Photobooths in Toronto cluster in a few places: the Ossington and Queen West strip, the King West bar district, a couple of food halls, the Korean photo studios along Bloor West and Yonge, and a handful of malls across the GTA. Below is every booth we could confirm from recent public listings, grouped by neighbourhood, with the type of booth and the price where one was reported. Booths move and prices change, so treat this as a starting point and check before you make a special trip.
We checked these against recent listings from local media and photo booth directories in the summer and fall of 2026. If you spot one we missed, or one that is gone, tell us and we will update the list.
Ossington, Queen West and Dundas West
Uncle Studios, 46 Ossington Ave.
An analog booth in one of Toronto’s best nightlife strips. Real chemical strips, the slightly grainy look people chase, and a line on weekends. Reported price: about $10.
The Drake Hotel, 1150 Queen St. W.
A Queen West institution with a booth that has been part of nights out for years. Reported at $5 for two strips, which makes it one of the better deals in the city.
Penny Arcade Vintage, 1177 Dundas St. W.
A vintage shop with a decades-old analog booth inside. It used to take coins and now takes cards. Reported price: around $8 a strip.
King West and the Entertainment District
Cherry’s High Dive, 488 Wellington St. W.
A digital booth in a bar, the classic pre-game or last-call photo. Reported at $5 a strip.
Harriet’s Rooftop at 1 Hotel Toronto, 550 Wellington St. W.
A rooftop bar booth with a view on the way out. Reported at $9 a session.
SPIN Toronto, 461 King St. W., and Vinny, 480 King St. W.
Two King West spots with booths on site, a ping pong bar and a restaurant, both easy to fold into a night already planned in the area.
Coffee, Oysters, Champagne, 214 King St. W.
A dressier King West room with a digital booth, popular for birthdays and date nights.
Food halls and downtown
Waterworks Food Hall, 50 Brant St.
An analog booth inside a food hall, which makes it one of the easiest booths to visit with a group or kids. Reported price: about $10.
Chefs Hall, 111 Richmond St. W.
A downtown food hall with a booth, handy for an office lunch crowd photo.
Sonic Boom, 215 Spadina Ave.
A record store booth that, at last report, still took two toonies in cash. Bring coins.
Steam Whistle Brewery and The Image Centre
Two booths listed by photo booth directories: one at the brewery by the Roundhouse, known for black and white film strips, and one at the photography gallery on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus.
Korean photo studios
Self-serve photo studios, imported from Korea, have their own following. You book or walk in, pose in a small studio with props, and print a frame in seconds. Toronto’s best known are Life4Cut at 584 Yonge St. and 645 Bloor St. W., and Photoism at 607 Bloor St. W. in Koreatown. Monography, with locations near Bloor and in North York, is a studio-style option that prints larger formats. If you want to understand the difference between these and a classic booth, our post on Korean photo studios versus vintage booths breaks it down.
Malls across the GTA
Two malls list a photo booth as a store: Hello Photo Booth at Square One in Mississauga and a Marvel-themed photo booth at Scarborough Town Centre. Both keep mall hours.
Why Toronto has so few booths
For a city this size, the list is short. Map them and the pattern is obvious: nearly all of them cluster downtown and in the west end, while big stretches of the GTA have none. That is a gap, and it is the reason SmileMore is now placing booths in Toronto venues.
SmileMore puts real walk-in booths into bars, restaurants, campuses and entertainment venues at no cost to the venue. We own and maintain the machine, guests tap to pay, and the host business collects a cut of each session. As new SmileMore booths go live in Toronto, we will add them to this list.
SmileMore started in South Florida. Our Nova Southeastern University booth logged over 300 paid sessions in its first month, and a second one runs at Hausmash in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida. Our NSU case study walks through a placement step by step. You can also see what we are planning for photo booths in Toronto venues.

How much does a photo booth cost in Toronto? Reported prices on this list run from a couple of toonies to about $10 a strip, depending on the booth and whether it is analog or digital.
