What's a good way to get to FanExpo in Toronto from Markham?

My brother and I live in Markham and we want to head to FanExpo in Toronto, so we were wondering, what would be a good way to head there?

GO Transit.
There's a few stops in Markham that goes to Union Station.

When I went on the Sunday last year, there were other people on the bus dressed for the event also heading to it.

+ 1 for GO Transit. Its' the easiest and basically takes you right there as it's a short walk to MTCC from Union Station.

I was wondering, I have never used Go Transit, so do I buy the tickets there or online before I take the ride? As well is it a train or a bus?

It's a train that takes you all the way downtown. You can just go to a GO station and buy a 2 way ticket there. Just ask the person at the sales booth how to get to Union Station. From Union, you can easily walk to the Convention Centre, and there's even a skyway path or you can walk outside.

How old are you OP? It's an odd question. Anyhow:

1) Drive and park
2) GO Transit (train or bus) to Union Station
3) YRT / Viva to TTC subway station (Don Mills or Finch Stn), then TTC subway down to Union Station

I don't think the train operates on the weekends, just the buses. And yes, just get off at Union, and then you can just walk over to the convention center.
Baaaaaaaaa!

The only thing I can suggest is if you plan on taking the GO bus... take some gravol first. GO Bus drivers have no chill.

I am going thursday. I check google maps and shows me a bus schedule, so should I just take the bus? Or should I see which one I can take when I head to Union station?
