Cheap Entertainment

I love it for being open to everyone and having kickass exhibitions (I missed Andy Warhol and was very sad). They are also free Wednesday nights.

learn about art in a fun way, children-friendly, cheap way to spend the day with the whole family

Now free on Thursday evenings from 5-8 pm. Wacky as it sounds - shoes can actually tell you a lot about a culture, and the Bata Shoe Museum is one of the more memorable museums I've been to. It's pretty big, and they have shoes from throughout the ages, many of which are incredibly intricately designed.

Wednesday nights 6-9pm, admission is free (except for special exhibitions)

Friday nights from 4:30 - 9:30pm, $5 gets you into all permanent collections and special exhibitions

it lets us Torontonians share, explore and appreciate our city on May 5 2007.

this nearly monthly series of lectures given by people who are not professionally expert in the subject matter is like the most fun you can have for $5. curated with care, with original sets designed each time, well-selected mostly-toronto soundtrack courtesy of carl wilson, and MCed by hilarious misha glouberman, this is a night out worth trying. www.trampolinehall.net for info on upcoming performances.
