Heh... The CN Tower is one of many towers with a similar shape built way back, and it's three times the height of the Space Needle.

Well, not just tourist attractions since they are full of radio transmitters, etc.

Plus, it's a great workout climbing the 1776 stairs of the CN Tower twice a year.

I think they call the CN tower the tallest "free-standing structure" because they can't call it the "tallest building".
From here:

In 1996, the CN Tower�s classification was officially changed to the World�s Tallest Building and Free-Standing Structure.
