Reviews of Dundurn Park (Tourist Attraction)

Matt L-A

Took our family for March Break and had a great time. The hour long tour was fun and tour guide Philip was entertaining (the tarts in the kitchen were also much appreciated). There were many activities for the children to explore while waiting for the tour to begin. Our girls had fun making masks, painting, and dressing up for the photo booth. A great experience especially for the price. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Feels like you stepped into a Jane Austen scene

Sean A.

Nice historic buildings and a great place to walk around and explore on a nice day. It's also near the waterfront trail so you can head there after for more outdoor fun.

Kazi Mahmudul Haque Bhadhon

Great place for a small picnic.

Sandy L Smith

Nice little gem in the city. Grounds are beautifully kept and lots of shade from the beautiful canopy of trees

Mariola K

Nice park and grounds but tours are closed until Aug 10th. Looks like an estate not castle. I'm sure it's gorgeous inside though.

Tech 0N

Awsome place fr spending eve

Jared and Peyton Wolf

A lot of wide open space for kids to run and play

Kamil

Run down, unkempt, and horribly managed With tickets purchased online we were still told that we don't have a guaranteed spot in a tour - after standing in a long line. So even with a ticket that was bought well in advance, for today, we did not have a spot in a tour until 2 hours later - and that was subject to availability. What's the point of having online ticket purchases? The place looks run down, the insides are worn and the grounds are dirty. The tour guide we had was clear, concise and spoke with confidence. It was a fine tour. The little history museum was nice - but it's truly small. One room in the ground floor and 2 rooms on the top floor, with a dozen showpiece between the three rooms. If better care was taken by the staff it might have been an enjoyable visit, but the ones in charge of planning need to update their methods. Don't make this a destination.

Hafez Issa

Great park, some good shade spots here.

David Coutts

Not open yet due to covid but great to walk about.

MSS De Luca

It's such a tranquil place to relax

Michelle Holmes

The grounds overlooking the waterfront and the castle itself are well-maintained. Perfect for a stroll.

Daniel Moscardini

We have taken many family photos out on the grass at the front of this Hamilton classic. There area is absolutely beautiful on a cool evening for a nice walk and the house is a great educational experience for the kids during the day. The parking lot is well laid out and way too get in and out of. I do find the overall walk through the house to be a bit on the short side but they do a very good job with the costumes and maintaining the period style house. Looking forward to Future tours when my own son gets older.

Terry Wilson

Amazing history

Niamh Baszyl

Luv this place. So beautiful. Anyone who rates this place bad doesnt appreciate the beautiful work put into building this castle. Had a wonderful young man with a wedding party pay for my family.

Jerry Bilous

This ancient villa or Dundurn / house on the hill, was a great visit into the livings of the historic family. With 42 rooms, including potties i figure, they had a lot of space. Well decorated and restored. The tour guide Jennifer, was extremely friendly, informative, and must importantly not boring. Three levels of bedrooms, living rooms, tea rooms and the living quarters of the 10 or so support maids, butlers, cooks, instilled a sense of what it might have been to eat, sleep and live here at the Dundurn Castle.

Lisa Marques

Great place to take a stroll and makes for a great photo backdrop!

Violeta Worek

It's so good to take pics.

Terry Babij

Great place to explore the environs around Dundurn Castle. The Kitchen Garden that provides heritage produce to the castle kitchen is a lovely place to wonder. Staff dressed in period costumes tend to the garden. There is a lovely walk through the maples at the rear of the Castle that leads to a spectacular view point.

Sriram S

Built in 1830s this castle connected with British royalties is a must-watch for those who would like to have a peek into Sir Allan MacNab's life, to learn history and technologies used, and to have closer look at the everyday artifacts. The castle also hosts a small museum in the Information centre for First World War. Don't miss that too. You won't be disappointed.

