Casa Loma Review

Went in for the legends of Horror with my husband and best friend. The boyfriend from the couple in front of us got so scared at a jump scare that he punched the actor in the face. They both started yelling at each other and security had to escort him out. The other actors really stopped trying after that and I agree with the other review, everyone is too close to each other to expect anything when you see whatevers going to happen to you happen to the person infront of you..what a waste of money.

It's a great place to take photos and take a tour plus it's a awesome place to have parties and weddings, so come on down to have some fun with friends and family. Also remember to bring kids cause they like or love castles where Kings and Queens who used to be royal back then and now a favorite to tourist to admire the natural daycore, the foundation and who respect they they're royal ancestry or ancestral families and loved ones.

Beautiful from the outside, but too expensive for my taste to enter and explore the historical treasure that lay inside its walls. Wonderful view of downtown from the garden.

Historic property that has beautiful craftsmanship to view like an art museum. Can only be seen to appreciate

It is a very nic place to visit. You can spend hours there without getting bored.

had a wedding here, they have no control over anything especially parking, we had a parking lot reserved for our wedding and the security turned them away and people kept walking into the wedding = what a nightmare 1/5 stars do NOT do your wedding here

An absolute gem and a must to visit in Toronto. Don't forget to watch the documentry before exploring as it gives you the history behind the building and connects you to it. Also don't miss the underground tunnels and the beautiful view on the roof.

Really beautiful place. Not do far Form town Toronto.

Very interesting. Audio guide is a must. Visit the tunnel and the stables

Great place for mystery night games and tours of the 'castle'

Nice place for a half a day of relaxed outing on a weekend. The view from the balcony is great. Make it to the topmost point of Casa Loma to have a good downtown view.

One to avoid. Of all the tourist attractors Toronto has to offer, I would give this a miss. It s overpriced, the audio guides are old and poorly narrated, there are decaying exhibits that makes you wonder why you paid an entire $30. Save your time and money and instead go to the CN tower for spectacular views, the ROM and AGO for culture and art and the bata shoe museum for something quirky.

Casa Loma certainly stands out, a small Castle in Toronto. The building and grounds are well maintained, the gardens are lovely and the view of Toronto is spectacular, day and night. My last visit there was for a private function and it was a great place and layout with lots of space for a large party. I can imagine it being a very nice location for a wedding. It is located away from the city core, restaurants and other things to do/see and access by public transit isn't great either.It's worth a visit although it's not a place I would go to regularly unless I had out of town visitors or kids, in terms of going to it as a museum.

Antique Car show is an asset. The royalty ammuses as usual. Strawler accessibility is very limited. Otherwise a must place to visit.

Nice castle to visit on a lazy afternoon. It was a very relaxing experience for me. Try to get the deal with the CityPass, it is worth it.

Very interesting place, excellent for photos with different sceneries, indoor and outdoor. A lot of history and architecture too. The upper floors aren't for every crowd because of the narrow corridors and the circular old stairs, but the landscape view is amazing.
We went with my three years old son and we discovered the place isn't very kids-friendly.

Amazing place and history, the audio guide helps a lot and is worth using. Several places worthy of photo, including when climbing the towers. When I went I was having a wedding, but the visitation was not limited by that. The prices of the souvenir shop are very high. I recommend visiting also the Mussum spadina, which is very close (pay attention to the guide schedules)

i was there as a 9 or 10 year old in the late 70s and again this past week with my kids. if you've been on similar tours in europe or south america, it's nowhere near as interesting, and not just because the place is not yet a century old. for the most part, you'll simply witness how the local outrageously wealthy lived in their day. links to local history are few and barely underscored, although the tunnel photo exhibit offers some rather interesting (but unrelated) insights into toronto history. why hide it in a tunnel though? ppl just walk right by!.

The castle is very pretty, and has great views of the city

We enjoyed walking around the property, the higher floors have great views of the Toronto skylines and the secret passages are great places to steal kisses from your bae.

Pleasantly surprised. Went with a group of teenagers from China and there was an audioguide available for them to help explain what they were seeing in each room, tower, stables, and garage. Only spent an hour there, but can spend more time if you're interested in history. Those without the audioguide were finished quickly.

Absolutely stunning, must visit! The tunnel was my favourite.

It's a very nice piece of history but I wish the staff would have informed us so much of it was closed prior to purchasing tickets.

It's a bit expensive, but if you need to see a castle I guess this is it.

Awesome haunted house again this year always look forward to coming here!

It's a Victorian castle by one of army general Sir Henry Pellatt also a great business visionary of Toronto. It was built in 1914 . It also hosts private events.

An amazing looking building, accompanied by an amazing story. Apparently 98 rooms, and 3 secret passages (one of which has never been found), but many of the rooms seem to be given over to administration or storage and so not open to view. The information presented on-site doesn't give a significant impression of ostentatiousness, but to build a personal home of such proportions, and needing around 40 staff to run, nonetheless feels way over the top. One is left to wonder how amazing the views from the building would have been before the skyline became so characterised by skyscrapers, and what the inside may have looked like before it was left to decay.

A beautiful place rich in history. A must see when visiting Toronto.

Nice place to visit. Lots to see and transport links are very close. Overall a nice day out.

The Legends of Horror was very well crafted in terms of set design, but it was not as scary as I had hoped because there weren't enough live actors. I expected to be scared around every corner but felt disappointed to just see mechanical monsters.

