 Who wouldn't want to live in a
castle!?! by VeronicaG, 1 more photos
An audio guided tour took us through his palatial home where we glimpsed what life must have been like for this family in the early 20th century. A collection of military weapons really caught the attention of our ten year old grandson. He always seems to zero in on the soldier-stuff! My husband and he climbed to the tower to view the city. I stayed behind to cool myself in front of one of the fans placed strategically at the end of the hall, trying real hard not to seem a party-pooper.
Casa Loma is connected to a carriage garage and stables by an 800 foot tunnel. It was so much cooler down there! Outside, the grounds were manicured and flowers were everywhere. The castle sits on a five acre site.
Tour hours are from 9:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (the last tour being at 4pm). Gardens are open from May through October. A small cafe and gift shop are located in the lower level. NOTE: This is not a tour recommended for kids under 10. Admission fee is $12 for adults; $7.50 for seniors; $7.50 for ages 14-17; $6.75 for children 4-13. **A self-gided audio tour in 8 languages is available for $2.00

Casa Loma is Toronto's most prominent historic residence, bringing European elegance & high end living under one roof. Though it is nothing compared to any palace or castle in Europe, it is considered Toronto's prime estate. Casa Loma is complete with decorated suites, secret passages, an 800-foot tunnel, towers, stables, and beautiful 5-acre estate gardens.

 Casa Loma by coolpanda87
The outdoor architecture & landscaping is very beautiful, and it is set in a hilly area (very rare in Toronto), so the setting is very magical. The garden is a great place to relax and enjoy the flowers and fountain. The terrace offers a panoramic view of the residence grounds. Casa Loma was designed by E.J. Lennox. The castle was built with 300 men in 3 years, costing over three and a half million dollars (in 1914).
Highlights within Casa Loma include:
i) Great Hall: This is the main point of the castle. Notice the carefully crafted sculptures.
ii) The Conservatory: The floor marble is Italian but the side panels are of Ontario marble. In winter, steam pipes keep the flowers healthy.
iii) Peacock Alley: This passageway was modelled after a passageway in Windsor Castle.
iv) Sir Henry's Study: On either sides of the fireplace are secret doors.
Casa Loma was the dream home of a Toronto financier, industrialist & military man...Sir. Henry Pallett. Though he was one of Toronto's elite, he died a poor man : (
Casa Loma is open daily 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Last admission : 4:00 p.m.)
Casa Loma is now operated by Kiwanis Club Toronto.

 Casa Loma, Toronto by windsorgirl
Unfortunately for Sir Henry, Casa Loma was repossessed in the 1920's for unpaid debts. It is now owned by the City of Toronto.
You can tour the interior of Casa Loma and its 98 lavishly furnished rooms, secret passageways and turrets for about $12. Parking at the site is another $3/hr.
Casa Loma is open from 9am to 530pm daily Leave a Comment Address: 1 Austin TerraceDirections: near the intersection of Davenport and Spadina, or the Dupont subway stationWebsite: http://www.casaloma.org/

As part of the VT walking tour on Saturday, a small group of us visited Casa Loma, Sir Henry Pellatt's dream castle set atop a hill with a gorgeous view of Toronto. It took 3 years and $3.5 million to build the castle, even then it wasn't entirely finished, the swimming pool remains in it's unfinished state. In the end, Sir Henry auctioned off Casa Loma when faced with a tax bill he couldn't pay. Leave a Comment
