Explore secret passages, opulent rooms, and marvel at the breathtaking gardens. As you wander, feel the history seep into your bones, transporting you to an era of grandeur and elegance. Casa Loma, a testament to the allure of architectural wonders, awaits your discovery.

Casa Loma doesn’t list a discount for individual teachers, and it doesn’t publish a school group price either. The Tours & Groups page says group rates are available and gives info@casaloma.ca as the contact for more information, so a class trip to the Toronto castle starts with an email.

If you’re planning a school visit, the school field trips section is where to start, and we’ve laid out what it says below. If you’re a teacher visiting with family, the general admission prices are the ones you’d pay, and they’re listed further down.

How To Get The Casa Loma Teacher Discount

There isn’t a teacher discount to claim at the ticket counter, so the route is booking a school group visit. The Tours & Groups page says guided school group tours are subject to availability and must be pre-booked in advance. For more information it lists the Group Sales and Education Manager at info@casaloma.ca or 416.923.1171. The page doesn’t give a rate, so the group or student price comes from that conversation.

The page also says a Casa Loma Teacher’s Guide is available upon request, which is worth asking for when you write. It links a brochure for JK to grade 8 and a secondary school brochure, both as PDFs, and we haven’t quoted anything from them because the page itself doesn’t state a price.

What Students Do On A School Trip

The page says Casa Loma offers a unique experience for students and an interesting way to learn about and understand life in early 20th century Canada. The list of things students do includes exploring secret passages, climbing soaring towers to view historical architecture and the city, viewing original stables and antique cars, and discovering the life of Sir Henry Pellatt and his family through a documentary presentation.

On lunch, the page says students may bring bag lunches and eat on-site, or lunch is available for purchase in the café.

Visiting On Your Own

The plan your visit page lists general admission at $45 for adults 18 to 64 (CAD), shown as $39.82 + HST. Seniors 65 and over and youth 14 to 17 are $40, and children 4 to 13 are $30. Children under 3 are admitted free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. The page says the general admission price isn’t valid for specialty ticketed programming or events, and that the Sir Henry Pellatt documentary and the multimedia audio guide are included in the admission price.

The Tours & Groups page says all guided tours require general admission tickets, and it lists the daily Walk Up General History Tours at an additional $10 per person. If you’re driving, the plan your visit page says paid parking onsite is a flat rate of $20 per vehicle.

The page also lists a CityPASS bundle: Casa Loma with 4 more Toronto attractions saves up to 38% off admission. That one makes sense if you’re planning a few stops on the same trip.

What We Couldn’t Confirm

The pages we read don’t state a per-student price, a minimum group size, how many teachers or chaperones come in free, or what ID a teacher would show. The admission table has no teacher category, so a teacher visiting alone pays the listed price. For anything about a class booking, the contact above is the only route the pages give.
