Visited this place with grandma dearest who had a lovely time. Filled with history, and a lovely gift shop where you buy your tickets, this place offers guided tours. The grounds are well kept and the place borders a lake ( access if through a path)... plenty of parking too. Great place to visit on a cold day!
Amazing guided tour lasting around 45 minutes of this historic mansion. Our guide was super knowledgeable and passionate about the house. Kids loved the stories about beer drinking 8 year old servants and the innovative flush toilets. Interesting to see how people lived in those days. The house is packed with interesting rooms to discover, each one with a unique story and creepy basement that had a life of its own. Kitchen garden is enjoyable with options to pick berries. Would definitely recommend this if you are looking for something to do in Hamilton. Tours run every 20 minutes or so.
Dundurn is a gem; it is significant as a local Hamilton heritage site but is also significant historically for Canada. The estate is well maintained and considerable effort has been invested to ensure accuracy in historical presentation. I have visited Dundurn numerous times and I learn different things about the estate each time I go. It's great for children and adults alike. I am so thankful that this city seeks to preserve such a magnificent treasure. Definitely worth the time to visit if you are out and about in Hamilton.
Very beautiful castle with interesting history. All the staff are all nice and extremely knowledgeable, and not just the tour guides. The tour is captivating and never gets old. I've been on it multiple times and every guide I've had has made it a memorable experience. The tour is very reasonably priced and included admission to the military museum on site. The garden is open to the public to walk around and it's a lovely walk to take at any time of year. 12/10.
What really stood out about this beautiful place besides the history and what took place. It was the fine little details about the space that were added but you hardly took notice; from an architectural standpoint. In terms of the tour I'd still say the Whitehern tour was far better engaging and worth listening to. However our guide was wonderful and knew exactly what he was talking about. I think if you really enjoy architecture, design and history, this place is really where you should be stopping by.
