Doors Open Toronto is returning from May 23 – 24 for its 10th year and it is bigger and better than ever with 175 buildings participating. Each of these buildings has architectural, historic, cultural and/or social significance. Admission is FREE in all participating buildings. Here is a list of the buildings that will be open to the public and the days and hours of availability. Be sure to check carefully as not all buildings are open on both days and the hours of availability may vary. The buildings are spread out all over the GTA so try to plan strategically in order to see as many as possible. The TTC is a much better option than trying to drive from building to building and locating parking each time.

New additions to Doors Open Toronto include the Albany Club, the Artscape Wynchwood Barns, Centre for Iranian Studies, the Deaf Culture Centre, Don Jail, the Wind Turbine Generator at Exhibition Place, the Factory Theatre, Fire Halls 423 & 425, Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship York, Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International, Scarborough Masonic Temple, Shamrock Bowl, Textile Museum of Canada, Tollkeeper’s Cottage, TTC Greenwood Maintenance Shop, Variety Village, and the Westwood Sailing Club.

There are no tickets or pre-registration required. Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes, have sunblock, a hat, and water with you. It is not uncommon for some buildings to have long lines. Program guides will be available as inserts in the Thursday, May 21 edition of the Toronto Star, City Hall Doors Open Toronto Headquarters at 100 Queen Street West from Thursday, May 21, at the Royal Ontario Museum Friday night kick-off party from 4:30 - 9:30 PM., Access Toronto desks in all Toronto Civic Centres, and at All Doors Open Toronto buildings on the event weekend.
