Really cool and a great piece of local history. They did a good job to preserve it. Only knock is it’s pretty expensive for 20-30 minutes. If you haven’t gone it’s well worth it.

Worth going at least once just for the experience. Gets boring pretty quickly.

Its so fascinating to see art from oolite limestone. Its in Florida. And nearby also a good hotel too. If you stay there for a day or two you should go to the museum and as much and go for a tour.

There was so much to see and explore . we really enjoyed it. My family lives out there and they had never been there. I guess it took us out of towners to get them to go. It really is quite a site.plus they also had some interesting plants and flowers which was very pretty to see. Oh and the largest Valentine is there so cute. Will have to go again next time we visit.

What an amazing place!! Unless you see it in person, you would not believe it. Beautifully maintained by current owners. Very clean, easy to walk, guided tours are very well organized. If you get tired or too warm depending on Floridas weather, there are many comfortable seats scattered around in the shade on the premises to sit down. You will find it hard to understand how a 5 foot tall, 100 pound man could build this castle by himself! How did he lift these heavy, (some pieces weigh 5000 tons), coral rocks, much less carve them, design them and stack them. Why did Ed Liedskalnins from Latvia build this place? On the night before his wedding to Agnes Scuffs, her mother forbid him to marry her daughter because of their age difference and that he was not good enough. Heartbroken, 26 year old Ed left Latvia for Canada and eventually came to Florida to build the Coral Castle for his love and hope that she would come to him in America to live with him. To find out the rest of the story, you need to visit this beautiful, intriguing place. Easy parking, gift shop, vending machines for cool drinks available. We hated to leave and after the tour, we spent more time on our own exploring the beautiful grounds.

Very cool; especially after seeing it on ancient aliens.. place is smaller than youd imagine, but way cooler! Probably due to the great staff and that you can touch and take pics of/with everything!! very kid-friendly, as there were a few on my tour, having a blast! i mean, wth else are you going to do in Homestead?

Seriously interesting place with an interesting story. Quite far out of the way but if you find yourself heading to the keys Id recommend a quick stop. The staff and tour guides are very polite and will answer any questions you have. Great experience.

The history is very rich and the staff is very friendly and the guide has a lot of knowledge of the place and are very friendly. Very nice place to visit when you are around if you are a history lover because there are hardly any highly historic places around. After half hour of the guided tour, we strayed away from the group and walked around and explored every corner. Its really an amazing accomplishment if Ed built it all on alone! The reason I gave four stars is because I think the admission is a little expensive.

Lots of fun! So unique with great informational & enthusiastic tour guides. Loved being able to touch & interact with nearly everything in the whole place. Great for families.

Went many years ago. Very interesting how this man figured out physics and built this place all by himself with somehow using pulleys, the law of physics, gravity ropes and chains to place tons of weight into a mini coral castle.Sadly closed due to COVID-19.

What an interesting place! The grandkids found it interesting, too. Remember, you live in South Florida or visiting, so you need to keep hydrated, wear a hat, dress approximately; this is an outdoor venue. I would definitely go there again. Price is reasonable. I even saw a yoga or meditation class occurring there.

Its a quirky roadside attraction. Not a destination unto itself but a fun place to stop off for an hour if youve got the time. I thought the $18 price tag was a bit steep considering its fairly small. However, if youre into odd stuff and curiosities, I would give it a go anyway. The tour is fun and informative and will leave you surprised at some of the things one man was able to accomplish. Youll be outside in the sun for close to an hour, so wear sunscreen when you visit.

Great place to visit! It is amazing that such a little man built this home out of Coral Rock for a woman he never actually won over. All done by hand without any equipment. How on earth did he move a 2000lb piece and make it into a revolving door that you can push open with one finger? Go check it out!

What an interesting place. Try to go on a cooler day if possible. Was 72 degrees the day we went, and it was perfect. Such an interesting place and story. They have continuous looping guided tours, so you can jump into the tour at any time and stop any any time. Just loop around until you get to where you started. Also a pretty cool little gift shop.

A real outdoor museum. This unique historical place has a lot to say. Even if it’s smaller than I expected and a little overpriced I found it nice to visit. There is a special energy there. We spent there about 1 hour and didn’t really enjoyed the tour as the guide was quite unprofessional, but overall we had a good experience!

