The Office Experience Hits Toronto: Is It Worth It?

THE OFFICE EXPERIENCE HITS TORONTO
The day has finally come, The Office Experience has arrived in Toronto and I was lucky enough to visit this weekend. Let’s get into my thoughts!
First of all, what is The Office Experience? The Office Experience is an exhibit showcasing set recreations, photo ops, costumes and props from the beloved show The Office (2005-2013). This experience is traveling around North America, and has just landed in Toronto.
MY THOUGHTS - VERY FUN
So I chose to go in pretty blind, and had no idea what to expect! I have previously done the Friends Experience when it was in Toronto and loved that. I expected large set pieces, and photo-ops, but I was not ready for the level of detail that the Office Experience offered. Where The Friends Experience was essentially a series of staged sets organized for the guests to get their optimum photo ops. The Office Experience took this concept and executed it on a grander scale.
Guests can walk through a 1:1 recreation of Dunder Mifflin, where they are encouraged to sit at their favorite character's desks, take photos, and spot the hundreds of easter eggs hidden amongst the set. Iconic locations like Michael Scott’s office, Pam’s Desk, the confessional room, the kitchen and so much more are all set up, ready for you to recreate your favorite scenes.
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. ”
In addition to the Dunder Mifflin office spaces, guest can walk though exhibits of costumes and props from the show. Even the Dundie Awards on on display. But one of my favourite souvenirs was the official employee badge! Make sure you do this on your way out, because it comes with the cost of your tickets.
YES, A MUST FOR FANS
This is obviously a big recommendation from me. Especially if you are an Office fan. Check out The Office Experience at Yorkdale Mall from March 2023 - June 2023. And don't forget to check their website to see if The Office Experience is traveling to a city near you.