Alison & Aria Pipe

The tiny little Park provided is just enough to keep a small child entertained. But with the Garden in addition to the castle the three components make a perfect stop for any family

Dundurn Castle is a historic neoclassical mansion on York Boulevard in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) house took three years and $175,000 to build, and was completed in 1835.[1] The forty room castle featured the latest conveniences of gas lighting and running water.[1] It is currently owned by the City of Hamilton, which purchased it in 1899 or 1900 for $50,000.[2][1] The City has spent nearly $3 million renovating the site to make it open to the public.[1] The rooms have been restored to the year 1855 when its owner Sir Allan Napier MacNab, 1st Baronet, was at the height of his career. Costumed interpreters guide visitors through the home, illustrating daily life from the 1850s. The Duchess of Cornwall, a descendant of Sir Allan MacNab, is the Royal Patron of Dundurn Castle. Dundurn Castle, a Regency house, was completed in 1835 by architect Robert Charles Wetherell.[3] MacNab purchased the property from Richard Beasley, one of Hamilton's early settlers, when financial difficulties forced Beasley to sell lands at Burlington Heights (present day Dundurn Park), and MacNab built Dundurn Castle on the foundations of Beasley's brick home.[4] Once built, Dundurn Castle became famous all over the country for its grand entertainments. Sir John A. Macdonald and King Edward VII are among those who have been entertained there.[5] Sir Allan MacNab, later Premier of the united Province of Canada between 1854 and 1856, hired architect Robert Wetherall and construction of this stately home was completed in 1835. The pillars and portico were added in 1855 as part of the preparations for the wedding of MacNab's daughter Sophia.[6] After MacNab's death, the estate was used as an institution for deaf mutes, then was purchased in 1872 by Donald McInnes, who sold Dundurn to the City of Hamilton in 1899.[2] In the late 1960s, it was restored as a Centennial project. It is now designated as a National Historic Site of Canada. A Strathspey for bagpipes was composed in honour of Dundurn Castle.[7]

Nice little park featuring some historical sites

Arhama Syed

Beautiful park stunning spot to take pictures. Needs more benches/places to sit

Olaf Alders

Fun and educational. Quite nice at Christmas with all of the decorations. Well worth the price of admission and great for all ages. Being an older building, there are many parts of the tour which are not wheelchair accessible, so that's something to keep in mind.

Arcanum

A great place for a walk near a piece of history

Alaleh - FoodyTO

This is an amazing place to visit. There is so much culture in Dundurn Castle and it would be amazing to visit the museum with one of the guided tours. It has a nice trail that joins the waterfront trail and you can enjoy both the view and the walk. When we got here, there was a large filming crew filming beside the castle which was interesting to watch.

Diuvert Lopez

Beautiful park but even more beautiful and useful is the garden. Thanks to all the volunteers planting and caring for the vegetables, spices, flowers and medicinal plants.

Niki West

Awesome place to just relax and chill

Derek Martin

Nice walk with the family

Courtney K

Beautiful place to check out. Tours not very expensive.

Stefan Spolnik

One of my favorite sites in the city. Lots of history stretching from pre european settlements through the battle of 1812 and on through the victorian era. West of the park you can see more of the ramparts from the British fort that once existed there. At one time the walls surrounded the grounds of the park but were removed in the 1960s~c.

Hanna Koper

I definitely have to come back. Beautiful historic castle.

Julia Kollek Creative Services

Beautiful grounds & interesting historic building tour (once you can!)

Nice peaceful place to hang out at, good for walking, biking, picnics... east end of park edge has a lot of debris from junkies, clothes, and various garbage, needles and other drug paraphernalia, kinda sad... I guess they might get it cleaned up by the summer?

Terry Janzen

Very interesting. Knowledgeable guide

Ann Morrison

Very informative touŕ of Dundurn castle

David M. Turnbull

I toured Dundurn Castle (actually it is a 45 room villa) when it was restored in 1967. Still a great place to visit, and to learn about Lower Canadian history. They added 4 new rooms since my first visit.

Loved the castle. The tour was very informative offered by an excellent guide.

Jamiyaka Chan (Jdollprincess)

Nice place to go for a walk, bike or run. Good for outdoor exercise with a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. Not ideal for people who wants peace and quiet as this is a high traffic area/close to a main road.

Daniel Ziedins

Great place for photos! ???? @danielziedins

Amanda Robert

Took the in-laws from France and they enjoyed seeing what we consider old structures. Beautiful inside and love the view of the lake! The house gardens are nice.

Beautiful views!

Denny Borges

Great place for a walk around the grounds

Vern On

Great place for a lovely fall walk

Rajibul Mian

Great view...good place for daily walk..small picnic during summer

Devin Brazier

Awesome place. The house is beautifully restored to give visitors insight into what life was like for the colonial elite in the Victorian era. The best part is the guides, who take you through something like 40+ rooms and recite the history of the house from memory and with great enthusiasm. Easily comparable to Casa Loma but greatly underappreciated.

Max Marmol

Beautiful area. I love the kitchen garden!

