Castle Park

My wife and I brought our nine year old grandson. We had a wonderful time. We purchased GOLD Season Tickets Online. All of the staff were very polite and kind. The park was very clean as well as the bathrooms We stayed 4 1/2 hours. Can't wait to use our passes again. And Kevin The Peacock was simply beautiful.

I leave only 3 stars my reason is because we been there yesterday the park has close about 4 attractions also i saw some building need maintenance replaced boards, painting etc they need to invest some money for repairs attractions and park everything else is good we liked the train the water park food etc the price of the park is very accessible also parking the golf ?? park is good has arcade machine but need more also I recommend to get the tickets online very easy to paid and you said 20%

I visited on a Saturday, which to my surprise was not crowded. I went for the miniature golf. Course number one was very crowded so we went to course two which had no wait. There were 3 out of the 18 holes closed, but overall, it was fun and easy to navigate and is perfect for date night or family fun. If you plan to visit, I definitely recommend buying the tickets online and also, there is a $15 parking fee.

I use to come to castle park 25 years ago with my children and they have fond memories of castle park , birthdays ect?.., and now I'm a grandpa ?? and I took my granddaughters. Castle park the perfect place for toddlers 36 inches or higher . They had a wonderful day . It's perfect , lines are not long at all , the place is perfect ! Has a water park , mini golf and rides . My granddaughters loved the toddlers rides ! I will be coming back often ! Get your tickets on line will save you lots of money !!! Th

We have spent three hours at this park. Enjoyed the mini golf a lot! (Not using the rest area) Pretty interesting - variety of fields. Starting from the middle it was not always obvious what is the next field. I'd recommend them to make many signs on that. The park is pretty old, but the lack of crowds and the overall atmosphere make this mini golf get to the list of returning places , we'll come back for sure!

Loads of fun. All i didnt like was that they were strict on phone usage . Like you couldnt take out your phones on rides. Which i find ridiculous. Because it should be our responsibility if something happens to our phones.. but other than that it was cute place. My 8 yr old loved it.

Castle Dark is the official event I attended. It was fun, a lot of good energy from the scare talent. Went there for "Inland Empire Goth" park take over event. The park itself is both big and small at the same time in a good way. Staff was polite/helpful, security through and curtious, grounds were clean and bathrooms well stocked.

Amazing time for your kids bday party or just to spend some quality time. Fun rides, great miningolf and cool arcades. Great value for your money

Castle Park was great the mini golf was amazing but where I had a horrible experience was at the cave (water park) it was one employee that was very rude and obviously not trained to deal with autistic kids the was he spoke to my husband about our 5 year old grandson that's also autistic was very unprofessional it was our first time there and to leave with that experience was not what we were hoping for my grandson isn't very verbal so him understand wrong from right is extra challenging and that's why my h

Castle Dark was worth everything! The rides were fun. I ordered pizza with no sauce I got a little trouble at first but then I explained to them that I'm type 2 diabetic and I saw an allergen sign posted right on their window next to me. The female cook looked a little upset about it but she ended up making my pizza with no sauce thank you so much. The park was clean. The customer service could have been better on the merry-go-round. All of the Park monsters who were very entertaining and scary that was the

Mini golf course is being repaired, but this should have been done 5 years ago. The water at concessions is $5.25 A BOTTLE!!! Food is worse $$$$$$! Eat before you go and bring your own water.

we had a blast here! it's a great place to bring younger children! My toddler who is normally afraid of everything, had so much fun on all the rides, and didn't want to leave! so that's a plus!

I haven't been here in years, and when I tell you, my family had a blast, we had a blast LOL . I love how there is so much to do. From the rides, to the food, to the water park area, to the arcade and miniature golf. It is best to see what great deals they have online compared to purchasing things at the actual park. You definitely get your money worth here. The entire vibe was amazing. We will be going back soon.....

