🇨🇦 Hidden Gem Alert: Spadina Museum During Doors Open! 🏛️✨

Just visited the Spadina Museum next to Casa Loma during Doors Open - what a fascinating glimpse into Toronto's gilded age! This was once the grand estate of the influential Austin family, including the founder of TD Bank and his wife, the vice-president of the Canadian Art Association. 💰🎨 Now open to the public as a museum (free admission!), it's like stepping into a 1920s time capsule of Canada's high society. The elegant interiors and sprawling gardens will transport you to another era! 🌸 🌿 Why You'll Love It: • Exquisitely preserved period rooms (that vintage glam! 💫) • Lush gardens with breathtaking city views from the hilltop 🌆 • Free guided tours available (knowledgeable staff bring history to life!) 🎭 • Perfect combo with a Casa Loma visit - they're neighbors! 🏰 🕰️ Tour Schedule: Wed-Fri: 12:15pm, 1:15pm, 2:15pm, 3:15pm & 4pm Sat-Sun: 11:15am + all above times 🌷 Garden Hours: Daily 11am-5pm (perfect for picnics!) 🧺 📍 Getting There: 285 Spadina Rd (10-min walk uphill from Dupont Station) Pro tip: The scenic approach through the park feels like entering a secret garden! 🌳 #TorontoHistory #DoorsOpenTO #HistoricHomes #MuseumHoppers #TimeTravel #TorontoWalks #HiddenToronto #ArchitectureLovers #FreeAttractions #WeekendExploration