I loved the idea of this place before coming here. Those who are not into this, stone masson art and the mystery... find something else to do. To call it a tourist trap is crazy. Are you that gullible enough to buy the shell necklace...or the magic beans... thats on you. It was $19/adult...worth the time and effort the team puts in to telling you the story of this place and the man who made it. It was smaller than I thought, but after the tour we walked around on our own and went into the sleeping quarters and saw the tools used to create this place. Its great to behold.It was hot as hell out when we went, so heads up if the heat is an issue for you. They have complimentary umbrellas to shade yourself, use em.It was worth every penny...because I am one of those people who love the concept, history and mystery.So get over yourselves, adults choosing to spend money then calling it a trap...lmao.

There is no such thing as self guided tour. The price was much higher than what it was supposed to be. Instead of $12 for self guided tour it was $20 guided. But our guide was very knowledgeable and we did not regret visiting. Somehow I wish I could get to know Ed.

A look at the unique creation of one man and his vision. Fascinating and well worth the tour. Almost like visiting a real life Flintstone. All in our party enjoyed it. Do yourself a favor and spend a little time at the Coral Castle.

A must see, great tour guides who are well informed. Tour was a unexpected part that was well needed. Recommend to everyone young and old.

A unique one of a kind place. Guided tour included. Easy no fee parking.

Ok it was made to be a tourist trap. Made by some old immigrant to make money and it’s still going. Cost a bunch to see. Maybe the size of a large city yard. Without getting tour, would take you 15 minutes to walk through. The stories are a bit out there, many are theories. Cool that one man could make the place and if you got money to throw away, might want to check it out.

Spectacular feats of engineering and design. Definitely worth a stop in to see all of the amazing rock creations that still exist after all the years after being built!

On my bucket list for a decade, the story, the rocks, the sense of wonder and awe at what this petite man was able to accomplish and all for love that never lasted. Quite a story and a nice detour from touristy Miami.

Its hard enough to find and see from the road. Not particularly interesting exposure. But the aura of the museum is supported. Spend excursions. There are descriptions in different languages. As usual, a gift shop. You can visit to dilute your beach vacation.

In case you happen to be into weird attractions like I am Coral Castle is worth a visit. The tickets are slightly price though for what you get. Id still go again just because now I know the story behind Billy Idols Sweet Sixteen and thats absolutely priceless.

Fun, iconic place! Visited this place with my friend who was so excited to see it and it’s worth the long drive. Load up on kitschy souvenirs and take lots of pics your friend will be so jealous!

We stopped in about an hour before they closed up shop and caught up with a tour. The guides seemed educated and friendly! The grounds are beautiful and intriguing. It started raining and they gave us all umbrellas for no charge, but had to send us on our way due to nearby lightning. Great crew working here and a very interesting site of Florida history

This well organized and unusual attraction was a delight after a long day on the near-by Florida Keys. It wasnt crowded. What a relief. Additionally, the interesting story of a small man who mysteriously builds this stone structure almost singlehandedly about 100 years ago was delivered by a very articulate and friendly person. But maybe the best part was that it is a pet friendly facility and the poodle was included! He just loves tours.

It doesn’t worth time and $20 entrance fee. Tour guides just tell you stories that they can sell. It would be much more interesting to see the techniques that the author used to build the “castle”, but unfortunately, they will tell that he levitated the blocks. You have to do your own research to find some real information. By the way, THE GATES DO NOT RORATE!

I have to say, I wasnt too sure about visiting this place but it was pretty neat. The Coral Castle is made by one man who had a vision and quite a bit of engineering know how. I was amazed at some of the stones and what it took to engineer and place them, all without modern equipment. The tour guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and was eager to tell as much as he could about the place. Definitely worth the time

This is worth the time and money. Im glad we took the time to stop. Great place to spend a few hours. Id love to have a wedding here. They do rent it!

At first glance it is hard to appreciate Coral Castle, but then upon learning the stories behind the structures and how Ed hand carved each 6+ ton slab of rock. When you consider that he lived in rustic Florida having no electricity and no modern machinery, he manually excavated each block. This 5 foot tall man with a 4th grade education then moved them, placed them and shaped them.He had everything mathematically and astrologically aligned. He was truly amazing. And I am glad I had the opportunity to learn about his achievements.

Cool Location. Little bit small, but we had a great guide how told us the story about Coral Castle. Best guide every! Perfect place for nice pictures without a palm

Was an interesting place. Solved a lot of questions about how he moves bolders that weighed thousands of pounds. It also tells of why he built the place in the first place. The things some people will do for love. If your in the neighborhood, it would be interesting to see and learn all about this.

This is a super cute place to stop if you are staying in the area or driving down to the keys. There is a tour included with admission. Our tour guide Willy was super cool and funny. The tour is super informative. The love story is about Ed and Agenus who was his sweet 16. Its amazing the things Ed accomplished without using machinery.

