Amazing experience! We were able to get through the castle in about an hour or two with 3 teenagers. There is a lot of history here in addition to the experience of the castle itself. Secret passages are open (1 in pic) access to the towers for an amazing view (pic) and a collection of antique cars in the stables (pic). In the basement there is a video on loop showing scenes from different movies that were filmed in the castle. It was really cool to watch that and then find the corresponding locations in the castle. If you are on vacation, this is a must see. For an added bonus, do one of the escape rooms too. We didn't solve Station M, but the props were top quality and it was awesome! For tickets, we purchased the day of for the self guided tour and sailed right through. For the escape room we purchased the tickets in advance.

The castle was amazing, especially considering it was built more than 100 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and appreciated the amount of history and detail presented throughout the property. The information displays were well organized, informative, and helped bring the castle's story to life. One challenge was reaching the top of the castle. The staircase is very narrow and spiral in design, making the climb somewhat difficult. I can only imagine how crowded it must become during peak visitor periods. Since the stairs are only wide enough for one person at a time going either up or down, I suspect there could be significant delays when the castle is busy. Despite this, the unique architecture and historical significance make the visit well worth the effort.

This place was so cool! I can't believe that there is something like this in Canada. I was unsure of how it would be before I entered but this place is absolutely gorgeous. The outside is magnificent and the rooms are very cool, the signs tell you all you need to know about each room and the building is very structurally sound. There are plenty of rooms and you may walk for hours (literally!) this place wasn't boring at all, there were plenty of things to explore! And the origin of this building is cool

My fiancé and I visited Casa Loma during their Christmas program and went during the daytime. It was such a great experience and really felt like stepping back in time and seeing how things used to be. The castle was beautifully decorated from top to bottom with Christmas displays, including singing animals and dancing gingerbread figures, which made it feel festive and fun without being over the top. My favorite part was the basement. It had so many interesting historic attractions, and I really enjoyed looking at the vintage cars and learning about the celebrities and movies that were filmed there. That part was very cool. After walking through the castle, it was nice to see how clean and modern the renovated restrooms were, and the food court was a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and I would definitely recommend Casa Loma, especially during the Christmas season.

Casa Loma is truly one of Toronto’s most beautiful landmarks. The castle itself is stunning, with grand architecture, elegant rooms, and breathtaking views that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a different era. Every corner has its own charm, and walking through the halls is such a unique experience. There’s also a lovely little museum inside that adds so much history and depth to the visit. It’s interesting and well-maintained, making it enjoyable even if you’re not usually into museums. You can really appreciate the story behind this iconic place. To top it all off, there’s a restaurant on-site where you can relax and take in the surroundings. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after exploring. Overall, Casa Loma is a must-visit in Toronto—beautiful, peaceful, and full of character.
