    I’ve heard rave reviews about the new ago so expect huge lineups. I think this is one time i’d prefer to let the crowds settle down so i can properly appreciate the art!

    just walked by on way home and FYI – at 5:30 line up went down McCaul though park by OCAD almost to John Street..but it looks stunning!

    We went yesterday, and yes there were lineups, but only until they opened the doors at 4 pm. After there we quickly proceeded up the sidewalk, around the corner and into the building. Once inside, we found everything laid out extremely well, and not at all too crowded! Well, worth any waiting!!! We had an awesome time, thanks to the AGO for this freebie and for being such wonderful hosts!!!

    We went tonight (Saturday) around 10, I know late, but we went to the toronto symphony orchestra and dinner afterwards. It was very busy and we were rushing around to see everything. It was fun though and too bad I am in Kitchener or else I would hit it up tomorrow too. We got ago buttons too.
