Dundurn Castle
2023 Aug 19
Great experience, and I definitely remember visiting when in Hamilton.
Only guided tours are allowed, so you can't go into the Castle on your own. But worth it. The tour takes about an hour and 20 mins. Very fun. We had a wonderful guide.
The Castle has an interesting history, and lots of character. Our group was small, which I learned later we were lucky to have. Our friends had 12 in their group, and they said it was too crowded. We had 8, including 3 kids. Perfect size.
I recommend checking if the kitchen is open, because it generally is and you get to taste some yummy things prepared in the Castle kitchen from old recipes.
We all enjoyed the tour. I honestly recommend it.
First, if you do come on a weekend, be prepared for a tremendous number of people. Just WOW. Much better on week days.
We have visited Ripley's, golf area, a few stores and an ice cream place before we called it good.
Ripley's was fun, although not as big as I expected. Still a great time. Credit only, they did not accept cash payment.
Golf course was ok, too crowded, but the kids liked it. A little overpriced for my taste, but vacation is vacation;)
Knick knack shops are of course tourist traps, but we did get a pretty hot plate for the kitchen and I am actually loving it.
Why just 3 stars? Because it's too busy, too loud, over commercialized and way too expensive. If not for the kids, we wouldn't spend 5 minutes there. Go to the Falls area, enjoy the view, and you can buy souvenirs and other things elsewhere.
