Doors Open is Toronto’s Best Weekend, Even When You’re Soaked by Rain

When you live somewhere long enough, it’s almost inevitable that you begin to miss the intrigue, stories, and visual appeal of surrounding landmarks. Hence the novelty of being a tourist in your own city.

And moreover, the appeal of Doors Open Toronto. In case you’re not familiar with it, for one weekend in May every year, a selection of buildings in the city of Toronto open up to the general public, several of them being closed off or less accessible at every other time of the year. Want to ascend to a preserved mid-century modern office in the sky? Now’s your chance. Curious about the hidden subway platform underneath Bay Station? Get your camera ready.

The options change every year, listed on the toronto.ca website, and the past few years yielded visits to quite a few wishlist destinations such as the elegant R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant and the Spin Master head office. But a thorough perusal of Toronto’s old and new city halls had yet to be done. If one is going to consider themself from a place, being acquainted with the city hall feels appropriate.

Knowing how popular the Doors Open weekend is, just like the art crawl that is Nuit Blanche, lineups were expected. So it’s a good idea to choose what your top two destinations are, get up early, and head to the first one so you can be in line by 9:30 a.m. at least and walk in at 10:00.
