Things to Do in Toronto: A Plan for Every Mood

Toronto never runs short of plans. The hard part is picking one. This guide is the front door to everything The Loop has filed under things to do: tonight, this weekend, rainy days, date nights, plans with kids or teens, plans for one or for a group, a single day in the city, and the season you happen to be in. Choose the situation that sounds like yours and follow the link.

Plenty of good plans cost nothing, and that is a fact we can show. The City of Toronto runs 10 history museums and says general admission at all of them is free. Toronto Public Library's tpl:map lets you book a free pass to arts and cultural attractions with an adult library card, subject to availability. Each May, Doors Open Toronto invites the public to explore the city's most-loved buildings and sites, free of charge. Ideas like these sit underneath the plans below, so the weekend you pick holds up.

Dates, hours and prices change, so each guide sends you to the organiser's own page instead of repeating them here. Our picks are marked as picks, and every fact we state carries a public source. Start with the guide that matches your mood, and keep the rest for next weekend.
