Our family is giving the new AGO a thumbs-up!

My husband & I took a couple-only weekend away recently. We decided to take advantage of what our city has to offer. We spent Saturday touring the Art Gallery of Ontario & thoroughly enjoyed that.

We thought it was a great building. We loved the architecture, the galleries, and the art. We decided it would be a great destination for our children too.

As a result, I took the kids there over the holidays. Our 8-year loves drawing & enjoyed touring the galleries. She left behind one of her own contributions to the Gallery in one of the many “hubs” for inter-active and creative expression. Our 11 year old really connected with the contemporary art. I must say it's the most I've ever enjoyed looking at modern works, too. And the building that houses them is great fun too!

Need an idea for your next family fun-time outing? Consider the AGO. There's something there for all ages. Our family is giving the new AGO a thumbs-up!
