Spadina Museum, Toronto

I was able to visit this place as a part of Doors Open Toronto. The house is fantastic - they've done a wonderful job maintaining the historical finishes inside - to match the photos that exist. There was staff in every room, explaining details about the house. They had a video playing in the basement that went into even more detail. The grounds are even more stunning. They had little games like they would have been playing in the 1800s. The trees were flowering(!!!), the gardens were perfect... It was breathtaking.

I really liked this museum. Excellent preservation of the home with very knowledgeable guides to take you on a tour of each room. There’s also the beautiful, really well-maintained grounds where you can grab a drink, do some reading or just sit and soak in the peace and quiet. Highly recommend a visit, especially on a nice summer day.

Beautiful place! We spent amazing time here. Thank you so much for the tour, it’s was fascinating! Recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment, cause now spaces are limited.

Visited during Doors Open on a gorgeous sunny day; a fair number of visitors to the awesome gardens. Very peaceful and colourful. Noted many plants I know. Lots in bloom. The building is a historic landmark & is free entry always, according to the signage.

Nice historic landmark and pretty exterior- was here for the Dis/Mantle exhibit and it was great to learn briefly about Black history with a modern artistic interpretation. It is currently a free exhibit! There is a greenhouse in the garden but that is closed to the public.
