We went to Castle Park for the first in on 9/27/25 for Castle Dark. We had a really good time. Was well organized and we got to go through all three mazes and a few rides. I was surprised at how fun some of the rides are. The staff were all friendly. Some of the monsters were even paying catch with my son with a ball that he was able to get from the grabber machine in the arcade. The food was pretty good as well. Going to be going back for some miniature golf. Highly recommend Castle Park for a day out with the family.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Castle Park offers classic family fun with mini golf, arcade, and seasonal events, but significant maintenance issues and safety concerns make it hard to recommend currently. Best suited for families seeking nostalgic amusement park experiences who can overlook facility problems, though safety issues with lighting and electrical hazards are particularly concerning.

⏰Avoid mini golf courses 3 and 4 due to poor lighting and safety issues
🎟️Expect some rides and arcade machines to be out of service
πŸš—Parking costs $25 which adds significantly to visit expense

β€œI use to come here when I was younger and it’s changed a lot. Now they have a splash pad water park which use to be a parking lot for the arcade…that’s a nice change. I love the shade the trees provide as you’re walking towards the mini golf and arcade, that was great they kept those trees! Back in the day there were magic shows but I don’t see that they have it anymore. The park looked clean and well maintained! Keep in mind it is a cashless park. Overall it was a good experience coming here with my kids!”

β€œI wanted to like this small amusement park. It does have a lot of charm and character. The drawbacks were security. I saw two ppl set off the metal detector. The first person told the person they were wearing suspenders the second person said it was their belt buckle that set off the detector. The person ruby security let these ppl through without a second thought or checking to ensure what set off the mental detector. Whole at the park we went to play miniature golf. The last 4-5 holes on course 3 and 4 were in the dark. The light did not work at the holes or the pathway. You needed to managing stairs and uneven pathways in the dark. When this was mentioned the ppl working they said the rain got water in the lights and there was nothing they could do. It’s a safely issue if you want see the stairs or uneven pathways around the course.”

β€œWent for haunt night, very entertaining, well organized. Employees were friendly and helpful. Park needs updating and cleaning, restrooms were disgusting. Rides kept going out of service. Parking was $25.00/expensive. My daughter liked her chicken tenders, carne asada fries were awful.”
