| - Wow! Who would have ever thought that a castle would be in Toronto. Casa Loma is pure beauty and unique which makes its location special and must seen if visiting Toronto. If you are staying in the city, take the train to DuPont which is about a 30 minute train ride. Then it's like maybe 10 minute walk from the train station to the castle.
I'd recommend going up the stairs and there you can take some beautiful pictures of the castle from the outside. Picture perfect! As you enter the castle, smell the fresh and lovely tulips. Don't forget to sit by the fountain, make a wish and take more pics.
We arrived on a Sunday about 1PM and didn't have to wait too long on the line. Tickets were $25 per an adult and $20 for seniors. The price is beyond priceless and so worth it to see this beauty.
As you enter, be sure to go to the basement and check the video out to get a better understanding of the history and beautiful story behind the castle. Take your time and explore each floor and believe me you'll find yourself speechless with the artifacts left in the castle.
On the first floor, go out on the balcony and take some pictures with the CN tower and Toronto skyline. Absolutely mesmerizing! Sit in the sun and enjoy one scoop of your favorite flavor of gelato. I loved their milky chocolate!
Thereafter, slowly climb up the stairs or use the elevators to explore the meeting rooms, guest rooms, tea rooms, dinning rooms, bedrooms, paintings, sculptures, ornaments and the list goes on.
There is a little wait on the top floor which takes you to the tower.
Enjoy! I can't wait to visit again with my family!
