What people say, in short
Several visitors recommend Spadina House, a historic house museum next to Casa Loma that is visited on a guided tour, and several suggest it instead of or alongside Casa Loma. Two visitors single out the grounds, one for its collection of apple tree varieties and another for its manicured gardens. One visitor cautions that it is a former family home rather than a museum, that you cannot go in without joining a tour, and that weekend tours can fill up.
