Well worth the trip even if you just walk the grounds on the outside. Very interesting history. Read all of the plaques and get to know the past. Very interesting alumni list. Also really neat to see the movies that have been filmed here. Very nice location with excellent views of the ocean.

Even though I didn't get to visit the castle itself, the walk around the grounds outside is worth the visit alone. Came in the early morning hours on an October day and almost had the entire place to myself; great way to start the day! After walking around the grounds, I grabbed a quick coffee and bite to eat at the on-site Habitat Cafe. It's a pretty casual and straightforward little spot, but the coffee and baked goods were genuinely good. As well as the castle, a few of the other areas were also closed, due to Covid-19, but I will definitely be making my way back here again in the future to experience everything in full.
What a beautiful landmark to visit! Absolutely stunning grounds! First time here, and I can see many more visits to come! The gardens are absolutely heavenly! Wonderfully quiet, and so much to see! You can tell the caretakers love their jobs, as it shows in the quality of care and attention to detail!
Beautiful place with rich history. Well maintained ground. Nice and quiet on the weekend. People visiting follows safe social distancing.
Charles Xavier's School for gifted children is another name given to Hatley Castle in the Marvel Universe. Given this is the home Province of Ryan Reynolds, I'm sure he wanted this place for his Deadpool movies. An amazing place to walk around, take in the views and smells of all the flowers. The vines climbing the walls were pretty cool as they were different colors, made friends with one of the many peacocks walking the grounds. Didn't try and go inside, figure it'll be closed for covid reasons. The grounds staff are friendly and polite let us know we could walk on the grass lol (my dad would kill me for walking on the grass at home, so I asked if it was ok) wish I had more time to walk around but I had to catch a flight later that day. Highly recommended and I'll be back for a longer stay next visit..