This place is truly amazing. I had wanted to visit it since seeing it featured on the show Ancient Aliens on the history channel. It was a nice drive through the Everglades to get down to coral castle. Our tour guide was great, super knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was very informative and we got to explore the park freely as well. The gift shop had some nice items and lots of literature regarding coral castle and the creator/builder, Edward Leedskalnin. I would definitely go back again if I ever find myself in the area and I would recommend this place to others. It’s super cool!

Had a great time. The builder was definitely an interesting person. The tour guides are excellent. So much to learn. they also have a really cute gift shop. Cant believe he did it all himself.

This place is great, such a beautiful love story. Ive taken all my friends and relatives here whenever weve visited southern Florida. The only bummer- the price has gotten a bit too high -$18!

Definitely worth the stop. $20 is a bit pricey, but to see interesting and intriguing aspects of this place are worth it. The guides do a great job in explaining all theories and aspects of how this was constructed. The man behind the building, Edward, was a strange man and a little too obsessed with his 16 yo love but hey that’s what makes this place intriguing.

Dont expect a castle, but an interesting place built by one man, a visionary, in the beginning of the twentieth century using the power of his mind, hands and tools available at that time. Worth visiting!

Either youre going to love this place, or you are going to say what did I come here for?. As for us we like the mystery. There are other places like this come, for instance the mole of Fresno California, But this one is right up there with its Combination of mystery and grandeur; 20 ton rock slabs and more lifted with a 10 ton block and tackle, please explain exactly how that works. The multiple ton swinging gate that lasted for so many years, needed a huge Crane to make a small adjustment and then froze up just a few years later. How is that precision done in the time period that this place was created. This man had a 4th grade, formal education, created a pair of rocks that allow one to sight the North Star. He also created a Sundial that Tracks time even as the Sun moves through its annual cycle through the seasons. For the curious and inquiring mind there is a lot to contemplate here, for anyone who has an idea of what it takes to construct a place like this place, alone, at night.The grounds have been improved somewhat in the 7 years since we last visited. Perhaps that is just the time of year so certain plants are in blossom, and they offer a Stark contrast to the rock. We ran out of time, or may have stayed longer.

Enjoyed the conversation and history regarding how coral castle came to be. Did one person really build this castle all on his own? Or a time traveller? You will have to come and see to find out the truth.

Very interesting story behind it.I think its more of a curious man that has an obsession, rather than some aliens helping him build the castle, antigravity, etc.Still, it shows a human can accomplish when they put their mind to something.

Very cool place! You can come and go throughout the day with the purchase of admission. It is not the largest area but there is a lot of history here.

An... Interesting experience. Not quite worth the money, but the tour is very detailed and not too bad. Bot a bad way to spend an hour and a half, although I would definitely bring sunscreen.

Very very cool!!! Definitely worth checking out! Its a very interesting story well a mystery/love story actually so even if the thought of seeing stuff carved out of coral doesnt seem interesting believe me it is very very very cool definitely check it out

Fun & amazing! Continuous tour guides which keep things moving & they really seem to know their information. All staff is friendly & considerate price is $18 per adult which seems a bit high but completely worth it if you enjoy history. Bathrooms are clean, they have beverage available for a small fee & you dont have to wait in line.

Ive wanted to go here for years. It did not disappoint. So much to see and learn. Not an all-day place. The man was amazing. Go see for yourself!

Place really makes you wonder how one small man could accomplish something like this.

Went there and had a wicked time! Amazing team there and great atmosphere. Had lots of fun roaming around the grounds. This made a great date with my girl. I have geeked out about Eds technique for a while and it was refreshing to see his artifacts from the tool room. Make sure to check out his flywheel! Anyone bored by this experience does not understand how ed made the castle.

This place is very mysterious place. Dont bother with the bs tour, as they will try to convince you that a man did this simply. When the way they came to be is a true mystery. Take your time and dont waste your time with the tour. A must if visiting the FL keys.

Fantastic story about one man and this incredible feet to build and move and rebuild this true Coral Castle. Absolutely beautiful. Free parking - $18 per adult with guided tour.

Ever since I saw a special about this place on TV I wanted to check it out. Finally got the chance and I was not disappointed. Its amazing that a skinny 5 foot man was able to build this. I do have to say the special I watched left out he had cutting tools, pulleys and was a experience stone mason. I found the staff to be extremely knowledge and friendly. This place has to be on your bucket list!