We are locals. Castlepark is dear to our hearts. My daughter has special needs and LOVES the Mardi Gras celebration. This team of performers, 2 weeks in a row, have shown patience, friendliness, and compassion for my daughter. Thank you for making my daughter choose Castlepark over Disneyland! Lol. Please support our local park, come visit. Great people, fun entertainment, and great food.

fun place - should be more people here - great games, mini golf

Our parents used to take us here when we were younger and it was fun to now take our kids here though we were super bummed/disappointed that they don't have the amusement park/rides section open during weekdays.

Great place to spend the day with my son. Cool down in buccaneers cove. Ride some thrilling rides and play miniature golf. 4 different courses which provide some challenging holes. This time the log ride and a few other major ride attractions weren't open which disappointed but all in all I'm definitely glad I purchased platinum passes for this year. Parking alone makes it worth it and entrance to wild rivers this definitely ice cream with my cake. My son?s about to be 7 and this is a great place for him an

I recently visited Castle Park with my autistic daughter and some family friends. It was our first time back since I was a child, and we were excited to have a fun day. Unfortunately, the experience was disheartening and left me feeling unwelcome as a special needs parent. When I asked two different staff members if there were front-of-the-line passes or any accommodations for guests with disabilities, I was told ?no? both times?without any explanation, empathy, or effort to assist. Later, while struggling

Alright, so Castle Park in Riverside?honestly, it surprised me. I went in thinking I'd just hit a few rides and call it a day, but I actually had a blast. The rides were fun, sure, especially for families and kids, but what really stood out for me was the arcade and the miniature golf. The arcade took me right back?tons of games, from classics to new stuff, and I could?ve easily lost a few hours in there without even realizing it. And the mini golf? Super chill, well-kept, and just a good time all around.

June 2025 1. There is very limited ride park hours (and it's SUMMER!!!) 2. The park is EXTREMELY DIRTY! 3. There is hardly any rides anymore! 4. When ride park is open, they have 1 ride operator for multiple rides. This park is failing really bad! Not worth it. You're just wasting your time tbh.

Great place to mini golf. Has 4 courses and you could be there all-day with the mini golf unlimited pass. Get there before 12pm to play at least 2 or 3 mini golf course with hardly anyone there. You can do them pretty quick. Everything is just so expensive as far as games, food , drinks ???????. Make sure you have kids eat before you go.

Very nice place , I love it! It feels very authentic and vintage ,not something that you see in every amusement park. Worth the membership to support them but unless you do the platinum one there is a $15 fee for parking which is way too much and definitely adds up a lot . While most of the rides are for kids there are some that are also good for adults and a few for toddlers too. One of my kids is still too scared of most of the rides but still enjoys the little train and the vintage cars and the carousel

Castle Park is a fantastic family theme park that has remained a beloved destination for many years. While it may be missing a major refurbishment, it still offers a fun-filled experience for families without breaking the bank. One of the highlights is their great family package, which is sometimes available and definitely not to be missed. The park offers a variety of exhilarating rides and enjoyable mini-golfing options. It's a perfect place to spend quality time with family, creating unforgettable memor

I haven't been here in about 18 years. I gotta say overall I'm impressed that's it's still around. Me and my bf just went recently. The rides and arcade are great!! Food, of course, even years later still pricey ?? so I recommend a cooler and bringing your own food honestly. I see what Castle Park is doing good and where improvements can benefit them. The staff is friendly and helpful in every venue and ride. My only complaint is the lack of hype for Dukes Dj dance party. Like come on , y?all could really h

My husband and I went to castle park to see how castle dark was for our 4yr anniversary. Their opening ceremony is pretty cool almost as cool as knots. Mazes are short, but the night shift maze was lots of fun for a short maze. You're literally in the dark with a flash light. As for rides really not that many. I mean it is Castle Park after all. We went to Castle Dark twice on a Saturday with my sister, and on a Friday night with just me and my husband. When we went on a Saturday lines got long as the night

It's a great place for the family when Disneyland is too far and expensive (which it is both imo). My 4 yo son loves it here. We got season passes and they were cheap. >$50. They have a water park there too. It's not huge but it's not small either. The season passes cover rides, water park and minigolf. The only thing that sucks is that they charge like $15 for parking. And they don't take cash anywhere at the park. Other than those 2 things I like it here and so does my son and wife. My 4yo son is like 45"

A pretty decent place but they didn't have enough staff to operate the simple things like, rentals, drinks and prize claims. I waited 25+ minutes just for a refill. People waited over half an hour for prizes. Mini golf is rad but many of the courses are falling apart. The place needs alot of TLC.

