Rooms:

In my opinion, when I visited Casa Loma I found the history very fascinating, and all of the rooms very beautiful. This is a great tourist site and something you definitely want to see some day. All of the rooms in this house are so pretty, and the towers are very fun climbing up them too. The art work is beautiful, and so is the amazing architecture.

Gardens:

These gardens surrounding the castle are very beautiful. I have walked around in these gardens before and they are so gorgeous. These gardens have been kept up for many years, and more and more people keep coming to see how beautiful they are. All of the gorgeous fountains and flowers look so great together, and is something you definitely want to see. The gardens of Casa Loma are very beautiful.
