Candace NicholsonAugust 9, 2014Great exhibits, most of which you can photograph for personal use. The gift ship staff is unhelpful, but there's free WiFi.
If you are under 40, have an interest in art, and enjoy fun events with great people then you should join AGO Next.
Richard BarberNovember 20, 2016Be sure to check out the Mystical Landscapes Exhibit. Can't be described as anything other than genius.
Magali MAugust 13, 2014Really cool museum, Nice collections, uber friendly staff . Definitely stop by.
StephanieOctober 27, 2017They have some major art pieces but I was sad to see none from my favourite artist, Salvador Dali.
Nick TanFebruary 22, 2024Free admission every Wednesday from 6PM to 9PM. Make sure to book tickets in advance!
Eeva MäkeläJuly 30, 2015Architecture that creates perfect surroundings for the art it hides inside. Emily Carr exhibition was truly amazing!
Christina SquitieriMarch 22, 2019Amazing. The First Peoples gallery is just incredible and so important.
Alex ShalanAugust 28, 2013The European collection with the religious ivory and birch wood relics are impressive and worth admiring.
Heather Li | 李小倩December 9, 2012Do Yoga at the AGO for just $10. You get to practice when the place is closed—a unique experience.
MV1 CanadaAugust 15, 2011The AGO offers American Sign Language tours for visitors who are deaf or have hearing loss. The tours are interactive and are designed to increase visitors' opportunities to engage with art.
The collection is quite good for CANADIAN standards but the security they have has too much power tripping-need to learn respect and customer service.

Barbara WarnerMay 20, 2012Fabulous family area in basement -- worth the trip down if only to see the intriguing and beautiful "Emily Carr"!
Henry'sDecember 14, 2012It goes without saying, that we highly recommend you check out the Photography section of the Art Gallery!
HI-Toronto HostelAugust 17, 2011On Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:30pm admission to the gallery’s permanent collection is free.
Chris R (thechristophe)December 14, 2015A bit blah, there is nothing that stands out and there isn't much curation just items stuck in a room. The building is great for sure, but that alone isn’t worth the entrance price.
Jim MorrisonSeptember 16, 2010Admire Ghery's architecture or the art exhibits, always great. They have free tours with a guide to various exhibits. very informative. Check their website for timings.
photojunkieApril 19, 2012Wednesday nights are free at the Gallery. It's a great destination for an inexpensive date.
Colin WalcottNovember 14, 2012Don't park on Dundas or McCaul Street after 6PM :) Otherwise I love the Art Gallery of Ontario
Brandon McarthurApril 2, 2011I worked here a while back - if you get a chance talk to the guards in the brown suits - they actually are a lot of fun
Yvonne YungSeptember 21, 2013Remember to get the AGO app on your phone for the audio tour, very useful.
Tiina JenkinsSeptember 11, 2011Chagall and the Russians, do not miss it! And the Moore is great for climbing kids.
