Took my 4 year old here. We were very far apart from everyone else. Gotta reserve a time and they scan your tickets for mini golf when you get there. They also check temperatures as you walk in, and require masks be worn. I was happy with it, and my daughter loved it!

Mini golf was fun. People are respectful of social distancing. We didnt even have anyone waiting in the hole behind us which was good because we sure did need the extra time to get all of our balls in and point at all the fun decorations. Next time I want to go during the day because we kept losing our balls.

My kids wanted to golf the big castle, which was course #3. Pro: It was nice to go out in the cool of the day and play a round of golf with my kids ages 7 and 8. Con: I should have brought bug repellent for the mosquitoes. Pro: not crowded on a Wednesday evening. Con: the water features were all drained which was not very pretty. Pro: when our golf ball went into the drink, we got it back easily. Con: some of the greens need to be repaired. But that didnt bother me too much. Honestly, the whole place could use a face-lift, but dont get me wrong, we had fun and got our moneys worth.

I have been trying to get ahold of the owner or a manager by leaving a few voicemails at different areas by calling your phone number but I have yet to hear back from anyone. The last voicemail I left was under Human Resources and I would like to speak with someone please. Thank you so much.

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.

We went right after the Santa Ana winds came through. The courses were covered with leaf and other debris. The couses are old and could use some TLC. With the pandemic I can see that it may not be worth the investment. We did have a fun time and it was nice to do something different! Be sure to book a time online before going. You need a mask and they take temps as you go in.

With Corona shutting places down its been harder to find things to do. My girlfriend and I were so shocked at how cheap it was for the 4 courses. Although we only played 1 course because we were on time restraint we are planning on coming back again really soon!Definitely give this place a go if you havent. I highly recommend it!

This is one of the worst experience Ive ever had. The haunted house was alright. The mimi golf course was infested with cockroaches and was very insanitary!!! On top of that they didnt let us eat food here even though we had pre-order food passes. And I almost forgot that they almost didnt let us go through there mediocre haunted house. The haunted house by my house is better and for free!!!! There was no social distancing and some of the employees were not wearing masks!!! I would definitely not recommend coming here!!!!?

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!

Review №24

Came here because they advertised that the arcade would be open.Instead they took like 5 games out in the yard and plugged them in and they arent even the good arcade games like guitar hero.Not worth it tbhEdited after castlepark reply:Nice lying. Any of you who read this and go to the castle park website and check under their available services.What does it say?It says arcade is open and one of their attractions.I dont know what this company gets by lying. Its pathetic. No wonder its a dying company.

Review №32

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.

I brought my grandkids here before Corona... They loved it and begged me to bring them back. They had a lot of fun with a miniature golf and the fact that they could go on a lot of the rides themselves

Review №34

Its ok. It reminded me more of a permanent carnival than a theme park. Rides where pretty old and it felt like there was so much going on in a small space. Also a lot of rides werent running either. I recommend this place if you have younger kids or really like mini golf (golf course is set up to have water fountains but theyre conserving water so their completely dried out which isnt aesthetically pleasing). They also have peacocks just walking around, that was pretty cool.

Review №35

Awesome way to kill some time. $10 for unlimited mini golf. 4 courses all with 18 holes each. There are a few holes being repaired but still a lot of fun. The arcade is $5 for an hour of video games. They also sell drinks and snacks.

Mini golf is INFESTED with critters. So many trails of ants, MULTIPLE flying cockroaches at almost every hole and spider webs with nasty spiders all over. I called to warm and inform them of the infestation we experienced and notify them that my son developed an infection after sustaining a spider bite there, but there has been to response or call back. They do not answer their phone. I am beyond disappointed that they allowed this place to get this disgusting.

Ive 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 theres so many positives. Its local, has rides for toddlers, teens, and adults, mini golf, arcade, carnival games, etc. Yes, theres a few things that may need attention but overall its a great place to go for a few hours, and I believe we should support a local attraction.Never had issues with staff, theyve always been friendly and helpful.

Castle Park is a great place and has a lot of history ... Unfortunately theres a lot of roaches / creepy people that go there , work there . Their goal is to ruin it for everyone else . Dont get me wrong ... About 98% of the people that go there are great .... Its the drama queens Im referring to ....... I hope the best for Castle and all the people that go there and work there ...... It is a fun place ........

Great place for younger kids. A lot like a permanent fair with the types of rides they have. Definitely wait to get the annual pass deal around Christmas if you are local to save a considerable amount of money. They also have good online deals if you are not a local to save money compared to getting tickets at the gate. They have a variety of different food and drink options from pizza hut to BBQ along with snacks like cotton candy and popcorn.

Im very happy they reopened, as my family has season passes. Im disappointed that they are not requiring you to properly use your mask. They flat out told us that we can wear our masks below our nose. ( which doesnt stop the spread of coronavirus) on my last visit there were large groups not wearing masks at all. In California its mandatory to wear a mask out. And Castle Park is not adhering to that requirement.

