A unique, historical and beautiful location in the heart of Toronto. Features include an architecturally significant building dating back to 1829 and beautiful and tranquil gardens with several areas to sit and take in the surroundings. Large wrought iron fences surround the area and cobblestone drives are a wonderful feature. Large trees offer shade and one would not feel as though they are in the heart of a large metropolitan city.

I can't believe I passed by this beautiful place and never realized what it held inside! This building has a gorgeous library and it's full of paintings of past treasurers, each with their own unique touches! There's a dining hall thats been used for over a hundred years with short little seats because people were tinier back then. Come in for a treasure trove of Canadian law history :)

Very beautiful from the outside! The trees are absolutely lovely and the old design and floors were a sight to behold. One of the cooler architecture pieces of Toronto as it was designed more than 100 years ago! Definitely a treat to have explored it during doors open Toronto, as it was a great cultural experience and a fun one too! Definitely recommend!

I have passed by so many times but never went inside. What you may not know is that this building is open to the public. Before entering you are subject to a security check, however. Be sure to visit the law library.

Came for the 1:15 PM tour of the vast majority of Osgoode Hall. Was a great experience; got to see all of the meaningful architecture, as well as the private areas only available with the tour. Was allowed to take photos and videos. There was a mandatory body and luggage check upon entering, but not a big deal. Tour guide was friendly and provided a good experience. Admission is free. Highly recommend even if you miss the tour.