Brought my kids here for the summer. Got them season passes. Got one platinum pass which includes discounts on food and drinks. And a platinum cup with free anytime re fills. You can bring a water jug and have it filled with ice and water at any drink stand. They also sell beer here as well as frozen margaritas. You can save your cup and get margarita refills at a discounted rate. You can also exit the park to bring in needed items to your car and re enter. You can bring food to the park. There is lots of s

We only went to the mini golf course. My kids like mini golf and they absolutely LOVED these courses. There were 4 courses with 18 holes in each one. Absolutely terrific. We recently moved to the area and we've been looking forward to this & we're now thinking to get the yearly pass, fun!

Castle Park has been a staple in the Inland Empire for good family fun, for a long time! I have visited this amusement park many, many times over the course of my childhood and now as an adult taking my own children. We visited this park on 10.20.24 and we had an absolute blast! We scored some free tickets through a community event, which I think is awesome of Castle Park. The arcade games are very cool and gameplay is super affordable. Most of the rides were operating, the staff was friendly and efficient.

This place is a nice gem in Riverside. The price for admission is worth every penny. The park has a good amount of rides for mostly all ages. There are kiddy and carnival rides, as well as more intense rides at the park. My kids loved the classic car ride near the train. They decorate the place for Halloween and it's neat at night with all the lights! They have miniature golf also which makes the place huge, but it's not far to walk to each attraction which is a plus. The wait time for rides can be a litt

It's a small Theme Park, designed for kids 48" and up (The more exiting rides) and There's a couple of rides for kids 36" and up,as well. Parking is only $15. Oh I forgot, they also have Miniature Golf (Year Round) and Bucaneer's Cove (Small Water Park) in Summer. Worth the Annual Pass in my Opinion.

In my opinion, the rides here are best suited for ages 3 -12. If you want a 5 star experience suitable for all ages, SoCal has plenty of theme parks to choose from. Of course, you'll pay a lot more to get in than we did, only $19.99 online. As grandparents with four kids in tow, aged 1 to 7, we had a lovely time. Castle Park opened in 1976. Sadly, the log ride and train weren't operating on the Sunday we went. Still, the kids had fun on classic rides like the seaplane, carousel, bumper cars, and antique c

We are going on our 2nd year with membership passes. Our kids just love it! It's a small amusement park compared to Knotts, but it has the same style, so many shade trees and seating, it's such a fun place to visit, we haven't gotten tired of it! The kids love the water park as well. The Log ride is fantastic on hot days, the food is always great and the lines are never too long. Bring your whole family the tickets are cheaper online and can be used to purchase your membership. Hope this helps?? and don't f

Went for date night with my husband and our best friends for mini golf. The pricing is reasonable and environment is a chill vibe. Probably should eat before coming though. Snacks are overpriced.

The place looks the same as it did around 30 years ago. The rides are in desperate need of repair, maintenance, or replacement. The water area is only good for little kids.

This amusement park is closed. Why is it still selling tickets on the official website? And there is no refund. There is no information about the closure, and the map has not been updated. I have been here twice and it is not open. It is so annoying. Why don't you put it on the map that it's closed? Why can I sell tickets on the official website? We ran here twice, but it was not open. The key is that there is no place to refund the ticket.

Went with tickets. Unfortunately all the rides and mini golf were off limits, so we chose to just play at the arcade, which was a short but fun experience. Our tickets will be expiring soon so we may have to go again early this week, or not go at all. Despite the inconvenience, staff was friendly, and the food was okay.

The miniature golf is huge. It needs some love. We went with a large group of kids that were there only for mini golf. They wouldn't allow the parents in to watch the kids play. So a lot of them left.

