I went again a few more times since my last review and this time I took a tour with a tour guide…read moreand was able to learn more information about Little Canada, which I wouldn't have learned if I was going myself. THe Tour is about 90 minutes long and was very informative and well organised. I had Rory as my guide. Highly recommend to do a tour with a guide and then wander back to the places you feel like revisiting again. I would say to appreciate Little Canada, please put aside at least 3 hours minimum to enjoy the whole area as there is a lot of stuffs to see. I also noticed they update and some changes to the decors for each area, leading me to find something new each time I visit. I ended up bumping with the creator or this place, Mr. Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer. It was the first time I ever bumped into him after visiting so many times. The staff was quite surprised to see him on site on a Saturday. I told him it really an honour to meet him in person and I told him how happy I was to visit Little Canada. I noticed that Sundays are not as a busy during Winter. Saturday was much more busier, with lots more people and even school visits. I noticed on my last visit, there was no more spring water station. I don't know if it is permanent or not. Their coat check was also not working. Instead, they had racks sitting outside at the entrance though the coat check is free of charge. I highly recommend to get an individual pass or a family pass, especially if you are a fan of miniatures. I feel I always discover something new on each visit. Good for a year with unlimited visits and also 10% discount in the gift shop. It also gives a 25% discount each time for your visitors. If not buying a pass, pre-purchase your ticket online also saves up to $4 on admission. It costs much more to purchase admission on site.

I love interesting art galleries. Visited Art Gallery of Ontario to squander a few hours while…read morevisiting Toronto. Nice day (it was raining) to spend inside and look at pretty sculptures. I absolutely loved the price point of the gallery and I loved that my ticket would last from opening until closing and that I would be able to leave and come back on that one ticket. Other galleries need to take heed to this. Really a self-guided tour through all exhibits with little interruptions from staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the Kusama exhibit, just wish I was able to stay inside longer than one minute (especially on a day like when I visited and the gallery was not exactly crowded). Enjoyed the exhibits outside as well and will definitely be back to see any new installations that may come.

I love how they combine art + technology to teach about climate change in a way that's easy for kids to understand. The VR feature and interactive elements were fun, and it's definitely a great place for families or anyone looking for something different to do in Toronto. That said, for the price (~$39), it may feel a bit short for some people, and it's more of a "go once" type of experience. Still, I appreciate the message behind it and think it's worth checking out at least once--especially with kids!

If you're considering this venue for an event, don't…read more At a recent private event, crowd control was severely mismanaged. On site, security and event organizers confirmed Illuminarium made the call to just let people get their own items at coat check, which I've never seen before. This resulted in hundreds of guests shoving into the area and tossing their tags. Items were thrown around and confrontations broke out when people realized their coats were being taken. It was chaotic, unsafe and some, including myself, who stayed until early morning to look for their items, lost their coats and left in freezing weather conditions. Since the event, Illuminarium has focused on blaming other attendees for potential theft. They concluded they could not identify on security footage in the chaos, as expected. The issue was not about theft or coat check risk, that can happen at any event. This was clearly a logistical failure and mistakes can always happen. However, after several emails, Illuminarium has closed the issue without taking any responsibility, offering any apology or resolution of any kind. Based on their responses, I'm no longer expecting a resolution, but I hope sharing this helps others avoid a similar experience.

They told us that each room has a descriptive sign which offers insights about the illusions. Also, I loved how interactive everything was because it made for a super engaging experience for my partner and I. So whether you are a kid or just a kid-at-heart (like myself), this museum is an absolute must-see. All I can write is.... be prepared to have your brain twisted and your senses fooled! Lol. Will I return? Absolutely! I need to revisit some of those mind bending displays.

Admission is free on Sunday. The museum is 4 floors of well curated exhibits. Current exhibits, April 2026, include 'All about shoes' which chronicles the history of shoes, 'Rough and Ready: the history of cowboy boots' and 'André Perugla: a design legend unveiled'. While I was there, they were preparing for a new exhibit so the 'Sneakers and Artists' exhibit was closed. I was told they have new exhibits every 18 months. There is a small gift shop in the lobby. I spent approximately an hour and a half in the museum. Staff was informative and clearly passionate about the museum. I recommend a visit to The Bata Shoe Museum

Here is a bit more history about this beautiful house: The defeat of the rebels forced Mackenzie to flee to the United States. Pardoned in 1849, he returned to Toronto and resumed his political career. When Mackenzie retired from the provincial Legislature in 1858, his friends and supporters bought this house for him. Mackenzie lived here until his death in 1861, and in 1967 a new addition was built to re-create a 19th-century printing shop.
