Top Historical landmarks in Toronto, Canada

The guide was very passionate about the history museum so it was a very interesting and enjoyable experience. The inside of the house is very well curated.

A hidden gem right beside Casa Loma. Free tour by the Toronto historical society will tell you lots of histories about the past and the lifes of different people or groups. Outside, is this beautiful garden. You can sit with a blanket to enjoy bird singing, fresh air and/or just a quiet afternoon. Truly great place to visit and enjoy. Highly recommended.

The guided tour is great, they are really excited to share their knowledge and stories about the Austin family. The administration takes care of the place nicely and the tour is free.

Such a gorgeous location, it really takes you to the past with its architecture and beautiful gardens! The staff is so sweet and informative and the grounds make for a perfect picnic spot, photoshoot or a walk with the family.

Currently there’s no parking on grounds but Casa Loma offers all day parking and it’s just next door.

Stunningly beautiful, each room has a color theme. The more than 100-year-old architecture bears a strong historical mark

An interesting sculpture to the side of the government building. This is one of the many sites and attractions to visit when exploring the park and surrounding areas.

Loved this quaint historical mansion. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and listening to the story about the family who lived here while we saw all the antiques gave a palpable experience. It was nice to imagine myself living a life here some decades ago. Me and my friends walked into this museum without expecting much as it is close to our college and free of charge too. Now it is one of my favourite places. The park surrounding the house is lush with greenery, flowers and it’s so nice to take naps under the sun and breeze.

A heritage plaque describing the Sherbourne blockhouse. It was a fortification on what once was Torontos northern border in the early to mid 1800s. It eventually became obsolete and was turned into housing for soldiers before being torn down in the late 1800s.

Such an absolute beauty and 20th century aesthetic hidden in this well preserved mansion. It documents the lifestyle of a wealthy Canadian family that lived for almost a 100 years at Spadina; showcasing the different interior design choices and intimate details in the furniture, wallpaper and even the paintings drawn by the family members themselves.
The admissions are free and I absolutely recommend joining a guided tour to fully grasp the beauty and context of the lives spent in this mansion.
The you can last up to 90 minutes, I suggest starting early in the day and brining your curiosity and love for history and the arts with you!
The staff are super helpful and they truly comprehend the multitude of this mansion’s history and heritage. There’s a small gift shop and there’s also a vast garden/park that surrounds the mansion that is accessed through the mansion’s main gate.
I visited Spadina on a rainy day but I believe it would be even more beautiful on a nice sunny day 🌸⭐️

This is one of the best tours I've had in Toronto. The tour guide was very friendly and thorough in their explanations. The tour was quite long for such a small place. There's just so much details to explore here. Please do come!

Lots of murals with more promotional activities among businesses.

Beautiful area right by the lake. Nice place for a walk. There's an off leash dog park right next to the monument as well. The monument commemorates the opening of the QEW, named after Queen Elizabeth, QE2's mother.

I've been coming here for over 30 years. A treasure of memories since my parents brought me here as a kid. Timeless.

This review is related to the event held on Aug 27 - it was okay overall. There weren’t many new murals that I noticed for this event except for the few displayed on the rooftop of the parking garage. The entertainment itself was ok, wasn’t too much of a turnout, just about 3 or 4 art pieces to observe.

Great turn out, healthy crowd. Could of used more famous acts or entertainment acts. Maybe a justin bieber or a drake performance would of put the cherry on the top.

Awesome as always!

A quick stroll to look at the murals. The balloon entrance was a new feature. Not for people with mobility issues as there are steps with no ramp.

An iconic building of historical importance to Toronto. The surviving building from mid 19th century Toronto fire.

Really nice place to see and take some pics. Part of the bigger park. This place is free. It's a monument. No tickets needed

威廉 · 里昂 · 麦肯齐（William Lyon Mackenzie）苏格兰出生的加拿大裔美国记者和政治家。1851 年到 1858 年，他在省议会中代表哈尔迪曼德县( Haldimand County) 选区的议员。1861 年 8 月 28 日去世。
这座雕像非常精美、生动、传神！

Beautiful monument to the late Queen Mother. Should have better upkeep though.

We finally got an opportunity to visit Queen Elizabeth Way Monument. And there's also a off leash dog park right beside. Nice spot off the trails to stop and relax. Take your dog into the off leashed dog park. The monument is so close to the Humber Bay Arch bridge. Just steps east

From the plaque - which is on the west side of the building: This building was first constructed in 1833 for owner Daniel Brooke, a prominent merchant in the Town of York. It was substantially rebuilt between 1848-1849 prior to the Great Fire of April 1849 which started in a nearby stable. While much of the business district was destroyed, this building escaped major damage. It housed a variety of commercial enterprises over the years, including the prosperous wholesale grocery business of James Austin and Patrick Foy in the 1840s. Austin went on to become a president of the Consumers' Gas Company and of the Dominion Bank. His home, Spadina, became a museum in 1984. During the mid-19th century, the Daniel Brooke building contained the offices of The Patriot, an influential conservative newspaper. The block is a rare example of Georgian architecture in Toronto.

An impressive monument. I didn't know the QEW was named after the Queen Mother, I always assumed it was named after our current Queen Elizabeth.

Historical building with heritage value was build in 1833. This building at 150-154 King Street East, on the northeast corner with Jarvis Street, managed, somehow, to escape the Great Fire of 1849.During the mid-19th century, the Daniel Brooke building contained the offices of The Patriot, an influential conservative newspaper. The block is a rare example of Georgian architecture in Toronto.

Gorgeous and grand monument. Unfortunately it's not really visible when you're walking to the park.

Located on the ground of Queen's Park. This monument was designed by Walter Allward.

Monument de l'organisateur d'une rébellion contre le gouvernement du Haut-Canada , ayant échoué pour un changement démocratique..

This monument was erected in the middle of the highway at the Toronto end of the Q.E.W. in 1939. Moved to the present location when Q.E.W. was widened in 1974.
