About Philosopher's Walk
The Philosopher's Walk is a scenic pedestrian path on the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto, running along the valley floor shaped by Taddle Creek. The path connects the university grounds with the academic neighborhood of The Annex and passes major landmarks such as the Royal Ontario Museum, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and Trinity College. You can soak up the historic atmosphere, which is underscored by Victorian buildings and the Alexandra Gates at the northern entrance, built in 1901. This memorial commemorates the visit of Prince George and Duchess Mary. A small amphitheater, built around 2010, rounds out the picture of this quiet and culturally rich walking route in the heart of the city.
