Many people are unaware that Mean Girls was actually filmed in Canada, despite the fact that the story is set in Chicago. Some of the most important sequences are shot in Toronto, and you’ll recognize a lot of the locations when you watch the movie.
If you’re around Canada or just a die-hard Mean Girls fan, you can certainly wear pink and walk where The Plastics and Cady Heron was walked before:
Sherway Gardens
Location: 25 The West Mall, Etobicoke, ON M9C 1B8, Canada
Are you a bonafide Mean Girls fan if you’ve never pulled up alongside your buddies and shouted, “Get in, loser, we’re going shopping?” Well, you’ll need to travel to Sherway Gardens to truly replicate the moment where the plastics take Cady to the mall for the first time.
Regina’s House
Location: 11 High Point Rd, North York, ON M3B 2A3, Canada
Bring out your cameras and pretend to be Regina George in front of this opulent mansion! Fun fact: The actual cost of this home was $14.8 million.
Etobicoke Collegiate Institute
Location: 86 Montgomery Rd, Etobicoke, ON M9A 3N5, Canada
Etobicoke Collegiate Institute is featured at least twice in the film since the outside of the building is used as the high school that the entire story is centered around.
Where to stay: The Doubletree by Hilton Toronto Airport is a totally fetch accommodation to stay in in the heart of Toronto, Canada
