$5.50 for One Adult Admission to Dundurn Castle (A $11 Value) - Part of City of Hamilton Civic Museums

This December after the presents break open, your home will be filled with Squnkies, Zoobles, dohickies and various other thingamajigs. It might even get to the point where you can’t see the floor. WagJaggers, we know the cabin-feverish feeling of spending a little too much time at your own home front over the holidays. Take a much-needed outing from your hectic house this season and head to another one – without the mess but with all the preserved grandeur and history of the 1800s.

Today’s WagJag gets you one adult admission to Hamilton’s historic Dundurn Castle for $5.50, regularly valued at $11.

Built in the 1830’s, Dundurn Castle was once the home of Sir Allan Napier MacNab, Prime Minister from 1854-56 and member of the British militia that fought against William Lyon Mackenzie during the Upper Canada Rebellion. Explore inside the castle’s 40 rooms and three floors, then wander outside the estate’s surroundings on Burlington Heights, a patch of land which once served as a military post during the War of 1812. Admission also includes a chance to check out the mansion’s kitchen gardens and the Hamilton Military Museum, where you’ll be able to see and learn about Canadian war relics.

This WagJag comes with even more perks that’ll serve to enhance all your family outings. Redeem your voucher between November 27 and January 2 and not only will you get to see the castle decked out in festive attire for Victorian Christmas, but you’ll receive two vouchers for free admission to Battlefield House Museum and Park and Whitehern Historic House and Garden.
