Exhibition GO Station is a GO Transit railway station on the Lakeshore West line between Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
The station is located west of downtown Toronto at Exhibition Place, an area of convention and exhibition venues, sports facilities, and other entertainment attractions, restaurants and nightclubs. It is also on the south side of Liberty Village, a former industrial area which has been redeveloped into a residential neighbourhood with retail and restaurants.
Although the station is widely used during the Canadian National Exhibition, other major events and destinations at the Exhibition grounds include, Ricoh Coliseum, National Trade Centre, Medieval Times, Liberty Grand, BMO Field, Ontario Place, Molson Amphitheatre and Honda Indy Toronto.
Directly in front of the station there is a connection with Toronto Transit Commission buses on Dufferin route 29C and at the nearby Exhibition Loop with 511 Bathurst and 509 Harbourfront streetcar lines.
A suggestion has been made to integrate TTC and GO Transit fares so that riders from the adjoining Liberty Village neighbourhood would not have to pay full fare again when transferring between the GO train and TTC services. This would also help to ease rush hour congestion on the 504 King streetcar.