Khurram Naqvi

Very detail heritage place

Ryan Donahue

Friendly staff. Family fun despite Covid

Lowell Rinker

Very interesting history and an excellent guided tour

Gorgeous view, excellent history. The grounds are beautiful as is looking out into lake ontario and hamilton harbour.

PAMELA

Excellent place to go, you will need 1 hr aprox for you visit no more than that. Each tour is around 20 to 30 minutes with a guide. It is very interesting, i really enjoyed a lot and my 4 kids too, they also have 2 exposition like militar museum that is interactive especially for the kids, they can play with some toys and music instruments etc. The mansion was very cool, and the tour is very informative. They also offer some cookies in the kitchen, that was very nice. Great experience! For a very affordable price we paid 32 dolars for a group of 2 adults and 4 kids.

Neal Jensen

Dundurn Castle is just wonderful to experience, especially at Christmas time. They have now renovated and opened new rooms to view and walk through. So if you have not attended the castle in more than 2 years or have never been to Dundurn Castle, take the time to visit with family or friends or even by yourself.

juss joolz powell

It historically and I live to learn about..lol history of Hamilton it's a beautiful scene I recommend to everyone. Blessings ????????

Erik Covert

Very cool place. We really enjoyed our visit here. Plenty of good photo opportunities.

Siva sidhamalli

The real life experience of seeing life style of a bygone era will teach us not to take for granted many of our modern conveniences. With Global warming we are not too far from returning to those days.

Arnoldo Krebs

My kids and I love to walk here on weekends!

mary lou diamond

Great Canadian history lesson! Loved our visit!

Dave Taylor

Fourth or fifth time I've been and each time I find something new lots of History interesting facts just try and get in a small group when they get too big it's too hard to see everything because there is lots to see if you like learning anything about Hamilton in the early days or Canada for that matter definitely a place you have to visit

David S

This was so cool, I have been meaning to go back and do it all agian to be able to see everything I missed while chasing the toddler. Would definitely recommend if you haven't been.

Josh Leeder (Landscaping Ninja)

One of my favorite places to do paranormal investigations.

Anamika Sharma

Went there specially for a walk! Was nice! Warm day but the breeze at times felt nice!

Dr.Hazem Barazi

Old ,historically, well preserved .

cheri fitzpatrick

Love Dundurn! Great tour guide, Grace. They are still adding to the rooms available on the tour. A magnificent Job! Well worth the Visit!

Busy

Amber Hunt (Amburley)

its pretty cool to go see. its closed right now due to covid. but you can still wander around the area. just cant go in.

Stacey Ras

Beautiful park, wish they had open houses on the weekend.

Sam Rosu

A must see for any history buffs. A great afternoon visit and the tour guides fill you in on things you never knew. This is back during the last snow fall.

P M

One of Hamiltons "Must sees"! Dundern Castle is a beautiful museum, with working staff who provide guided tours. A great educational experience to learn about Hamiltons History! Also, one of the top places for weddings and taking pictures for all photographers!

Mason Bourdeau

Top notch historical site. Highly recommend a visit to learn about the 1800s history of Upper Canada.

Jay Vagh

A very nice place adjacent to the castle. It's nice to walk around and it usually isn't too busy so it's quite peaceful as well

Truth Is Heavy

Great place for having a picnic. The castle is nice but the timings seem too short, it closes quite early. We went in the evening so did not get to go inside.

Joni Jae Thomas Vultao

We took one of the ghost tours at the Dandurn Park. It was a great history lesson. Loved how the tour guides were all dressed and were so knowledgeable about all the things at Dundurn. Would love to take the tour during the day to see the difference. There was so much history, art, and stories that went with it.

Janice C

It will see better days again. It's unfortunate that the grounds/garden couldn't be maintained for the public while we're all spending so much time gathering outdoors. * I have been back again more recently and things appear to have improved.

Vitra Mohammed

Amazingly well kept property that takes you on a journey back in time. The tour guides really know the history and are willing to provide answers to any and all questions posed. A great afternoon spent learning about the history of Dundurn and Hamilton.

Ron Thompson

Beautiful and so many different paths that run thru the bushes at the edge towards the water. There is a secret entrance to the castle but it's long been secured. Still like to find it

Andrew Marchesano

Feels like I’m on a cruise when here

Andrew Tressler

A picturesque building with an interesting history. Well worth taking the guided tour, and it includes tickets to the little history museum right next door. The gift shop has neat souvenirs and everything was very reasonably priced.

