For any architecture or interior design buffs, Dundurn castle will be a treat. Children too will enjoy the special atmosphere of this imposing mansion. It is a most unusual building in itself and has been painstakingly restored to capture the appearance of an elegant mid-1800s home. This is the largest nineteenth century house in Canada and it radiates a regal dignity.

Guided tours are available at certain times throughout the day. In addition to the main house, are an aviary; a unique historical children’s playground with fascinating items such as penny-farthing bicycles, a restaurant and gift shop, the outdoor Cockpit Theatre which presents children’s entertainment July through August, and the Hamilton Military Museum.
