This is one of the best museum i have ever seen. Its has a really nice collection of things. Take out a lot of time when you go here and if you are a fan of museum type of places then its a must visit place.

Just saw the show for Mothers day. We were able to park in the parking lot ($20) across the street from the theatre (also now called the Ed Mirvish theatre). Great old theatre - we had a nice view of the stage from the Mezzanine level. I would suggest trying to get seats more to the middle as you can... More

The theatre is easy to get to and the seating very comfortable. Only complaint is that the ladies washroom is never big enough -... More

Infact, if you are outside of this theatre, on Victoria street, walk a bit south and on the south exterior wall of the theatre there is... More

Loved it!!!!! A group of us went recently, including a 10yr old boy, who was on the edge of his seat throughout the show. I think they did a great job and tackling a big movie. Personally for me it was the Wicked Witch ( Lisa Horner, who is also happens to be the same woman from the Ikea "start... More

The Wizard of OZ is my wife's favorite movie and the theatre presentation was terrific. The soecial effects and costumes were amazing. Funny thing, I think the wicked witch of the west was the most popular character. Seating was a bit cramped but once the show started you forgot about the discomfort. Disappointed in the size of the lobby. Not... More