Christopher Neufeld

Very cool park the castle is awesome and my only issue was the loud noise from below by the water from the factory workers overall good expierence at dundurn park.

Diane

DUNDURN CASTLE Historical Mansion. Wonderful tour. The docent was very friendly and explained everything well. Worth a stop if you are in the area visiting.

Favour Okafor

Beautiful site for pics

Benjamin Prus

Historic metaphoric.

Justin Beaudoin

Its a very nice park with a big parking lot and view of the water below. I like the park benches and gazebo area with tables for doing work in the nice weather when there is an opportunity. Great for walking and hard to believe this beauty is in Hamilton.

Andrew Likakis

Space. The final frontier. These are my voyages, as I look for places to unwind and maybe find new friends in steel town.

Bioch

I like Dundurn Park,, always have since I was a little kid,, I remember when I was a kid going to telethon here I was like 12, had a blast ❤️

Nicole Jade Booyse

Beautifully tended park with awesome history to explore (even during covid with the museums closed). A tranquil space to take a breather, sip a Tim's and enjoy the view of the bay from the Heights.

Sara Melugin

This was a beautiful place. Unfortunately, they are closed on Mondays, so we didn't get to do the tour. We enjoyed walking around the property and taking in the scenery.

Michael Z

It's a nice place to learn about local and Canadian history at Dundurn Castle and the adjacent Hamilton Military Museum. The garden and yard is free to visit and is beautiful on a lovely sunny day. The gift shop has some interesting souvenirs worth buying. Location is nice as well, close to Hwy403.

Jennifer Jaundoo Wolfenden

Great parking and taking a walk across the street in the beautiful old cemetery is a plus!

Cecelia Lay

Dundran castle is a real place where you can feel history come alive. You can almost hear the roar of the cannon fire and smell the burnt powder. All in all a fantastic day with your family is to be had here.

Rob Balla

Always one of my favorite places to visit in the spring and summer. If you've never had a tour of the castle it should definitely be on your to-do list. The grounds are great for walking

Beautiful place and all people who work there are so nice. Special thanks to the lady from the kitchen for her hospitality and a shortbreads! Yum!

A good piece of canadian history. Very educational. A definite visit is required.

Lou Cicconi

Great place for photos.

Steve M

The grounds are well maintained and free from litter.

Habib.

A great place to walk around and take photos. The building itself has beautiful architecture and the grounds surrounding it are well kept and maintained. There's usually a garden that you can walk through and tours but it seems they've stopped for the time being.

Mirelvis Tort

Great for pictures, picnics and kids. It's not open but you can wonder around the building

Kelly N

A pretty space to eat your lunch on a bench on work days. If you find the right bench (there are lots of them!) You can even see Lake Ontario from the bench. Lots of trees and even little hills, I love that. A lovely greenspace on a busy road. Why eat in the parking of tomorrow Timmies when you can go sit here and feel nature bring you peace?!! :)

Nick Del Monte

I like anything to do with history and castles.. there's the castle, kitchen garden, grounds, historical site coach house.. Lovely place to send for an afternoon..

Jean-Francois Désilets

Well kept and nicely located

Gillian Didier Serre

It was wonderful taking a trip to Hamilton from Toronto, the Castle is beautiful we were unable to visit the herb garden it was to open late august, the grounds are beautiful with plenty of picnic tables also dog friendly on leash

Ali Abbas

Great place for a photo shoot

Pat Mcdaniel

We loved going through this castle. We had a tour guide that gave us a lot of history concerning the castle. We hate we didn't see the horse stable. Our guide forgot to take us.

Cori Crandall

Absolutely loved the tour! Had been there almost 30 years before, so much has been added to it!

Sangeet Saurabh

Amazing place.Make sure to bring your ID card if you are a student at McMaster University as they provide a free tour. Recently, they have changed their policy as anyone having a Hamilton library card can also avail a free your. It was a great experience especially knowing about the McNab family and their struggle. Some of the articles inside the castle will give a sense of luxury.

Kathy Fader

Great area for a walk. Scenery is the best.

Cynthia Fariña

Nice place and great park

Donald Fraser

We were at Dundurncastle as a starting point for a ghost tour

Great historical site! The guide was extremely knowledgeable. It made for a great tour

Katie Cottrell

It was fantastic and our guide was great. Well worth the trip

I Burlock

Interesting place especially the "below stairs" exhibits.

