many great destinations within the city to watch the event unfold.
Here are some of the best places to watch today’s solar eclipse in Toronto:
1. The CN Tower
Watch the solar eclipse high above the city skyline at the CN Tower, where you’ll get a partial view of the total eclipse from one of the best vantage points in the city. You’ll have to book tickets in advance of the experience, and it includes free eclipse glasses to safely watch.
