There’s a certain magic to the Castle and its 44 acres when the sun gets low in the sky, and the pale orange glow of evening twilight begins to change into night. It is a beautiful sight to see!
On your tour of the Castle, you’ll cruise by tram around the Cactus Gardens and the Outbuildings, without stops or commentary, before exploring the Castle’s first floor and basement, all accompanied by members of our Certified Volunteer Team.
The tour is ADA accessible; please let us know that you are bringing a wheelchair or walker. We cannot accommodate MOTORIZED assistive devices (wheelchairs, scooters, etc). Other Special Arrangements should be made at least 2 weeks prior to your tour date and time, particularly for assistive devices for hearing and sight impairments. This tour is not suggested for children under age 15.
This is a rain or shine, cold or hot tour; guests are advised to wear appropriate clothing for the weather.
Please understand that there are no tour refunds within 72 hours of your selected tour date. Tour refunds are for every ticket you have purchased e.g. 6 tickets purchased on same credit card, cannot refund only 2 tickets, but all 6! We are unable to make exchanges between dates and times.
Be advised that tours for commercial touring companies and professional photographers, using photos for commercial purposes, are priced at a higher rate and are very limited and not available through these regular tours. If you are interested in booking a tour through your tour management company or for a photography session, please contact us for special pricing and dates at tours@tovreacastletours.com If you are a commercial touring company or professional photographer and book anyway, we will cancel your tickets.

Happy Birthday, Leo Carraro!
Olivo “Leo” Silvio Carraro ~ It’s Your 106th Birthday! Thanks for all you did to make Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights a dream come true! You were just a boy when you started building the Castle with your dad, but worked harder than the rest of the men. But, you didn’t stop at the Castle. You made our Community a better place! Thank you! Tovrea Carraro Society

The Historic Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights will be open for several very special evening tours on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. You will experience the Castle as never before, bathed in the glow of the Spring’s Super Moon. Tovrea Carraro Society’s Certified Volunteers will take you on a historic adventure exploring Tovrea Castle at night.
This special tour of the first floor and basement gives you an idea of what life was like in the evening hours at the Castle. The abbreviated tour includes a drive around the grounds, without stops or commentary, arriving directly at the Castle steps and features light refreshments on the East Patio, where Della Tovrea once entertained her guests.
Spend time viewing the Super Moon on the same Patio where the elite of Phoenix engaged in conversation. THIS IS SPECIAL ONLY TO THIS TOUR – regular tours do not include the patio or refreshments.

Support Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights on Arizona Gives Day
On April 4, Arizonans can support their favorite nonprofit for 24 hours of virtual giving.
Tovrea Carraro Society is committed to provide a unique experience for visitors along with preserving, maintaining and restoring its historic structures, gardens and grounds.
Operating a Castle in the Desert is a dream come true, but an expensive dream, at that.
Hey, we’re not complaining; it is a pleasure to work on such an iconic structure. But, it takes extra dollars. As an all-volunteer organization, all monies raised through tours, events and donations go directly toward special restoration projects and daily operations, repairs and maintenance.
You can help us continue to keep this treasure in great shape by donating to Tovrea Carraro Society, where you can be sure that your contribution goes back into ‘our’ Castle in the Desert – keeping it open to the public for years to come.
Join us on Arizona Gives Day and Help Keep Arizona History Alive.
