This is a small castle left over from a business/knight that later went bankrupt. I only had an hour to go through the castle (it closes at 5pm), so I didn't use the audioguides, which are free. And there is not much information posted anywhere, so if you want an educational experience, as opposed to just looking at the building... More

The walking tour of Casa Loma was wonderful The Audio tour is great I've never seen or heard that before. It gives you the freedom to go anywhere especially if you want to avoid the groups of young (loud) school kids Parking on site is reasonable $ Price to get in is $20/adult which was OK Has several rooms of...

I guess I have seen too many mansions and other such homes; this site was nice but nothing outstanding. The grounds are pretty; go in late spring thru early fall, to see the various gardens. There is a little cafe with an adequate amount of foods to keep one from starving until you get back to the restaurants of Toronto.... More

Well worth the visit;ok this building has undergone major renovation, but so what! With a bit of patience - the audio guide can be circonvoluted at times- you will learn about the life of a major figure of Toronto and discover much about the city's own 20c history in the process. I would recommend watching the introductory film if you... More

Ok so what? This castle is pretty old from the early 1800's. Not sure. But... I can tell you there are alot of things to see. Secret tunnels, Horse Stables, Towers, Well maintained Bedrooms. Sometimes there are activities there like dances, proms. Very Very Cool. I recommend it! :D More

Last time I visited Casa Loma was around 25 years ago. May 10, 2012 I accepted the invitation to attend a party to see this miracle castle build in the 'middle' of the city Toronto. I was amazed by the changes not done indoor and outdoor, a place where you will forget for the moment you are in the city.... More

This is a medieval castle built in the early 1900's as a home. It is magnificent. Make sure you go into the tower and go ALL the way to the top for an amazing view of the city. Don't miss the underground tunnel to the stables. No elevators, so it is not wheelchair nor stroller friendly. More
