You can get less expensive tickets if you're under the age of 30. we got row V on the lower level and we were still able to see perfectly well . The tickets were $24 each.

Floor 💺 R gr8 but there’s really no bad spot in theatre . Has such a great vintage vibe. So much better w experience our festival than generic cineplexes

Chris

If you're watching a film here, stay away from seats on the back right and left sides of the main level, or you'll have a speaker hanging from the balcony block a small part of the screen!

2 theatres in 1. Being in them is like stepping back in time. The Winter Garden (on top of the Elgin) is more special, with lanterns, fake vegetation & plant-decorated walls

Apparently it's the only double storey theatre left in north America. The building is beautiful inside with still functional old elevators , old no-smoking signs, and marble everywhere

Rob Iacocca

One of the most beautiful and historic theatres in Toronto . The wallpaper is pretty cool too.

Such a beautiful theater ! We went for the Toronto Intl. Film Festival and saw Driven. Really, it’s so beautiful in here- like old Hollywood beautiful.

Nick Dees

Nice theater for live live shows. Also watch movies during the Film Festival .

Take time during intermission to tour the theatre . It is stunning. No cameras during the show! They are very strict on this.

This theatre is one of the most unique building in Toronto. The interior is stunning. It transforms you to another era.

The decor is a nice surprise inside but they can do better about customer service and treatment of those who actually PAY to go and spend time at this place!

This is the last Edwardian stacked theatre in the world (it's stacked with the Elgin Theatre ; one above the other).

It’s a pretty looking old theatre , but can get very stuffy and kind of anxiety inducing. Also it’s definitely haunted.

Stefon Jackman

Best theatre in Toronto hands down

Marvin

Beautiful theatre is an understatement.

Transports me back to an era where people of my descent weren't even allowed into places like this. What an experience.
