    Teachers were very strict, I had to wear a dunce hat in the corner atleast two times a week. As well, the desks were unstable and shook a lot.

    Small but fun place to visit during Doors Open Toronto 2023! You could have your photo taken while sitting at a desk, or even at the teacher's chair at the front of the classroom. There was also a working piano. In particular, there was one male Toronto History Museums staff/volunteer when we visited Saturday morning, who was really fun and enthusiastic, knew a lot about the schoolhouse and allowed us to pick and see textbooks from the small bookshelf near the door. Nice to see the historic site being taken care of!

    Historical building that has been here for a long time but rebuilt many times from the original log school house. It's open during the Doors Open exhibits.

    Fantastic place to spend time with kids. Very well maintained and nice staff. It is very interesting to know how schools looked like back in 1991.

    Fun place to visit and they have preserved the school house really well! Went for Doors Open Toronto in May and I plan to go back in June during the next festival!

    Visiting the Zion Schoolhouse, an establishment rooted in history since around 1900, offered a unique glimpse into Toronto's educational past. This meticulously preserved one-room schoolhouse provides a tangible connection to the early 20th-century learning environment, offering an immersive experience unlike any other. The attention to detail in the restoration and the informative displays breathe life into the stories of those who once studied and taught here. It's a hidden gem for history enthusiasts and a poignant reminder of the evolution of education over the years. A visit here is not just educational but also a step back in time, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Toronto's history.

    The simplicity of school and learning without the internet, Facebook, Twitter etc. Just books, a chalkboard, and desks. A good stop during Doors Open Toronto.

    a beautifully preserved school house from the 1800s, gives you a sense for what it was like long ago.

    Old fashion. Nice to know what school is like at Victoria time.

    Went here on a school trip a long time ago (on the 90s or so). Still remember the trip relatively well

    nice grass

  • 4/5 John z. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 2 reviews
    Had an incredible time here, the staff there James was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge. Cannot commend enough how nice the staff were. However, the exhibit is rather small and only opens a few days per year. Nonetheless, it is clear THM is doing great work and I can't wait to see their other locations!

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Very peaceful place to be in even for just awhile.. especially for non Hindu people who doesn’t have a clue..(like me!) Most of the history of this place, one will find on YouTube since it’s very difficult to explain in my simple language. I know for sure that the materials they used to build this...
