    2022 September 4β˜… These steps take you up to the hill over to Castle Loma. It's probably nearly 100 steps or so and is a decent climb with a great view of the city. On spring and summer days, you'll find the blooming flowers along the steps. 2021 4β˜… Nice view of the city. If your in the area, there's casa loma and the spadina museum just north of the stairs. Nothing to see at the actual park. Good view point of the city from just north of the city on a clear day.

    In the mornings many use it to exercise. Breathing heavily not wearing masks. Disgusting to walk up the steps while others running up and down. Its a great spot to see the downtown skyline for photography. Its a winter wonderland in winter, breathtaking photos for photographers. In the summer beautiful flowers are planted. Its a beautiful spot climbing up to Casa Loma.

    Great place which offers a lovely view of the skyline. Located right next to casa loma. There aren't many stairs to climb so even if you are not in the greatest of shape should not be an issue. And if you come from the casa loma entrance side you can get to the top of the stairs avoiding the climb altogether. According to the information ℹ️ sign everything below Baldwin Steps had been underwater during the last ice age.

    The steps are a great workout and once you reach the top you have an incredible view. At the top there’s also a water fountain. It’s a quick walk from the train and at the top is the Casa Loma castle. Beautiful landmark and good recommendation for a tourist close to public transportation.

    I encountered this place while going to the Casa Loma and found it really beautiful. You will have a nice view of the downtown cityscape along with the CN Tower from here. In every level of the stairs you will find sitting area if you are not that fit. On the top there's a nice garden. You can do small picnic there along with the view. Water refill option is available there too.

    This is a nice place for a view of the CN tower and more of downtown. There are three bikesharing stations around this location, so it is pretty bikeable. You could have a small picnic there on the grass too or sit on the stairs. It is also quite calming to see cars and buses go by in the distance.

    Very great spot if you want to go for a walk in quietude and enjoy the skyline. The stairs can be used for leg day workout routine as well.

    This was a good workout for my legs, and the view of downtown Toronto at the top of the stairs was well worth it. The surrounding area was pretty and pleasing to the eye. Plus, if you're a Scott Pilgrim fan then this is one of the many places to hit up, as it's where Scott "fought" Lucas Lee.

    What to say about the Baldwin Steps? They are an awesome place to work out those leg muscles. They are also great to appreciate great views of Downtown Toronto without the vertigo of going up the CN Tower. It is also a historical site so you get both a cultural and sightseeing check mark in the same place. Once you reach the top you can gaze upon Casa Loma, so it is great to go up the steps before visiting the museum. Go now and wear comfortable shoes!

    Not as hard of a climb as you think, and an even easier and beautiful descent! My recommendation would be to walk up the side of casa Loma, around to the front, and then down the Baldwin steps.

    The view from here is so awesome!!! You can see the city from the top and a glimpse of the lake Ontario straight across a road.
