E	Erica R on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited as part of the City Pass on a Sunday in April. It was not too busy, and lots of things to look at - we were there for more than 3 hours! A lot of reading to really get the most out of the exhibits, but they do offer handheld audio tours for no charge. Such a beautiful place, we want to come back when the garden is in full bloom!
C	Chi P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bigger than I expected. We spent more time here than what we originally planned because there are a lot to explore. The tunnel leading to a different property caught us by surprise but it was worth the walk! The Princess Diana exhibit was also nice. The kids really enjoyed going up the tower where one of the escape games is held. Definitely worth a visit when going to Toronto. Pro tip: Buy the City Pass tour online so you can bundle the attractions and save $$$
Z	Zackary Conte on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The castle is such a beautiful place to visit! There is so much history behind it and there is still so much beauty to the castle inside and out! I recommend climbing to the top of the castle through the attic because at the top you can have an amazing view of the city and is a great spot to get some photos!
A	Ashley McKenzie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a lovely afternoon high tea. Servers were very attentive and helpful with my Grandmother who required some accommodations. Dining room was well appointed with a lovely backdrop of live classical violin. Slightly loud, however that speaks to its popularity. Appreciated the passes to explore the castle/exhibits included with the cost of dining. Will certainly return to experience some of the other events/restaurants - namely the Italian restaurant which looks positively beautiful!
C	Christopher Roth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was our first visit to this attraction we tried to make a day out of it and were fairly successful. The weather really prevented us from touring the grounds though. I would say it takes around 4-5 hours to explore the entire place. We really enjoyed touring, going up to the towers (spiral staircases!!!!), and enjoying a bite to eat in the cafe. A must do is to watch the film in the basement theatre which sits in what would have been the swimming pool. There could have been more placards with more information. The third flour exhibit might not be for everyone but it was interesting. I would not recommend bringing children, just doesn’t seem suited for them when everything says “don’t touch or sit”. The staff were not that plentiful and the ones we spoke to were polite albeit not very interactive, as if this was just a “job” to them. The friendliest person was the cafe host. The food was excellent! Overall a good experience but an attraction that could be next level with some more attention to the end experience.
A	Ali Safdel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ More than the castle and its architecture, I enjoyed the history of the castle presented in a documentary movie in the basement. So, be sure to check that out which is included in your ticket. Another perk is that you get audio guide devices which were very cool. The ones that we got did not have headphones so you had to hold them like you are speaking on the phone, but I saw some other people with devices having headphones. The most enjoyable part of the experience was that there are 2 towers that you had to climb very narrow stairs to reach the top. They were decorated and designed for escape room game purposes which was fun to see. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
A	APH (Veela_girl) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Truly a beautiful space! It's a Gothic Revival style mansion and house museum with beautiful grounds during the summer. I can imagine weddings at this place! To get to the highest levels you have to take some very narrow stairs and if you are able to, it's totally worth going to the top. You will see amazing views of the surrounding areas! Can't wait to return here someday when things are back to normal, or as close to normal as possible!
M	Michale Orellana on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A visual treat with the whole palace decorated band lit up for Christmas. A variety of talented artists have decorated the rooms. The whole walk around the Casa Loma palace will take a good three hours if you want to see everything in detail and climb up to the towers. The pathway to stables was illuminated well and the video displays on the walls were delightful especially of the Gingerbread men. There was a magic show on the gardens. A truly enjoyable experience.
