Castle Park - Fairground in Riverside - 3500 Polk St, USA

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 memories. Additionally, Castle Park hosts the Castle Dark event, featuring a few spooky mazes that are especially appealing to kids who are starting to embrace the Halloween season. I would like to express my gratitude to Castle Park for providing an affordable theme park experience for families to enjoy for many more years to come. While some areas may require attention, the overall value and fun factor of this park make it a worthwhile visit.

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 progressed unfortunately four rides were down for maintenance. When me and my husband went on a Friday night all the lines were short definitely not as many people like we thought their would be which is understandable since most people are tired from the long work week. All the rides were open this time as well. Basically if you want some amusement park fun with your family or friends and don't have a lot of money or feel like spending a lot of money or driving out to far, Castle Park is the place to go. Just keep in mind it is just a small amusement park. All in all had a good time

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 little long and I would've liked to see a sit-down family restaurant near the mini golf course, but we enjoyed our time and will come back when in the area.

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 have something. Overall, we will be going back again🩵

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...

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.

This place was fun! The gentlemen working the mini golf counter at 5pm 1/5/24 could use a customer service refresher that is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. They failed to mention that groups of 12 or more could save about 80 bucks and when we asked to refund the first of our group to pay he said they couldn't refund. Of course that changed when we asked to speak to a manager. So for everyone, groups of 15 (he was mistaken and told us 12) get a group discount rate fyi.

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 cars.
