Visited dundurn castle on a Saturday, I would say it was a fantastic experience. There was a short wait time for the guided tour, our guide was so knowledgeable, gave all the details she knows and tried to answer all of our questions! All the guides that work in this establishment also dressed in old time clothes, which gave us an immersive experience of how the old owners live in this place. Would recommend to children, or who just moved to Hamilton to know more about the history and important people to the city! It’s January and right after Christmas, they still have some christmas decorations on. We also got to try the shortbread cookies! They are delicious, and we got the recipe for the shortbread as well.

What a beautiful historic castle. Beautifully decorated and set up. Taking the tour was well worth it, our guide was a wealth of information. We very much enjoyed our visit.

We stopped by Dundurn Castle while driving around and only explored from the outside this time. The grounds were beautiful—we even caught a glimpse of a wedding, which made the visit extra special. The highlight for us was the Kitchen Garden, a large and well-kept space where staff dress in period costumes. It’s a lovely spot for a stroll, and we look forward to coming back to do the full tour another day.

We planned on always visiting but something came up so we decided on that day to just go and we did. We loved it beyond words, from start to finish. The atmosphere was incredible, clean, friendly with the staff always greeting us answering anything we needed. The tour guide was the sweetest person very polite and informative as were the other members inside. I would highly recommend visiting and taking a tour. If you’re from Hamilton I would recommend getting your library card to cover the cost. No issues with parking as there was ample space. I would suggest taking the tour twice to fully embrace the experience.
