An early 20th century historical mansion built by Canadian financier Henry Pellatt who ultimately lost most of his fortune due to the ever-increasing socialist mood of the country.
Audio/video tour headsets guide you through the many rooms that give a glimpse of what money bought back in the early 1900's. It was an extremely hot day and attendees experienced what life was like without air conditioning. Every room has interesting relics from Pellatt's art collection.
The "house on the hill" is a prime location for weddings. Flower gardens, water fountains, and nice-looking shrubs add to the allure of Casa Loma. The a/v guides give a comprehensive personal history of Sir Henry Pellatt while presenting the architecture and interior design features of the time.
History buffs will not be disappointed. May be a challenge with the kids though.
