"A kitschy glitch in the city's skyline to locals, this castle on a hill offers an inspiring view of the sweep of the city."

"Some love it, others dismiss it as a kitsch folly. Either way, Casa Loma is a sight to behold, with its corbelled towers and battlements."

Especially well appointed are the Round Room with its exquisite Louis XV tapestry furnishings, the Windsor Room and Lady Pellatt's suite.

"It has been called a museum of the 21st century, but it's much more than that. Where else can you stand at the edge of a black hole, work hand-in-clamp with a robot, or land on the moon?"

Just be sure to visit the Cohon Family Nature Escape, where you can spy a giant Baltimore oriole nest, a porous concrete wall that provides a canvas for live moss graffiti, and a tree slide carved from the fallen trunk of a 125-year-old Eastern White Pine.

"Since this pioneering interactive science museum opened in 1969, generations of Toronto's kids, and their offspring, have proven loyal fans."
