Even if you don’t typically seek out castles during your vacation, you'll appreciate the atmosphere and grandeur of Casa Loma when you take a walk along the winding paths through the 5 acres of beautiful gardens surrounding the mansion. Like many big cities that have an old mansion or castles in an unassuming neighborhood, Toronto is no exception.

Tucked away in the corner of residential downtown is the very unique Casa Loma, dripping with old world charm and an intriguing story or two. Step back in time in this romantic historic mansion, where a self-guided tour allows you to view any of the 98 elegantly decorated rooms and 2 stately towers and explore secret passageways.

Casa Loma has an 800-foot underground tunnel going to its horse stables. Casa Loma is open daily all year around; it is owned by The City of Toronto and has been operated by The Kiwanis Club of Casa Loma, a charitable organization, since 1937.
