Free to visit during May, which is Museum Month. You must show your City of Toronto public library card.

The Colborne Lodge has reopened after renovations, and it is open from Wednesday to Sunday during guided tours offered at 11.30, 1.30 and 3.30. Admission is free. It is a delightful place to visit. guided tours are lead by knowledgeable staff who shares history of the building and its inhabitants (Mr and Mrs Howard who purchased the land in 1830s, and whose endowment originated what we now call the High Park). The rooms are restored to look like they did nearly 200 years ago. While the original furniture and decorations were lost, the house is full of authentic beautiful artefacts from that period. The Coach House (right next door) remains open (also Wed-Sun) from 11am to 4pm. It houses some temporary displays (currently: medicine of the Victorian era) and a permanent exhibit dedicated to John G. Howard, his professional achievements and also history of Toronto. The Museum also offers special seasonal events - like upcoming Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories at Colborne Lodge (December 7,8 and 14,15).

This place was amazing you learn so much and the tour guide Megan seemed so knowledgeable about what she was saying!

A nice little piece of local history available for free to the public, with guided tours several times daily. I would recommend though that they advertise a bit more and also find a way to appeal to the younger crowd. Perhaps some sort of games or scaveger hunt could achieve this. Still, all in all an important part of Toronto's history.

It is currently being renovated, but once it reopens it will once again be an interesting historical site. The tours there are great.

A very educational and immersive experience. Great for kids and anyone who is interested. The tour guides were great and the tour groups are just a few people or you and whoever else is there.

High Park - Fantastic place for photography.

What a hidden gem , learned so much about the park and I felt like I walked through time in a time capsule.... So so worth the stop and such great attendants

Small tour, but worth it. Important fact: High Park is dry! Wow... who knew?

$30 for a family of 5. Guided tour of the Colbough Lodge which this home and owners owned this land. History of how High Park was made. Apple cider and cookies provided to kids. Then had a long walk to park and the animals. Fresh air. Exercise . Great day

This is a historic building set in the Victorian era. If you like that sort of thing, they do pursue the theme to the enth degree. All volunteers are dressed in period clothing and are more than happy to explain the history of the site, life in the time, and the struggles early Toronto life brought. Situated in High Park, there are tons of picnic spots, lush foliage and greenery, interesting historic spots (including the grave of one of Toronto's early city planners) right in and around the site. A full day of activity awaits!

High park has every that most park don't,it has many natural paths in the woods tennis 🎾 swimming, a zoo and more. You won't be disappointed visiting the park, it runs as far from Bloor st to the south at the lake shore, take in the beautiful landscape, this is a 5 🌟!!!

I attended the tour after dark. I visited the house several times in the past. Still I discovered new interesting historical information. The guide was very professional. I recommend.

Public washroom accessible right next to the lodge!

The tour of this historic house was fascinating, and shared many interesting stories about the Howards (who gave the land of High Park to the city for making a public park) and about 19th century Toronto.

Ok. Short.

Love taking a stroll through the park before the inclement weather comes

It’s a small museum (house) located south of high park by The Queensway. This place not popular for everyone but it’s an amazing place to visit. The people serving in this small museum they are so helpful and knowledgeable about sir John and his wife and their story when they moved to this place from UK in the 18 century to start their new life in a farm that located outside of Toronto that time.
