Casa Loma is a great place to visit. It's an out-of-place, but magnificent castle in the middle of Toronto, and once you step inside, you forget that you're in a bustling metropolis. Audio tours are free, so take advantage! they give you a good history of the house and lead you through the building and its beautifully restored rooms. There are also underground tunnels that lead the stables. Don't forget to wander the grounds where there are beautiful water fountains and gardens!

We then decided to head off to the big "castle" or mansion, Casa Loma. It was built by the Sir Henry Pellatt, whom the best I can describe was the Carnegie, Vanderbilt, or Hurst of Canada. Although he was not completely like them since his fortunate and his home (Casa Loma) paled in comparison to all the above… First Full Day

…attractions), the pass gave me access to Six major attractions including; The CN tower, The royal Museum, The Zoo, Hockey Hall of Fame, Casa Loma and some science centre (which i never made it to).

The museum building itself was a piece… First and I hope not my last trip to Canada

  I spent the afternoon at Casa Loma - an impressive house/castle to the north of the city.  Built by Sir Henry Pellatt at great expense, he only got to live in it for about 10 years before going broke.  It was interesting to look around & it has very… O Canada...
