Hi guys, this is a Toronto walk filmed in the campus area of the University of Toronto filmed on July 27 2020. The university of Toronto campus sprawls across 180 acres in central Toronto, and contains many beautiful buildings with architecture from the last century.
My walk around the campus starts off at the Queen's Park subway station, and we hit the surface level at University Ave and College Street. From there I walked west on College street, eventually getting to King's College road where I headed into the campus.
From there I took several twists and turns, exploring the campus. I did some narration in this video, and will be returning to the U of T location at a later time to do some more Toronto 4k videos in areas I hadn't filmed in this one.
Thanks for watching!

Haha, maybe it was. Who knows lol
Oh wow! Thank you for considering my request. This takes me way back to my university days. U of T is such a beautiful campus especially during the summer months. It was amazing to stand at the center of the front campus field and turn around 360 degrees to view all the historical buildings e.g. University College Building, Convocation Hall, Hart House, etc. Wow, I’m still in awe of this place. So grand. Thanks again for the walk through.
You’re welcome, glad that it helps bring back memories for you! That field is all torn up right now, they’re working on making it even nicer so I’ll go check it out when it’s completed 🙂
? Great narration. I enjoyed seeing the mix of old and new buildings. You mentioned that it is a very big campus and I have to agree. Thanks for taking us around. – H
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Definitely one of my favourite walk & talks. What a beautiful area in the midst of our very large city. Also noticed how clean everything looks. Thanks for taking us along.
@Jo Ann Lynn ? awesome!!! Yes it’s so peaceful there currently, definitely worth checking out! Thanks for watching Jo Ann!
@My Walk Around Yes I have but it’s been awhile. You’ve inspired me to head downtown and enjoy it up close. Thanks again
Thanks Jo Ann! Glad you enjoyed it, and yes it is a great area with amazing looking buildings with a lot of history. It’s nice to get down there and just take a walk, have you been down there in person at all?

“It sounds scientific though and cool” – one of the highlights of your walks!! When you were describing what the uni dept does it sounded like you were an expert! Great walk – thanks, Mark

Good job….my only point I’d that the next time try to focus the information in any building and give people time to read
@Antony Villena cool, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks !
@My Walk Around exactly..u too thanks ?
Thanks for the input Antony! Do you mean focus more on the signs on the buildings that are posted in the walls and buildings?
My Alma Mater 1979. University School. Great stately lunch hall. Too bad it is very cold in the winter to walk from building to building.
Beautiful architectures and scenery
Thanks for the tour
You’re welcome 🙂
hi. What are those wooden structures around the trees? at 13:46
It’s hoarding to protect the trees because front campus is currently undergoing landscaping/construction. Search “University of Toronto Landmark Project” for more information. 🙂
I think those were just put in place to keep people off the ground around that area. Possibly some landscaping was done directly near the trees, and they want to protect it for now?
have a nice day
Thanks! You too 🙂
54:21 59:40 where lasers meet liquid nitrogen. At least that’s what I did as a kid with a father as a Prof.
Cool! That must have been fun as a kid- to see lasers and all that stuff. Did you ever do anything crazy in the lab? Like create a new element like Iron Man did?
