Tips & Advice
- Buy your tickets before November 27 to get the early bird rates, and bring ID that matches the name on your ticket.

- Exhibition GO Station is right on the grounds, with both the Lakeshore East and Lakeshore West lines stopping there, so the train is an easy way in.
- Head to the Creative Lounge early if you want a workshop spot, since classes fill first-come, first-served and some need an on-site sign-up.
- Seniors should come on November 30 and PRESTO users on December 2, when the box office offers special-priced tickets.
