What’s open and closed this Family Day

Watch the video above: Alan Carter takes a look around Toronto to see what people are doing on Family Day. 

TORONTO – You might be surprised to learn that Canada Post will be delivering mail on Monday. Federal government offices are also open. This is because, unlike most statutory holidays, Family Day is a provincial holiday and not a federal holiday. You could also take the kids to see The LEGO Movie or hit one of the many attractions that will be open around the city (if you’re brave enough to venture out in the extreme cold weather expected to hit overnight).

Full list of what’s open and closed this Family Day below.

Transit

The TTC runs on its holiday schedule Monday while GO Transit runs on its Saturday schedule. Keep in mind that the subway will not be running between Warden and Kennedy stations on Monday as the TTC is doing work on the tracks. Shuttle buses will be in place between these stations.

Open

If you want to get out and shop you’re in luck as the Eaton Centre, Square One, Pacific Mall, and Vaughan Mills are all open.

Most major attractions are open, including the Ontario Science Centre, Toronto Zoo, CN Tower, ROM, Art Gallery of Ontario, Casa Loma, Ripley’s Aquarium and the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Hockey Hall of Fame is also free for kids on Family Day.

Some city-run ice rinks and swimming pools will be open, as well as the High Park Zoo.

Most movie theatres are open.

Select grocery stores will be open.

*To be safe, we highly recommend calling ahead before heading out to one of the above mentioned locations as some of these will be running on a different schedule than normal.

Schools, libraries, and city-run daycares are all closed.
