I love street art and so it is something I try and hunt down when I visit anywhere. Whilst visiting my family one of them suggested visiting Graffiti Alley in Downtown Toronto and I was really glad I did. There is some amazing artwork there. It is not just people tagging buildings. If you like unusual art I definitely recommend visiting this area. It's AMAZING!

If you’re around Queen st w, Chinatown in Toronto, Graffiti Alley is worth a half hour of your time, especially if you are artistic or have artists in the making. So much great art to see and absorb, it’s an experience just to try and figure out meanings and grasp more recent pop culture references. My teenage daughter loved it, see was engaged and impressed. Take some time and enjoy Graffiti Alley!

We walked through briefly before our visit to Chinatown. It was a fun, off the beaten path activity to do with our two 7 year olds. There are a number of parks nearby with playgrounds as well as many cafes if you want to make a full morning hike r afternoon out of it.

This is a big outdoor art space a couple of blocks long between Queen and Richmond. The graffiti itself is a pretty mixed bag. Some of it is very good and other stuff is not so good or just tagging material. However, I enjoyed it a lot and the good works are very good. I think it is also a popular filming area since a bunch of young men were shooting a video when I was there. I think it is a good place to go if you are generally in the area and are looking for something to do after other attractions are closed, such as the museums. I think I was there for about 45 mins and that was more than enough (partly because the guys filming slowed everyone down). A lot of people were also taking photos there.

Graffiti Alley in Queen West is truly a hidden treasure in Toronto. This street is covered in incredible graffiti art & well worth a visit! Graffiti Alley is the type of spot that gives a city their charm & uniqueness! Super unique & talented works of art to check out! Take your time & explore around- every nook & turn awaits with more art to see. We spent over a hour checking it all out, taking photos & soaking the local talent in!
