The City of Toronto unveils the lineup of buildings, city-wide walking tours and special programming for this year’s Doors Open Toronto. Taking place on Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25, the free weekend-long celebration of architecture and public space invites the public to explore more than 150 sites through the lens of this year’s theme, “Play”.
This year’s edition celebrates the joyful, imaginative and sometimes serious ways we come together through sports, music, games, performance and more. From historic theatres and sports clubs to creative studios and community hubs, the 2025 edition of Doors Open encourages people of all ages to discover Toronto as a vibrant playground of inspiration, expression and connection.
Since launching 25 years ago, Doors Open Toronto has become one of the largest events of its kind in Canada, providing rare access to buildings not typically open to the public and free entry to sites that usually charge admission.
This year’s edition of Doors Open will transform the city into a playground of ideas, creativity and connection. New additions include Ubisoft Toronto, Spin Master Headquarters, St. Lawrence Market North, the YZD Experience Centre, the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, the historic Thornton-Smith Building, MaRS Discovery District and OCAD University. Fan favourites like Old City Hall and the historic Don Jail at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital also return for the first time since 2019.
From architecture, design, gaming, history, innovation and the arts, there is something for every interest and curiosity. Whether discovering a new space or revisiting a familiar landmark, the 2025 edition offers a citywide celebration of “Play” in all its forms.
