| - This is one awesome hidden gem in Toronto. I'm assuming it's hidden because there weren't many tourists when I was there. From the outside, the building itself looks nice. Once you walk in, you're greeted by fresh air, beautiful flowers, and peaceful. There are statues throughout the garden and a pond inside. You can easily spend an hour minimum at this garden. It's big and many different sections. I believe there were about 4 sections or more. The staff were friendly. They don't bother you and if you stop to ask them a question, they have no problem answering you.
It's free and you can take all the pictures that you want! They hold different events here throughout the year. When I was there in October, there was an upcoming event titled "The Fall Chrysanthemum Exhibition". From the ad, it seems like an awesome event. If I lived in the area, I would definitely attend every exhibit they host.
Random, but the day I came here, I arrived 9:30am. At 10:30am, they were asking all the guest to leave because there was a police investigation. Someone was attacked a little earlier that day. That was so random. I was inside for an hour and everything seems fine so not sure what was going on.
