February 28, 2023 – During the unofficial transition from winter to spring, March is the month that offers so many awesome activities in Ontario. ToDoOntario.com has loads of March Break events, giveaways and more. March is a special time in Ontario, not only because of the Break (although, who doesn’t love a holiday?) but also because it’s Maple Syrup season!

“We love to highlight Maple Season on the website and across our social channels because it’s a truly Canadian experience,” says Jeanine Jankowski, owner, ToDoOntario, “Ontario produces over one million litres of maple syrup a year – and Canada is the world leader in maple production, supplying 80% of the world’s syrup! Maple season is a great way to educate your kids about the environment and food production, in a super yummy and fun way.”

The Office Experience Is Coming To Toronto

Remember Kevin Malone’s famous chili spill? It does not have to live rent-free in your head anymore if you can make your way to Toronto from March 3 to June 4, 2023. The Office Experience Toronto will be a reality for fans and visitors alike.

What To Expect From The Office Experience Toronto-Themed Attraction

Get ready to celebrate your favorite show in person. Explore the recreated Dunder Mifflin Inc., complete with the original setup, props, and costumes. Sit at Michael Scott’s desk and relive his cringe and goofy moments. Re-enact Pam’s reception scenes, view Ryan’s closet, or spill Kevin’s chili.

The experience goes beyond the setup inside the office. You can also step outside the Pennsylvania branch paper company. Visit Scranton Business Park and take photos of the company’s business sign.

You also get to walk down the aisle at Pam and Jim’s wedding venue or re-enact the dance scenes of your favorite actors. Visit Schrute Farms and relive Pam and Jim’s delightfully awkward stay at Dwight’s bed and breakfast. Aside from recording your videos and snapping a couple of photos to memorize the experience, there will be a themed replica retail store onsite selling exclusive items for ticketed and non-ticketed guests.

Add The Office Experience to Your List of Things To Do in Toronto

If you are touring Toronto and need items to fill up your itinerary, The Office Experience is a must-see. You do not need to be an ardent fan of the show to enjoy the venture. The themed recreation showcases the renowned series in a grandiose, captivating, engaging, and interactive way enough to capture anyone’s attention.

There is extensive detail about the making of the legendary series, highlighting moments that made it a sensation and the brilliant work behind its success. You also get to see what constitutes a set life, the elements that make a show feel like real life and create life-long memories simultaneously.
