How Kids-Friendly is Casa Loma?

77%Kids-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 77% Kids-Friendly: Kids enjoy secret passages, 800-ft tunnel, and car stable, but many staircases, no hands-on play, and weapon displays require supervision, so expect fatigue after about three hours.

Beautiful area with lots to see about this historical building. Visitor guide via QR code will provide audio explanation for lots of the room and special features.

Some higher levels will require walkin...

When is the best time to visit Casa Loma (Toronto, Canada)?

In summer bring sunhats for the open gardens. In fall enjoy crisp color views but dress warmly for tower climbs. Winter’s greenhouse offers a warm break among blooming plants.
