If you're going there on a reg day, completely fine... this is for you if you're planning to go to see fireworks ! The worst location !!! Completely covered by trees and buildings .... + THEY NEVER DID A COUNTDOWN !!!
The center, which opened in 1974, is a stunning urban playground and one of the most popular destinations for locals and visitors alik and a great place to spend time strolling, picnicking, gallery-hopping, biking, shopping, and sailing. Harbourfront has several venues devoted to the arts. Underground parking is available on-site at 235 Queens Quay West, or above-ground one block west at Rees Street and Queens Quay West.

Serenity! Where blue meets the blue! Lake Ontario is not an ocean, and Toronto is not just a city. This place, lakeside view, city nights, and the people around always attract me. A good place for a walk, views of the airplane landing at Billy Bishop airport, and the mesmerizing dark blue watercolor (if you are lucky enough). This place gets messy during weekends, especially when tourists come around to hop on the Toronto Island ferry, otherwise, a perfect place to sit with a coffee and enjoy the beauty!

A very beautiful beach and a long walk along the beach may be a memorable trip to everyone, enjoy boating, speed boating with family and friends. You may enjoy the beautiful view of CN Tower and the skyrise buildings specially during evening.
This harbor front is amazing 💯. Everything is beautiful, and there's so much to do and see. You can have a great dinner, stop and get dessert 🍨 and enjoy the boats 🚢 and planes landing and taking off at the airport. You can also turn around and check out Toronto's amazing skyline with the CN tower as the pin 📌 point. This place is worth spending some time 💯. Give it a try.

Summer is the best at Harbourfront Center. I love the opportunity to experience so many different cultures at no extra cost. It's also just a 5 minute walk from Union Station.

We picked one of the hottest day of summer Wednesday July 5th.2023 to visit Harbourfront Centre.
Overall one of the exciting trip by Go Train to Union Station and walk through many skyline towers to reach the waterfront.
Beautiful views of Lake Ontario and surrounding areas where we took lots of pictures.
Highly recommended to visit and enjoy this entertaining neighborhood.
There was nothing to see in this two-room gallery. Seriously. Nothing to see. And yet it was heavily advertised all around as being some amazing experience. Don't waste your time with the current exhibit (Tumbling in Harness).

The only reason why I gave this two stars instead of one was because it is free and has generous work hours (until 8 PM). It's possible to explore the entire building as well to check out the architecture, which helps make up for the poor art experience.

A great area in downtown Toronto, right on the waterfront with lots going on always. The area is definitely a year round destination but comes alive in the summer! Many shows and venues reside in this area and you can always find something interesting to do in the area. Super clean inside and out with great spaces everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised to find outdoor washroom facilities on site that were super clean, the best I’ve ever seen. Lots of food options, available nearby, as well as seating and places to chill.
I was given incorrect information about the hours twice.
First time, I was told it's open till 8 pm on Wed.
I came on Wed. Google was showing the museum as open, but it was closed.
This time, I was told it was just closed for an event.
It turned out it was closed until May 3rd because of change of installations.
Horrible user experience. The admits should add hours on the ad banner and update google information when they have changes.
I visited specifically for the exhibition Drift: Art and Dark Matter. It was excellent. The immersion of art in science that these artists expressed was so impressive. Take some time away from the university streets and just rest and intake something quiet.
Small gallery but it’s free and still nice! And there’s another one close by in the university.
The Justina M. Barnicke is a continuation of University of Toronto's Art Museum. The gallery showcases mainly contemporary art from both local and international artists. Featured exhibits rotate about every six weeks. The gallery is just two rooms, but is only steps away from the larger half of the gallery, the University of Toronto Art Centre .
贾斯蒂娜 · M · 巴尼克画廊是多伦多大学艺术博物馆的延续。 画廊主要展示当地和国际艺术家的当代艺术。 画廊只是两个房间,距离多伦多大学艺术中心只有几步之遥。
It's a small gallery but definitely worth a visit. Would be nice if the staff were a bit more welcoming, but i take it they don't get many visitors
