| - One of the great ones, worth joining.
I love the expansive permanent exhibit, the great architecture, the layout. I can come here just to relax, notice new details, wander with music on headphones, and stop for tea. The special exhibits may be bigger or smaller, but over the year there are always some of very high artistic and experiential value. Well OK. Some are downright fun.
Affordable - one great membership option "For Two - Member + Guest" lets you take any other person on a given day, including (so far) all special exhibits. This pays for itself quickly, and then having a year pass makes dropping by any open day or time so convenient. Plus your guest may want to treat you to coffee or a quick bite which is nice.
Aside: I wish the ROM and the Science Centre would be half as intelligent with their year passes - the ROM looks an utter mess now, and both 'institutions' can't seem to help charging out of control prices for everything. This city needs better reflection of civic pride, and it needs to be a little more accessible...
The AGO is also big enough- you may need a few visits to get the 'flow' of the place, which keeps it interesting. Just a very high-value experience, aesthetically. The pride of Toronto, really.