I havent been here in years. Went for a birthday party and I had a lot of fun getting on rides and eating amusement park food. Castle park is kind of a hidden jewel in Riverside. It really is a great place for a birthday party or just for some amusement park fun. They have rides, miniature golf, and an arcade. Its not the biggest or best amusement park but they have a nice variety of rides and things to do.

This place was a decent amusement park for the price. When you don’t want to spend two arms and a leg at Disneyland or go to the crowds of Knotts this place is a good option especially last minute. A few rides weren’t in operation so that was disappointing. The mini golf was fun as they have a few courses you can play. Some things on the courses are little run down and some upkeep is needed but you get what you pay for.

Typical Palace Entertainment at work. Lack of maintenance. My previous review below spoke of how Palace Entertainment does things on the cheap and doesnt 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 business.There is a little bit of everything at this park in Riverside. The miniature golf course is one by which others should be judged. It is really well designed. It is large, the props, animations and courses are interesting and fun. It is also very beautiful. Lots of water features, lots of palm trees. Even golfing at night here is fun. It is well lit. Castle Park also has an amusement park. There are smaller, fair-type rides here, though they are fun. The train is beautifully detailed. This park used to be privately owned and then transferred ownership to Palace Entertainment. Their management of parks is so-so and it is reflected in their general lack of maintenance. You can definitely tell the original parts of the park (which are well built and attractive) and the cheaper parts built by Palace. Food can be expensive. It is inexcusable that they charge for parking here. Also, the arcade (in the castle) that used to be one of my favorite places as a kid, is now a dirty, dingy, run-down shell with half of the games broken. Palace Entertainment has done a terrible job operating this place.

WONDERFUL FUN FOR WHOLE FAMILYBest place to spend summer vacation in the inland empire Great atmosphere with amazing staff members Wonderful place to take the kids to play in the water or mini golf play or try the arcade they also have a magic show and rides for all children.. great prices when you buy wristbands, this allows you to go back to your car you can keep your personal food because food in the park is not the cheapest but affordable you also pay for parking but cars are safe from what I saw when I visited. Love the splash area for hot days

Castle Park is still a really fun place to go to as far as the overall vibe, the rides a miniature golf its a fun place and a cheap place to take the family to for the day however do not I repeat do not eat the food there it is horrible and the food service employees have terrible attitudes towards the guest and each other not to mention how poor the food quality is I will never ever ever eat at the Big Top circus BBQ at Castle Park again they serve me and my family piss poor food the ribs were salty and cold the coleslaw taste sour we literally did not finish the meal and felt sick afterwards. Other than that it is still a really fun place to go just make sure you eat before you go. And if youre still hungry leave the park and go eat at one of the restaurants around the area and then come back or just eat when you leave they have a Cheesecake Factory right down the street from the park that is pretty good.

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 around, so you focus on getting fewer items.Ask for cheaper tickets if you bring along people who will not be using the rides, you will save a lot?

Her reply was it was corporate policy an was in her training! On top of all this they still charged full price 10 for parking 24$ for golf an rides when 7 rides down!

Took my girls out for mommy daughter day. We all had a great time. The height restrictions range from 36 to 54, and some were minimum 48 inches, so my 6 yr old could not go on a few. Was sad that 3 or 4 rides were closed, and looked so fun had they been available. Best classic rides were the tilt a whirl and scrambler.This mini park had so much to offer and great food options. We had deep fried oreos and fries, across the way was a bbq place that offered ribs, bbq chicken, and chicken strips. There were some fair type food and then Pizza hut which was a bit crowded. The arcade was nice, they require a fun card to play games.

Lost my keys here a while back. When I got home I realized they were missing and I called the park. They hadnt found anything so I called the next morning and they found my keys, held them for pickup, and returned them.The staff that helped me with my keys were incredibly kind and helpful, the ones in charge of the rides were fun and friendly, and the ones in the arcade area and concession stands were quick and easy to talk to.The food was kinda lame and expensive though. One of the mens bathroom stalls had a broken lock.Rides were fun and made me reach notes I never knew I could reach. Also they got this beautiful bird roaming around the park grounds.I enjoyed my time at Castle Park, I definitely recommend it to others.

Castle Park is definitely a place to purchase an annual pass. Once you purchased an annual pass, they give you about $50 worth of coupons equivalent to the cost of an annual pass. For example, free popcorn and a coupon to bring in a guest for free and free parking.

This place is so much fun! Big park for small prices. So much to do for ALL ages, the whole family honestly. The lines can get nutty but it’s to be expected. I will say some of the decor is super outdated but still has such gem intricacies . Id advise to always look and or purchase on their websites they usually have really good deals going on for weekends AND you can skip the ridiculous entrance lines but simply purchasing online. Easy. Friendly. Such a good family place! I could be here for days with the littles...

We had a fun time as a family, but the park was understaffed and the rides were broken down. Only saving grace was the fact that we got the holiday deal. For that price, it was a great night.
