🏙️🔭 DOORS OPEN TORONTO: SKYLINE VIEWS & HIDDEN SPACES WALK 🔭🏙️

Observation Decks, City Icons & A Once-a-Year Experience
Some places in Toronto you walk past every day… but rarely get to go inside.
This is your chance.

Join us for a special Doors Open Toronto outing, where we’ll explore two of the city’s most iconic buildings — including access to spaces that aren’t usually open to the public.
This event only happens once a year, and it’s one of the best ways to experience the city from a completely different perspective.
This is not a formal tour.

It’s a social outing — with incredible views, a bit of history, and shared discovery.

🏙️ What We’ll Do

We’ll start at TD Bank Tower (66 Wellington St W), part of the Toronto-Dominion Centre — one of the finest examples of modernist architecture in the city, designed by legendary architect Mies van der Rohe.
We’ll head up to the observation area (approximately 223 metres high), where you’ll get a stunning view of Toronto’s skyline from a space that isn’t typically open to the public.
From there, we’ll walk over to Toronto City Hall and visit its observation deck.

Opened in 1965 and designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell, City Hall’s curved twin towers and central council chamber make it one of Toronto’s most recognizable landmarks.
From above, you’ll get a completely different view of Nathan Phillips Square and the downtown core.

⚠️ Please note: both locations are very popular during Doors Open, so there will likely be wait times. Part of the experience is the buzz and energy of the day.

Afterward, we’ll head over to CF Toronto Eaton Centre for a casual lunch in the food court. 🍔🥗
You’re welcome to join or head out whenever you like.

🏛️ What Is Doors Open Toronto?

Doors Open Toronto is a free annual city-wide event that opens the doors to architecturally, historically, and culturally significant buildings across Toronto.

For one weekend, you can explore spaces that are usually closed to the public — from office towers and historic sites to creative and civic spaces.
It’s one of the best ways to connect with the city and see what’s normally hidden in plain sight.

🌦️ Weather & Expectations

This event will run rain or shine.

Be prepared for:
✔️ Walking between locations
✔️ Standing in lines
✔️ A busy, energetic atmosphere

Wear comfortable shoes and bring patience — it’s part of the experience.
Also — this is NOT a guided historical tour. I’ll share context casually, but the focus is on exploring together.