Overpriced but neat. The audio tour was surprisingly good and the staff very nice. This is a cool building with a lot of history and it totally worth checking out of you are visiting Toronto or passing through.

Educational and beautiful castle. Another nice place to visit in Toronto

I participated in Legend of horror. Absolutely loved the horror walk! First half was so well done that it gave the chills and screams multiple times (and I do not find myself to be easy to scare). At midpoint you can watch trailers to upcoming movie Justice League and order drinks. Sadly second half was not that good as the first one but it did not really matter because I was still recovering from previous horrors that we have seen. It took 40 minutes to finish the whole walk plus 10 minutes watching trailers. Overall I highly recommend! Worth every dollar.

Was not on our priority list for Toronto but so happy we came. Now here's a palace/ castle I would not mind living in. More than 20 big movies were shot here. Loved the lack of symmetry, secret passageways, corridors, fabulous stately rooms and cosy bedrooms. Not a castle of a king but of simply an outrageously rich 20th century man. It really has it's own soul.

admission is overpriced but worth it to visit once if you are in Toronto.

Beautiful place to wonder and learn the history of the Toronto area. Well worth the visit.

Amazing castle! Step to the top of the tower; gives a great view of the Toronto skyline. Adult ticket is $30 inclusive of taxes. The audio guide is very helpful for the tour. we have good day here, Loved it!

Just gorgeous, the audio tour was great but I wish we had a live tour guide. Beautiful Castle in the middle of the city. Must visit.

My husband and I have traveled throughout Europe and South America and had no idea that such a beautiful castle was right next door. We visited today with no expectations but were pleasantly surprised to learn about an incredible entrepreneur who had the first electric car and envisioned harnessing hydro electric power by
using the power of the water over
Niagara Falls. His wife was the first Commissioner for Guides in Canada and during her time, increased the number of Guides from 250 to over17, 000. What a power couple!!!!
The audio tours were informative and very user friendly. You could listen to as much or as little as you liked.
The Castle itself was a testament to the imagination of Sir Henry Pellatt. The furnishings were beautiful. The rooms majestic! The wine cellar to die for! A surprise around every corner. There is even an 800 foot tunnel under the road leading to his original house which is called the Hunting Lodge and includes stables and a garage. Even the servants were well looked after.
We plan to return for a visit in the summer to enjoy the outside and the beautiful gardens.

Have been for some shows they have in the garden and on tour as well. Nice historic place with lots to see. Enjoy walking around there and learning about the castle. Nice garden area as well. Fun place during Halloween

Beautiful castle with antique objects. Good bar. Spend 2~3h

Loved taking photos of the structure. Will schedule another visit this Friday.

Did the "escape room" and had a blast. Not overly difficult but definitely needed some help from the characters involved. Was a great time as a team building activity.

Beautiful view of the city from the Towers. Parking is not free, but it is there and close.

Definitely worth the cost of the tickets to see this place! I personally would recommend budgeting at least 3 hours to see everything this place has to offer.

Great experience. Great place for photos and interesting history.

I really enjoyed visiting Casa Loma. I was amazed with the outside and inside . The room design. My favorite was the pink room with the pink couch. The hidden garden was a little paradise jungle. Be prepared to go up and down lots of stairs. Overall it was worth it.

A house with a climate of mystery. This is the impression we have when visiting their rooms. Super beautiful and has already been scene of some movies. Worth checking out.

Great place to visit. Lots to see. Love the whole castle infrastructure as well as the gardens and outside terraces. They did a good job of keeping the history without making it too touristy. Access to lots of areas and a nice little video to introduce Henry and mary
Excellent handheld commentary device and I like that they were cleaned after someone used them.

Iconic Toronto tourist attraction. Go early as crowds can be intense and A/C is limited. Definitely recommend starting in the basement first to pick up fee audio tour.

Waiters rip you off so never listen to what they suggest never

Beyond beautiful will definitely have to go again!

Beautiful downtown venue with parking. The escape games were fun.

went to the haunted house. It was a lot of fun and everything was so well done. but be ready for a long line.

Beautiful palace to visit. It takes you to the old times. Rich history and a must visit in Toronto.

A great tourist attraction during the summer or winter.

Nice piece of history, some of the contents are from more recent history.

Standard museum. Basement is more interesting. Not worth the $30. Apparently there's an escape room there though and it seems like a fancy wedding venue.

Great place to visit. Definitely historically significant to Ontario. Make sure to do the secret tunnel to the stables. Beautiful architecture. The movie was a little too long. Most expensive parking we came across in Toronto.

An impressive place that receives millions of people every year. In autumn it is the best time to visit it, good weather and it is not crowded. The best that the explanation you can receive it in your native language, that you do need at least 2 hours to visit the most important places, if you are going to do the complete tour it will be 4 to 6 hours.

A really great peek into the life of the rich in the Edwardian era. Lots and lots to see and explore. Get the audio guide!

A great piece of Canada / Ontario / Toronto History. It is nice to go around Christmas as it is decorated inside and you can see Santa and court is decorated with amazing lights. But I don't think outside of the garage is open. In the summer you get to see outside of the garage which you realize how huge and amazing this place really is. We didn't know that until we were walking by this past summer.

Barely anything seems to be original. Not even the walls. Good view of the city. Nice garden