Miniature golf was awesome!! Unfortunately not all holes were open and there is very little shade on the courses..

Very disappointed. Nowhere near as before (i been coming since childhood) restaurant is beyond bad and the crew there(maybe that shift only) was rude and food was blank. Rides we're closed including the log. Mini golf was good but some (course #3) holes were closed and the whole thing was missing water. Front restroom needs some work. Sorry but this place WAS GREAT. WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?! not sure if I'll be back.

We enjoy visiting this park. It can get crowded at times, but the lines are usually manageable. There are plenty of rides and a good variety of food options at reasonable prices.

Better communication at the front desk when entering the park would be appreciated. If they knew multiple rides were down they should?ve said in advance.

Do yourself and your family a favor and do not waste your money in this park instead pay 40 extra dollars and go to Disney. They promote 50 family attractions, and I only could ride for attractions with my kids because the rest were either out of service or not open. $15 for the parking and at least $20 for each person who wants to eat something at this park. I don't understand why everything looks so old and lacks maintenance when you're paying a premium ticket. Golf would be a better option though.

It's a fun place to enjoy with the family. You can enjoy all the opened attractions easily in one visit. The crew members had a great attitude. A few rides were done and a few broke down temporarily during our visit bit overall a great experience with the rides and arcade. In past visits we have enjoyed the Waterpark and mini golf just didn't experience it this visit. Also if you come is a beautiful sight to see Kevin the parks live roaming peacock. The big top barbecue restaurant is wonderful to get a good

Great place to take your family. Was not that expensive like i first thought it would be. I bought the family special online to enter park for 4 w/ food bundle. Paid about $140 The rides were good, only thing the log ride or the screaming demon ride wasn't running. ? there was not long lines to wait in. ?? Overall We had a good time. Definitely coming back. We highly recommend this place.

The kids really enjoyed their day there. It's fun for young kids. My son and his friend Rainey were there for her birthday and they had a blast

Great place for kids of all ages! Rides are fun and park is very clean. Employees seem to care about the kids too.

Had a great time the fireball ride is the best food was pretty good. For a small park, you get to have a lot of fun. Had some amazing memories with my daughter with my daughter

Its ok if you dont want to drive all the way to OC and pay for Disney or Knotts. Lots of stuff under construction here currently. The mini golf course was missing course 2 for repairs, there was no water features like they used to have, kinda left a lot to be desired. Food prices are ridiculously high. $5.99 for fries... $11.99 for a corndog and fries... the place feels more and more run down every time i come here.

Great place for a family outing. The pricing to get in isn't bad. The parking is $10 with no re-entry and the food and drink prices are pretty steep. Mini golfing, an arcade (another additional fee) and rides. Overall a good time. I will say it's a little run down as there were several rides with caution tape strewn haphazardly around them and still in service. Yikes.

Great place to take your kids, water park to cool off a d fun rides for all ages. Then the arcade and the mini golf. Lots to do so I think I'll get the season pass.

Charming little place that's fun for everyone. Don't come here expect one of them big ones, but much more friendlier staff and generally less overwhelming for my son on the spectrum. Will come back

Super cute park. Not to big but lots of shade. Mini golf is cute and arcade is fun. Loved both train rides. Oh, and also has a small water park area. Has a magic show and few other rides and hand sanitizers throughout the park! Give it 4 stars because there were a couple rides not opened. But Good place to visit. Definately recommended!

Was such an awesome amusement park. We were sad to see a few rides however we're not operating. (Not water/seasonal rides) food was good, we got corn dog combos and funnel cakes! Park was clean, staff was friendly. Spent the entire day for our family fun!

