Westwood Theatre Parking Lot (Plane Spotting)

Park on the roof of the Westwood Mall parking garage and watch planes land at Pearson directly overhead — engines roaring, gear dropping. Weird, loud, and oddly spectacular. Bring snacks.

Why Visit

This is one of the wildest spots in Toronto to get up-close views of massive jets screaming in for landing, just overhead. The sheer volume and proximity make it an experience you don't get from most airport observation areas.

What Makes It Unique

Unlike official vantage points dominated by fences and distance, here you’re free to hang out on a parking garage roof with the best overhead views of Pearson arrivals. The vibe is informal and a little surreal—just cars, concrete, and planes roaring close enough to rattle your snacks.