Would highly recommend coming here. I didnt have very high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. The history and background of the whole place is interesting to say the least. The staff was super friendly and the tour was very well out together.

This place is shrouded in mystery, many stories and theorys on how it was constructed. I saw an episode of ancient aliens and had to come see for myself. Was mind blowing.

Beautiful limestone gardens with an intriguing story to follow. $20 to get in and includes a tour. You can get great photos here.

Great place and retreat from the bustle of the urban. Pretty intriguing story and still scratching my head how one man can move such large objects. All I have to say is electromagnetics.

Very interesting and VERY expensive. The story behind the builder was intriguing. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The structures are very cool.

Very interesting place with a sad, but fascinating love story. Absolutely worth seeing and taking advantage of the guided tour. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing with lots of fun stories and jokes while also providing plenty of historic information. Beautiful coral sculptures and buildings and even a very special sun dial clock/calendar. My only disappointment was lack of items in the gift shop. Since the original creator was from Latvia and most of our party was Latvian decent we were hopefull to find some Latvian items in the gift shop and maybe some Latvian snacks or beverages at the snack bar!!!

What an amazingly interesting place to check out! Went on New Years Day- not busy, and took lots of pictures. Fascinating!

Coral Castle has been on Ripleys Believe It or Not. The Discovery Channel and other well-known television shows. If youre in the area this is a must-see we had excellent tour guides with great knowledge. The price was $18 for adults the tour was around 45 minutes. You can take pictures but they dont allow video. Coral Castle is a wonder of the world the man who built it was a mason with great knowledge. More picture on my website at (livefreeandgo)

The tour is very well done. The information is plentiful and interesting and you havevplenry of time to explore the property. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. A member of our party was in a motorized chair and all of the staff, not just our guide, were very attentive to ensure our family got the full experience.

Coral Castle is an awesome and beautiful experience. I have always wanted to come here since I saw it in an episode of In Search Of as a kid. It definitely lived up to expectations and impressed me. It was great to see it in person and feel the power and presence of this creation. The tour was great and informative as you get some of history and background on Ed. I liked being able to to explore the castle and being able to climb over everything. Everything about it was amazing and incredible. This is worth the visit.

What a amazing imagination so many years ago ... to think of all of that living out of coral rock and one man did this is absolutely astonishing!!!!

Amazing place $18 to get in and you get a tour arround the place with a tour guide explaining you the whole story about the castle and the man who built it. They have free parking, a nice coffee shop and a gift shop. A must see when you visit homestead! My kids had a blast ( 6, 4 and 2) and me and my frieds too

Our guide was Willy and let me tell you he was fun to listen to. He led us around the Castle showing us the features of the place and its history, engaging with the group - especially the kids. Coral Castle is more interesting than I thought it would be. The continuous guided tours are well done and add to the experience. I wont tell anything that will give away what a visitor will see but I will say that its pretty amazing what one man and his obsession can accomplish.

No place like it in North America or constructed as recently as this. Its a modern marvel and wonder of the world. If you have concerns about the entry fee you should probably be prepared to wait outside a while if the rest of your party wants to go in!

Cool place to visit. The one tour guide was trying way too hard to make jokes and smart comments. Most of us want to see the place based on what we have seen on tv, so let us enjoy and let the castle speak for itself. Was cool to see the ingenuity and design elements first hand.

The ticket price is 18 per person include tour. The staff was nice and friendly. The coral architecture was outstanding. However, it seems very small. I recommend that they may adjust ticket price to with and without tour. It would be better for second visiting customer.

Very interesting place to visit but overpriced. I would not recommend going at the current pricing. $18 a person is a bit high in my opinion.

I love this place. I love the history behind the place and how is kept so well maintained. The tour guide explains all of detail on how this amazing place was build by one man for the love of his life.

Amazing piece of history with its own unique set of wonders and mystery. Admission includes a free tour and is extremely informative into the life of the castles creator. Easy way to kill a couple of hours if you wish to discover a piece of history still standing.

Wow...just wow. This place not only has a cool story it is also mysterious and romantic.

Amazing back story doesnt begin to describe the rich and storied history here. Everyone should visit and learn of this mans unbelievable life. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable and love sharing with everyone that is willing to listen. Thank you to all the staff that made our experience so wonderful

Well worth the visit. Coral Castle is such an unusual place, seemingly simple in its structure, yet an engineering and physics marvel apparently referred to as the Stonehenge of the US. I was most taken with the tour guides and I highly recommend two things: First, check out You Tube for the older videos of Coral Castle to see what its all about; and second, start up a conversation with a tour guide while there and ask lots of questions. They are incredibly knowledgeable. If the engineering and physics aspect doesnt appeal to you, the love story behind it, Billy Idol video filmed there, or reports of paranormal happenings might.