Took down Ghost blasters yeah I am so upset. I don't care what you say. I hate them now I mean if they renovated yeah yeah yeah I mean it's old So like just like removing it like that, I mean, move it around the park I don't care like, but then we're Removing It gets me. Because Like I wrote that ride for so long and I literally made it at my House at black lights and what not I spent over like $6000 making it at my house probably even more And then y?all gonna delete the real one like I love it. I ain?t pa

I thought that Castle Park was a really neat place to visit. I came here not thinking that Castle Park would be as good as it seemed. The rides were pretty cool, having just 1 roller coasters (R.I.P Screamin Demon), but the non-coaster rides definently made up for it. My favorite ride was Fire Ball, but mostly because I love thrills, but I definently appreciated the tamer rides, especially the Castle Park Railroad, Sky Rider Observation Tower, & Antique Car Ride. The funnel cake at Duke's Frying Factory is

?????? I was 20 years old when I first set foot in here. Now at 37 married with kids, we all enjoyed every minute of it! So much so we were the last ones to leave. Prices are fair, rides and mini golf course can be unlimited when bundle. I would definitely recommend this fun place to anyone on a date or just as a quick gateway with the family. All these years later "Castle Park" still puts a smile on my face, thank you! ??

I cannot believe how amazing the price was. 10$ for all day ride wrist band. We rode 17 rides in less than 3 hours. No lines super family and kid friendly lovely atmosphere. My kids want to go again!

Family Fun in the Sun ???????? .I also recommend the Barbeque Chicken, Lunch /Dinner. It's so worth it to me . You can also purchase a food pass you can eat every 3 hrs .for 19.99 .. It's always a good time

Pretty fun! My sister's enjoyed the arcade and miniature golf. Some things look dated but the food was good.

Great for the little ones, as a good number of rides are always closed, due to lack of maintenance and the very old age of the rides! Fortunately, my favorite, Dragon Boat (really big swing) seems to always be running... We're yet to check out the Buccaneer Bay water Park area...

Less rides than 10 yrs ago and 3 of the good ones were not running. No more water on the golf courses, just dry empty trenches/fountains, lots of cockroaches.

Typical Palace Entertainment at work. Lack of maintenance. My previous review below spoke of how Palace Entertainment does things on the cheap and doesn't do adequate preventative maintenance. The log ride accident is all the proof you need. Substandard and horrible and as a regional amusement park operator. The same lack of maintenance is manifesting itself at Kennywood in Pittsburgh. Thus, there can be no rating higher than a 1. Overpriced, merchandise-centric while generally ignoring the core amusement b

I took Collin to the water park in riverside . Castle park It was very hot that day. So we went to the water slide And it was very cool in that area. There was older people there with their grand kids sitting sitting down watching the kids get on the water slides and play in the water. It was very relaxing I really enjoyed myself. And it seems like the kids was having a awesome time. I think the price was $37 per person person $15 for parking. If you know anything about me you know I keep It real. There's

It was so fun me and the 5th grade went for a field trip and the rides were fun Hardly any waits fireball was closed sadly but also I didn't go on ufo cause it looked scary but next time I'll go on it I give this 5 stars

Great day out for the whole family! Affordable and online reservations was so easy! Rides were great and arcade has so many new games!! Miniature golf was a blast! Food and concessions are reasonably priced. Parking price is fair. Family Enjoyed the day! Thank you Castle Park.

I've been to castle park multiple times throughout the years and I always end up having a good time. My family and I (12 in total; it was a family day and took advantage of their stocking stuffer from Christmas, with unlimited rides and mini golf..yes it was a GREAT deal) visited on a Saturday and honestly I was so happy to see so many people there, and we all had a wonderful time. I feel like the popularity of these small parks have declined through the years, Which really sucks because there's so many po

Always a great place for family fun!! We celebrated my 7 year old daughter's birthday here and she had a blast like always! The whole place is secured so nothing much to worry about letting the kids roam around... the only downside was the water log ride was still closed when we came on the last wknd of July. We were all looking forward to that especially being it was 105? that weekend.

We had such a blast!!Lots of rides good prices great funnel cakes and fried Oreo's. Awesome golf setup the arcade was big we couldn't even finish the rides so we didn't get a chance to go inside the arcade nor golf Lots of parking they are pretty organized,restrooms were accessible and clean Lots of souvenir stores We had a great time!!

We went here for a little mini golf on a nice day. They have 3 nicely designed courses as well as a bunch of other things kids would enjoy. You could spend a nice day here and have a few laughs.

