Canada's majestic castle and Toronto’s premier historic attraction.
In 1911, Sir Henry Pellatt engaged noted architect
E.J. Lennox to help him realize a lifelong dream,the
creation of an Edwardian castle on the top of a hill
overlooking Toronto. It took 300 men nearly three
years to complete the nearly to 200,000 square foot
castle at a cost $3,500,000 (at the time). Situated on
5 acres, Casa Loma was the largest private residence in
Canada. Sir Henry Pellatt with his wife Lady Mary enjoyed
Casa Loma for less than ten years before financial
misfortune forced him to abandon his home.
The tour of the castle is self-guided. Visitors can
experience the castle at their leisure with the aid of
multimedia audio guides.

We went with a group and everyone could go at their own pace since there were handheld audios. There is so much to see and hear on this tour! We enjoyed having lunch in the grounds too.

Food and music were Ok but we came to dine in Casa Loma to hear and see more about this Palace. It was a pity that nobody would explain and show us around

We went early to beat the crowds and were glad we did as they also do weddings. By 11am there was a crowd of people blocking most of the exhibits on the first floor. don't forget to walk thru the tunnels but wear comfortable shoes

We enjoyed a visit to Casa Loma, it was however full of school groups shouting and screaming along the corridors. It would be nice to have security or ushers in areas to keep the atmosphere calmer.

Case Loma is such a beautiful place, though as I live in the UK these types of places are two to a penny, so I should be grateful to have such a great history. Cass loma looks old but doesn't have the feel of smell of something that has stood for many hundreds of years. The car museum is fascinating... More

My husband and I weren't thrilled with this tour. The staff is friendly but the tickets are $20 per person and parking is $10. There was a lot to see which is why I gave it 3 stars but we weren't impressed.

The conservatory alone is worth a visit. The room is huge, sunny, marble and remarkable. But then there's the library which I thought, at first, was a ballroom, the views from the back veranda, the two master suites (his and hers) the study with the hidden staircases and much more. This is a nice way to envision a different era,... More

A very unusual castle. Make sure you don't miss the views from the towers! We had a nice snack lunch but were a little annoyed that we were refused tap water.

My wife and I visited recently and my wife is so in love with this castle. It takes you back in time and make you wonder the lifestyle these people enjoyed. Beautiful spot for wedding pictures as well.

We fell in love with the casa's architecture and even more, the pieces of history that is within it's walls. We also watched the short film on the life the castle's owner, Sir Henry Pellatt and his wife, Lady Mary. I think of his love for his wife how it is an everlasting love. Casa Loma is an architectural, historical... More
