Welcome to Hipfig's video guide series on
Toronto. In this video we'll be
discussing how to get to Casa Loma and
what to do once you get there.
Casa Loma is the former home of Sir
Henry Mill Pellatt, a prominent figure in
Toronto in the early nineteen hundreds
It's a great spot to view the city
Casa Loma is located at 1
1 Austin Terrace, Toronto. The most
convenient way to get to Casa Loma is by
the TTC subway or bus. By the subway take
the Yonge- University line and exit at
Dupont station. Exit Dupont station at
Spadina Ave. Walk north two blocks
on Spadina Ave
You'll keep walking on Spadina Ave
until you get to Davenport Road. From
there, you'll walk up the Baldwin steps
which is a 110 steps up or
you can walk up the hill on the west
side of the castle (Casa Loma)
another option is to take the Yonge
University line and exit at Spadina
station. At Spadina station get a paper
transfer from the red transfer box (for the bus)
before you exit the station. From
Spadina station, transfer and take the
Davenport 127 bus to Davenport road and
Spadina Ave. Exit the bus at Davenport and
Spadina Ave and climb the Baldwin steps or
take the bus one stop further to
Davenport and Walmer and walk up the
hill on the west side of the castle (Casa Loma).
Casa Loma (aka: castle) is open daily from
9:30a.m. to 5 p.m.. Last admission is at
4:30 p.m. and it is closed on
Christmas Day. You can purchase tickets
at the ticket counter but to avoid lines
consider purchasing online if you know
the day of your visit. To save money
consider purchasing a multi attraction
card like Citypass Toronto. The Citypass
is a really good deal if you intend to
go to three or more attractions in the
Toronto area. The ticket price includes
the use of a multimedia tour guide and
viewing of the Pellatt documentary. For
more information and links visit the hipfig
Hipfig website for Toronto under "the things
to do" tab for Casa Loma. At Casa Loma
visitors can see European decorated
suites on three floors, secret passages, an
800-foot tunnel, towers, a stable, and five
acres of gardens
They also have a self-guided multimedia
tour in several languages
Be aware that the walk to the stables through the
the secret passages (tunnel) is about 15 minutes
each way. Casa Loma is a great place to
view the skyline of Toronto. If the
Terrace Grill is open, it's a great place
to have lunch and look at the view! Casa
Loma will take you an hour more
depending on your interest.
