The price is not appropriate for the experience. The facility did not limit occupancy or traffic flow within the exhibit. It was more of a museum/gimmick experience than an actual "castle of old" display. I did go again after hours for a dinner at the restaurant and the experience was completely different without the excessive crowds. Felt much more grand, and I appreciated the ambiance so much more.

This is a very beautiful castle building but please dont compare it with the UK castles such as Warwick, Windsor. The rooms are well preserved and provide a glimpse how the people of that era lived and the things they used. The top floor is a museum with military photos and items. There are 2 staircases that can lead to the 2 towers then from the tower you can have a view of the neighborhood.

Prepare to step back in time at this gorgeous mansion that is currently an historic house museum. Located at the top of a hill, in a residential area, it’s a must see for globe trotting history buffs. Keep in mind that most of the historical artifacts were removed or auctioned off. What remains are remnants of once appointed luxury rooms and a rather good attempt at filling them with similar antiques of that era. For the curator and staff, it’s apparent that it’s a labor of love and a continued work in progress to reflect its former glory. The coolest part is that you have plenty of freedom to explore and it’s relatively easy. You are allowed to experience the rooms with a self guided option. You’re even able to access the towers and the underground tunnel that leads to the once operational stables and garage. Keep in mind that they heavily rely on wedding venues and a Halloween experience, so to make the most of your visit, call before you go. You don’t know if you don’t ask, right?

Like some other visitors, I walked into Casa Loma blindly and not really knowing what to expect or really what the history was. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten the audio so I do recommend that for those people that have a better attention span than I do. But I digress... The mansion is gorgeous and so worth exploring if you are in Toronto. I had a CityPASS and honestly thought it was worth the price of admission and then some. The architecture and interior design is really beautiful and just when you think you've seen everything, another stairway or spiral stairway appears. Lots of twists and turns within the mansion so make sure you see everything (Don't want to add any spoilers). I also wanted to extend special thank yous to Annie, Tiffany and Tziara who were so great when I bombarded them with questions! They gave me some excellent pointers and honestly, without their input, I might have missed a few features of the mansion. I highly recommend visiting!

We spent a couple of hours touring this incredible castle in Toronto. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We only had a few hours, so they told us which highlights to hit. Per their tips, we skipped the audio guide and this allowed us to see everything on our own. The history of the castle is neat, and a lot of the furnishings are original. Loved the secret tunnels!

some interesting history, nice rooms to see. Kids would enjoy tunnel. Can listen to history and room descriptions on your cell phone, which was nice. Probably 1-2 hours there, depending on how much you want to learn/listen/see.

Amazing experience! We've been to A LOT of castles...this is awesome! Seeing a "modern" castle and how technology has been integrated is super interesting. Throw in the military history and there's something for most everyone! Can't imagine this place during high season, but this seems the perfect time to visit!

This is a must see! Great history and a great Castle to visit. So many movies made here let alone the history. Secret passages and towers to climb. The gardens are beautiful. Self guided tour.

An interesting place in which you could spend half a day or more. The history and the building itself were lovely to hear about and the many "extra" places to visit like the wax works, towers, car museum and stables, not to forget the gardens all add to the visit making it a well worthwhile attraction. We spent a couple of hours there and it could have been rather more.

Their website really isn’t clear about the timing and things like that. Their “bar” closes at 3 but that was no where on the site. Didn’t even know the bar near the garden would be open because it didn’t say so on the site. I called in the morning to clarify the time for things and they have a pre recorded voicemail that doesn’t really answer questions so I went off of what was on the site and got there late for things. It was quite frustrating. It is otherwise very beautiful. I would get there early since they clearly like to close up shop by the afternoon.