We had a good family time because it wasn't crowded at all. The place needs a lot of maintenance. Everywhere I look, there is something that needs to be replaced or repaired. Lots of safety issues.

Well it was $30. To enter and get on the rides .extra to play mini golf and games. Food was $10-15 a plate but was quit good for an amusement park. We got the BBQ ribs and chicken.

This place was a ton of fun for the little one's. I do not recommend eating at Al's BBQ. We had an issue. They did not have the souvenir cups put together. The cashier let us know she would get them going but it would be a few minutes, she would call us up. She never did. We were the first one's in to order. Ordered 5 souvenir cups, 3 orders of carne asada fries and 1 cheese pizza. 2 of the fries came out, still no drinks. We even watched the same cashier whom had taken our order use them for people whom or

The place is not so expensive and Cool rides for the kids, many of then we're out of service that day but we still had a good time...

Such a pretty little park. Enough good dry & wet rides to enjoy the day there & went on a weekday so zero waiting in lines. Reasonable prices too.

Inexpensive, wide variety of rides, and large miniature golf course. However, park opens at 11 but food and majority of the rides didn't open until almost 2. At 5pm there was a considerable amount still closed. Overall, the kids liked it way more than scandia and you can't best the price. It was also very clean and friendly staff.

We love this place... my kids love it and my 2 year old can get in almost all the rides as long as an adult rides with her unlike other place in Ontario (no names) but anyway this place is great my Dad and hubby went in for free on Father's day with the purchase of a regular admission.

Great place for the price to let the kids play and Kevin always roaming around he's friendly if you are getting some rest on top the icee bar...

Drove out on the 91E to Riverside area to check this place out. We only really wanted to play miniature golf. We ended up paying 10$ for parking, then leaving. I checked with Google maps that 10$ parking is pretty slim as they have expanded quite a bit. We walked from the far side of the parking back to the enterence check the ticket prices out. Parking was pretty full. Also, when we passed the pump area for Buccaneers Cove some weird loud warning alarm was going off, unsettling. TIP *** The one driveway en

Visit with the family to celebrate one of our kids birthday on a weekend. Lots of activities to do, their golf courses are big, but we had a couple malfunctions with some of the holes, but nothing that could not be fixed. The spaceship game need to be cleaned since the smell can be a deterant to ride it again. The employees were nice, some of them being focused on making the visit more enjoyable. The food is very expensive and the portions small, so try to bring your own snacks, specially with small kids a

I visited with 6 of my family members. Disappointed, literally about half of the rides were not working, and the ones working were not age appropriate for my kid (36 to 47 inches), she only got on 2 rides which was the train and the cars near the train. What a waste of money.

We had a great time playing mini golf. It's been a really long time since I have been. It wasn't too crowded. A real family oriented atmosphere here at the park. You will have to pay $10 for parking but ots gated and a security guard is walking around the lot. There are lots of shade trees in the lot too. The mini golf was about $15 each and we had a choice of 4 courses. The courses were pretty well maintained but a few had some rough looking carpet that could be fixed. Each hole was unique and they had

This place was so worn down. Filled with lots of sun-damaged paint, and plastics. I wish they kept up with the place. The flying saucer ride was... slightly traumatizing ??

Great place for a family to visit Loved that it was not too big and we were able to see it all in a day Very affordable We went midweek and it was not busy at all, lines were short , a min or two of wait Food inside was great

Had fun with my 3 year old she had a blast with plenty of rides for kids and some for me also .. costume contest and at night it turned into castle dark that was also awesome with safe zones for smaller kids..

Honestly a great place to just hang out and be a kid again without breaking the bank. Plus mini golf! I had a wonderful time and it seems cleaned up a lot more since the last time I had been. Still very old. Food is kinda meh here as well. But as an adult going with other adults... I give it a good review for being a neat local hang out.

We love Castle Park! We get the season passes when they are half price during Christmas season. Who doesn't like Pizza Hut Pizza served there. We can have play dates all year long!