Nadine Eby

Nice park for a walk along the escarpment viewing Lake Ontario. You can tour the castle as well and follow a trail into treed area.

Mustafa Lasheen

Beautiful park, I went on a guided tour of the castle then went for a stroll around the park. Plenty of awesome views of the lake, nature and even the railway system downhill. Worth the visit especially if you are coming to see Dundurn castle and hearing how the whole area is connected historically and presently too.

TX Flip

Nice place to take your family and unwind...great for a photo session too

Tom Nowers

Very interesting walk through history. Dogents in period dress give a really well informed story of Dundurn and its context. Life of the times comes to your imagination as you trek through almost the entire place including the basement. There is also a military museum on the premises.

Michele Carr

It has beautiful picnic areas and scenery..great for photo shoots

John Povalic

Peaceful.. clean.

Larry Douglass

I love Dundurn Castle inside & out walking the Dundurn grounds viewing the Castle Community Kitchen Garden & to view from the edge Hamilton Bayfront! At least walking around & respecting the 2 meters distance cause we are outdoors we dont have to wear face masks!

Ashley Gilliland

Great history. Good trails around it. Wonderful buildings and tours that can be informative. Very pretty surroundings at Hamilton harbour.

Beth Lochhead

Loved the history. Having our own private tour added to our experience. Sad due to Covid that we couldn't sample the freshly baked shortbread ????

James Dietrich

A great place to explore, and learn. Lots of interesting things to see and experience.

The park over looks Hamilton Bay to the east, and provides great views. Dundurn Park is well maintained with mature trees, large open spaces and historic buildings. There is a homestead type garden located within the park area. Dundurn park is where Canadians ( mostly militia) assembled in the early 1800s' to march to Stone Creek to fight the American invaders during the war of 1812. One of the best features is that Dundurn Park is not overly busy and crowded. A great place to take the doggos. Over and out until the next review.

Everyone follows the covid rules, social distance on the paths, wore masks.

Jennifer Anema

Really neat to see the old furniture and storage and the history. Our guide was a little weird tho

Supriya Thukral

Historical site is very well maintained. Great for spending a day with visitors to Hamilton

Guided tour was informative for sure. History you probably don't know. About an hour or so

Shavinder Brar

So beautiful! We went for a bridal shoot and the park is gorgeous for a photoshoot as well as a picnic ????

Alicia Winegarden

Beautiful and usually not too crowded

Melody Culp

One of my favourite places to visit. The history of the park and Dundurn castle is very interesting. Beautiful grounds looking over the lake. Lots of free parking! The garden tour is full of beautiful flowers. Lots of places to sit and relax. A must see in Hamilton

Tonya G

A great way to spend the day, walking the grounds and walking through the flower garden.

Beautiful scenery in the summer. There is a lake nearby and shelter with tables and seats which require prebooking for use. It's a nice place to relax with friends and have a picnic

Odette Borg

Took a drive on Sunday and decided to have an impromptu picnic. Stopped at Dundurn Park. Lovely gazebo with plenty of picnic tables and very clean too. My only issue was that there was only 1 garbage receptacle in the area and as far as my eye could see the only one. The garbage was heaped and overflowing onto the ground. They either need to add more receptacles or clean the area daily. I took my garbage with me. How unfortunate that others before me didn't do the same. I will continue to visit and have picnics there, but will bring extra bags for the garbage just in case.

Great place to take wedding photos

Laura Menard-Locs

Attending a beautiful wedding at the coach house. Also was a great site for photos of all kinds. While we were there I saw an additional 2 brides and a couple expecting a baby having their own photo shoots.

Very interesting. A few areas were closed for renovations and a private viewing. Was treated with a scotch cookie, hot and fresh from them castles kitchen . Very tasty!!

Katharine McCormick

Good nature walk and historic castle

Bonnie Wheeler

A very beautiful castle. There is a guided tour every hour. This tour gives you a complete history of the owner, his many accomplishments are truly amazing. You get to see all the rooms in this Castle and a description of the furnishings. Then you can take a tour of their huge Garden area. All kinds of vegetables and Gorgeous Flowers, it was a surprise to see such a huge garden. There is also a military museum to tour, included in your admission price. This also was interesting. Allow at least an hour and a half if you want to see everything. Definitely worth visiting.

Worth the visit. Beautiful building. Historical.

Paul Consiglio

Historic landmark with a rich Hamiltonian history behind it! Beautiful and picturesque, a great place to bring a book and read or to walk your dog! I highly recommend it!
