Family Day 2025: Open and Closed Locations in Toronto

Family Day is approaching in Toronto, set to be celebrated on Monday, February 17, 2025. This holiday is a time for families to come together, but many businesses and services will be closed due to the statutory holiday. This year, the holiday coincides with the aftermath of a winter storm, bringing more snow into the forecast. On Family Day, several public services will not be available. Ontario government services, schools in Toronto, major banks, and public libraries will be closed. Grocery stores and liquor outlets such as LCBO and The Beer Store will also be closed, so it's best to check local stores for their specific holiday hours. However, not everything will be shut down. The Eaton Centre shopping mall will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Public transit services will operate on modified schedules, with GO Transit running a Saturday schedule and the TTC following a holiday timetable. Many local attractions and museums will welcome visitors, including the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, and the Toronto Zoo, which will host special Family Day activities. Community centers and outdoor facilities will also be open, offering various recreational activities. Families are encouraged to check the individual websites of local attractions and services for specific operating hours and events on this special day. Make the most of Family Day this February by planning ahead and enjoying the variety of activities available in Toronto!
