  • In my family, it was known as the Cake House. I moved to Phoenix in 1992, and this building has always been a point of curiosity for me. Imagine my delight to discover that it is now available for tours! It must be a delight for lots of people since tours are fully booked until next year. The visitor center is clean and entirely operated by volunteers. There is a short introductory video and then you're taken on a golf cart out to the expansive grounds of the castle. The tour is limited to only the main floor and basement of the actual building, and a series of loops around the cactus gardens that surround the property. Unfortunately this means no access to the cupola at the top of the castle, which is really a shame. We were told this is due to building codes and accessibility issues. I was quite disappointed not to see these areas, especially when the price for a tour is $15, I felt that there should have been more of the building to see. They do have an iPad hooked up with a panoramic view of the upper floors, but obviously that isn't quite as cool as getting to see it for yourself. For the most part, I felt that the tour guides were well informed about the history of the building and surrounding property, and it was fun to learn a bit about old timey Phoenix. I appreciate that tours are available, but I do wish they were a bit more extensive. Our guide mentioned they hope to offer garden tours in the future, but I'm personally more interested in architecture. I do recommend a visit to Tovrea Castle, since it is a unique opportunity to see such a prominent landmark up close.
