The Power Plant: A Contemporary Art Oasis in Toronto

Getting There

• Subway

  If you are near a subway station, head to the nearest Line 1 (Yonge-University) station and take the train towards Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. Transfer at Union Station to the GO Transit or UP Express if necessary. Once you arrive at Union Station, exit the station, and follow the signs to the waterfront. You will want to walk west along Front Street until you reach Lower Simcoe Street. Continue walking south until you reach Queens Quay W. The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery will be on your left at 231 Queens Quay W.

• Streetcar

  If you prefer to take a streetcar, head to the nearest streetcar stop on the 509 Harbourfront or 510 Spadina line. Board the streetcar and ride it to Queens Quay W. Get off at the stop nearest to The Power Plant, which is at 231 Queens Quay W. The gallery is located directly along the waterfront, and you can easily spot it from the streetcar stop.

• Walking

  If you're close to the waterfront or in downtown Toronto, you can simply walk to The Power Plant. Head towards the water at Queens Quay W. If you're starting at Nathan Phillips Square, walk south on Bay Street or University Avenue until you reach Front Street. Turn left on Front Street and walk towards the waterfront, then turn right onto Queens Quay W. The gallery will be along the waterfront at 231 Queens Quay W.

• Bicycle

  If you have access to a bicycle, Toronto has many bike lanes that can take you to the waterfront. You can ride along the Martin Goodman Trail, which runs parallel to the waterfront. Head towards the Queens Quay area, and when you reach 231 Queens Quay W, you will find bike racks available near The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery.
