I squeezed in a visit to Fort York before heading to the airport. It was a little bit of a walk…read morefrom Stackt to get to the main entrance after crossing Bathhurst St over the train tracks. The park admission was free and they offered free tours at the top of the hour. I joined the first one of the day. I happened to be the only person and Natalia was a wealth of information. We covered the founding of the fort, the war of 1812, living conditions for soldiers and officers before transitioning to Katie in the kitchen. The kitchen tour covered the tools used, extensive menus sometimes prepared for the offices and even got to sample some gingerbread cookies baked over the open flamed fireplace. Both gave excellent presentations and i definitely recommend taking the tour versus walking around on your own. There were two buildings that were not included in the tour that I wandered through on my own. If limited with time then you must enter the No. 2 Center Blockhouse (per Natalia and my own experience). There were two floors filled with artifacts and explanations about the weapons (used by the fort and soldiers) and the different types of British soldiers and officers including Calvary, physician and musicians. There was even a room where you can listen to different bugle calls. A gravel path connected the buildings but it you wanted to see the walls, the well or magazine then you have to cross over grass. The grass was filled with poop from geese?? Learned a lot during my short visit. Well worth the time. At the end exit through the gift shop.

After living in Toronto for so long, finally I can say I've been to this site…read more I've seen the area from being stuck in traffic on the Gardiner expressway, and noticed concerts being held there occasionally, and also have seen the Fort re-enactment scene in the Toronto-centric 2011 chick-flick "Take This Waltz" but can't say I've been there til now. The area leading up to it is mainly the space under the Gardiner. Over the last couple years that space has been cleaned up and put to use, rather than being a rubble dump. We drove there, entering the general area, now called The Bentway, exiting Spadina via Fort York Boulevard and turned right at the Canadian Forces building which isn't well-marked on maps just yet. The road leading in to the parking lot is one of those pedestrian-friendly roads that encourage cars to take it easy and share the road with little definition between cars and pedestrians, making eye-contact a normal thing between the two. To the left was what later turned out to be an outdoor dance-party, with plenty of Green-P parking to the right. It looked like the parking was 24-hours so even though it was tempting to not pay, it is probably a good idea, and the hourly rates are cheap. Along the parking lot on the north side of the Gardiner is a part of the National Historic Site, a building that stretches a long way. It was closed when we went, and only open during the daytime. Since we were there for an outdoor movie, that didn't matter anyway so we continued around the building walking to the east end of it where there are outdoor stairs to the park. The pop-up movie was so much fun! For starters I relished the sensation of being in a large empty field, surrounded by the concrete canyon, bordered by the Gardiner, strung along like patio lanterns through the tall condos bordering the lake which is obscured by all the city structures. That was not a problem as we were there to watch a movie and it was getting dark. Not too dark, mind you, since this area is surrounded by plenty of artificial lighting as well as a magnificently large view of the sky and all that. Just lying on the ground looking up was unbelievable given the location. I'm more used to having things up close and personal whenever downtown and this was quite the opposite. The movie, put on by Toronto Outdoor Picture Show (TOPS and FRIENDS) topictureshow.com/2021 has admission by advance tickets only. That night it was a Bollywood classic, a story about a wedding. I loved the rich colours, and from one scene, "No I don't want white tents, what is this, a funeral??". "He wants the traditional colored tents!!" "OK, no problem." The screen was a blow up deal like a bouncy castle, and was a pleasure to watch, and if I got bored I simply looked up at the beautifully textured clouds in the sky highlighted by the setting sun, just gorgeous. And the soundtrack was belting out sizzling sitar and booming bongos, from a kickass PA system that was clear and solid, cranked up nicely for us. I ran back to my vehicle, where luckily I had an air mattress and sleeping bag from recently camping which made the longish movie a much better treat being cozy and warm. Standard swag, popcorn, sweets, and good craft beer were available by credit card at the snack booth on site. Highly recommended!!

We went on the outdoor tour and got to visit several historical buildings including a blacksmith, printing press, homes, and general store. Everything was interesting to get to see. Inside the main museum space, they were holding a "everyday superheroes" theme with different stations like firefighters, ambulance, hospital/vet, police, store, farm. There was also a dress up area. On the top level, there were keva bricks to build whatever you can imagine. Tons and tons of keva bricks. Price: Not too expensive to visit, can spend a few hours here easily.

Make time to walk around the grounds whether it's a short hike to the cemetery and sculpture garden or a more extensive jaunt around the Humber River behind the museum.