What a remarkable creation the Coral Castle is! All one man’s labor for (unrequited) love, and still a mystery how he accomplished it. Our tour guide, Andrea, was wonderful—heartfelt enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for the place. We thoroughly enjoyed the hour+ we spent here. It was well worth the money to learn about such a unique person—Ed Leedskalnin—and his life’s creative and beautiful work.

I loved visiting this place again.. Its so peaceful And beautiful.

Amazing place to discover in Miami. All the mystery surrounding this place is definitely very interesting.

Very interesting place. The history behind the castle is quite intriguing. Makes for a fun day tour. The kids enjoyed the tour was well - our guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun to learn from.

Pricey, but amazing tour and such a cool thing to see and think about how one tiny Latvian man could build something with such simple tools

I had seen a documentary on this place only recently on the Discovery channel, so it was a treat to be able to visit the place myself.Apparently it is still a mystery how the chap managed to move all the massive stone blocks by himself with only a basic wooden crane tripod.The gift shop has quite a selection of things. There is a fridge full of drinks and ice creams (pay first in the shop).There are unbrellas to shield yourself from the sun.The guides are very knowledgable.The place is quite small but having took the tour you are free to wander around and have a look at the various artifacts yourself.

Very cool place to visit and see the marvels of this place.

It is a beautiful place with passionate guides. But the admission fee is really high, $18, for a little place like that. The price indeed makes me doubt it is worthy.

Ive never been there but it does look cool but reason why I am giving this a 1 star instead of 4 is because Ive been hearing about Florida sueing Fortnite just because fortnite added coral castle which I am a fortnite player but anyway i saw both images of coral castle Florida and fortnite which by the looks of it looks nothing alike because Im pretty coral castle in Florida probably does not have a mink castle in the middle of it which fortnites coral castle it has water falls around it and it also has little water ponds so I am writing this review towards this place and Florida. So Florida do not Sue fortnite over this ok, they both look nothing and I know they stole your name but they just look nothing alike.

First the structure is amazing and second Ken and Jim, the tour guides, are fun and personable and make the tour very interesting.

Cool, historic and creepy all rolled into one.

Really interesting! Well worth a trip. Take the guided tour to learn of all the intricacies and hidden stuff. Free masons, aliens and what not!

A must-see place in Florida!!! It is very well-maintained and the guide tour is educational. The gift shop stuffs are a little expensive ( $10 for a magnet) but nevertheless, I will recommend this place!

This place is so fascinating and the employees are so nice! You can probably find a coupon online too. It gets really hot but they have umbrellas to block the sun that are free to borrow! You cannot take video on the tour only photos.

Florida is a state known for its kooks, weirdos and eccentrics. Coral Castle is one of those places that makes Florida remarkable. A mystery? Or just evidence of what one man can do when he sets his mind to it. Far more than a tourist trap, a bit of real Florida history. Worth the drive and the tour guides make the place come to life.

One of the most interesting places in Florida.

I think this is one of THE wonders of the World & is hardly known about. The things Ed Leedscalnin did with his knowledge of frequency & the physics involved to move these huge objects are pretty much unknown to most people. A worthwhile adventure for anyone or family outing! 5 STARS!

Very Interesting! The story behind this place is amazing and the tour guide that we had was extremely knowledgeable. Great way to spend an hour or so. I have never seen anything quite like this and it is definitely worth the stop. The best part...it’s dog friendly! Highly recommend!

Very neat, the tour guide was extremely talented in her explanations of how and why this little guy made this castle out of coral.

Nice placeBut you need to protect yourself from the sun.Go prepared with liquids and hat.

So many interesting facts at this historical site. Its a guided tour so be prepared to stay for an hour or so. Cute little gift shop but pricey.

If you love nature and natural art this place is worth seeing. Its amazing to see the work of one man carving various items out of natural sea coral. Beautiful work and talented artist Ed from Latvia.

Amazing attraction! Youll have to see it in person to truly enjoy it. Beautifully maintained by its current owners. Its very clean here, easy to navigate and well organized.

Interesting sights to see here. Great story behind the castle too!

Wow incredible place full of mystery, first of all i highly recommend bug spray before you come here because there is lots of annoying bugs flying around, now the place itself is something to behold, you get a nice tour explaining all the design of the rocks all around the area and the history behind it, they are going to tell you a single person build the place but comon guys lets be real it was definitely aliens that put those stones there.
