    I visited Toronto some years back and had an awesome time. It was an awesome but extremely cold night and I ventured here for a quick photo op. I think visiting at night is better picture wise-- despite the cold weather there were quite a lot of folks here taking in the sights, taking pictures and doing a little skating. I would definitely recommend making this a stop on your visit!

    Wonderful place to visit. The fountain and all the fellow tourists looking for a gap between other tourists to snap a selfie or family shot avoiding the photo bombs.. lol

    It was the Canadian Thanksgiving and we could only assume everyone was home renting dinner. Good thing there was not a very large crowd out in the afternoon. This was one of 3 places we stopped that afternoon. It was a great place to visit to get pictures with the family!

    No trip to Toronto would be complete without a visit to this sign. It serves at the backdrop to Nathan Phillips Square's Ice Skating Rink. There is metered street parking available within a reasonable walking distance and an easily accessible parking garage right under the square. I parked in the garage. It was very easy. You will see "TORONTO" flanked by a maple leaf on the left and a medicine wheel symbol (Representing North American Indigenous cultural values, tradition and spirituality. Its four directions [East, South, West and North] symbolize completeness, wholeness, connectedness and strength) on the right. The sign is 9.8 feet tall and over 72 feet long It is lit by LED lights that are rumored to have the ability to create an estimated 228 million color combinations. It only used one while I was there, blue. It was installed for the 2015 Pan American Games as a temporary fixture, but luckily has survived and I was able to experience it for myself. I wish I could have seen it more colorful though. I really liked this sign and made it a point to see it. Nothing is more Canadian than having ice skating in the foreground of the sign. It was a beautiful sight to see. The sign can be viewed in the day, but I am sure that the best view of it is at night. That is when I visited. I highly recommend checking this sight out for yourself while in Toronto. It just draws you in and makes for a great post card photo.

    Arrived late so we could see the colors changing and less of a crowd and it worked out perfectly. Found parking immediately out on the street. Downside was that they had a marathon so a lot of the surrounding sign was blocked off.

    I went here two times during my recent Canada trip. The first time was on a Thursday around 10:19am and the second time I went here was on a Saturday around 12:11am after my Niagara Falls Zoom tour that I went on, on Friday. This place is located at the same area as Nathan Phillips Square. Anyways, when I went here around 10:19am, there was some people, but it wasn't too empty. It was nice taking pictures there during the daytime since there's more people to help you take pictures if you need it. I also noticed they have an area to buy snacks and other small food items there too during the day, so that's cool. When I went here around 12:11am, it was even more empty, but there was still some people. It did feel kinda creepy being out there at that time though since people were doing drugs over there at night. It was still pretty over there at night because the sign was lit up and you can see it change colors. I'd recommend this place! Both the day and nighttime views of the Toronto sign is pretty, but I guess it depends on what you're into. Also, it's more dangerous in that area at night, so I think I would recommend the daytime view better if you want pictures of yourself with the sign too.

    Toronto Sign is a must visit place if you are in Toronto. It's three-dimensional sign in Nathan Phillips Square which illuminates in the night. We visited in the evening. It wasn't crowded but a good number of tourists around the premises. A lot of opportunities to click some nice pictures. We had a great time making memories there. Shame that we couldn't stay back until it's illuminated - trouble with the long summer days. But thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
