The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) has been added to the Toronto CityPASS program, broadening access to one of Canada's premier cultural institutions for travelers seeking discounted admission to the city's top attractions. CityPASS, which offers bundled ticketing for major destinations across North America, now includes the AGO as a choice attraction alongside existing options such as the Royal Ontario Museum, City Cruises Toronto, Casa Loma, and the Toronto Zoo.
The AGO, founded in 1900, houses a collection of more than 120,000 works spanning contemporary art, Indigenous and Canadian artists, and European masterpieces. Notable highlights include the world's largest public collection of Henry Moore sculptures, Peter Paul Rubens' "The Massacre of the Innocents" (c. 1610), and Yayoi Kusama's immersive installation "INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET'S SURVIVE FOREVER" (2017). The museum is currently undergoing its seventh expansion, the Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery, set to open in 2027.
Megan Allen, president and CEO of City Pass, Inc., said, "The Art Gallery of Ontario is an essential cultural destination, and we're pleased to welcome it to the Toronto CityPASS program. This partnership reinforces our mission to make world-class experiences more affordable, accessible and convenient for travelers."
Toronto CityPASS tickets provide savings of up to 38% on prepaid admission to five attractions in one mobile ticket. The program includes admission to CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, plus a choice of three attractions from a list that now includes the AGO. Tickets cost $134.96 CAD for adults and $99.96 CAD for children ages 4-12, excluding tax, and are valid for nine consecutive days. Mobile tickets are available at citypass.com, and ticketholders can use the My CityPASS app to access tickets and view details.
The AGO offers extensive programming for all ages, including live performances, talks, and family-friendly activities at the Dr. Mariano Elia Hands-On Centre. Seasonal events like Family Day and March Break programs combine storytelling, artmaking, and performances. Dining options range from the AGO Bistro to the Espresso Bar and high tea in the Members Lounge, while Shop AGO features artisan jewelry and art-inspired gifts.
Since its founding in 1997, CityPASS has sold more than 30 million tickets across 17 North American destinations. The addition of the AGO underscores the program's commitment to including world-class cultural experiences. For more information, visit CityPASS.com.
