VT Insider Tip

Sunday is kids day with cheaper admission and more family programming. Saturday is the busiest — go Friday for the best celebrity photo-op availability.

About

Toronto Comicon is the spring counterpart to Fan Expo, focusing on comics, sci-fi, horror, and pop culture. More intimate than its mega-event sibling, it's where you actually get to meet creators and browse without being crushed by 100,000 people.

What to Expect

Three days of comic vendors, celebrity guests, cosplay, panels, and artist alley. Smaller and more focused than Fan Expo but still draws major guests.

Pro Tips

Bring cash for artist alley purchases. Many indie creators don't take card. Budget $50-100 for comics and prints if you're a collector.

Getting There

Metro Toronto Convention Centre at Front and Simcoe. Union Station is a 5-minute walk. Avoid driving — convention centre parking is $30+.
