What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally have a great time at Castles N' Coasters, praising the value of the arcade deals and the variety of attractions like mini-golf and go-karts. However, some disappointment arises when major rides are closed, and the summer heat can be a significant factor for outdoor activities. Staff attentiveness and ride availability are areas that could be improved for a consistently stellar experience.
"We had such a GREAT time that we came back the next day! Our group consisted of 4 adults, 1 teenager, and 1 kiddo. Awesome deal for arcade games, $10 for 2 hours! So many games to play from racing, pinball, redemption games (you just don't get tickets from the deal), and classics like Pac-Man. Mini Golf was fun, but so HOT outside. I wish more misters were placed throughout the courses. The rides were enjoyed by the family after 5pm with the wristband deal. So many snack bar options throughout the inside and outside of the amusement center. Decently priced. Overall, we all had an awesome time."

"Hard never been here before (well once as a child when we lived in S.D.) but it was actually a lot of fun. Most of the games were in working order. It was crowded, but not close to uncomfortable. My son is on the spectrum so this was a very huge deal for us. We went in the evening to try and beat the heat (didn't work was 105 at 8pm). The mini golf course was fun for my family. I believe I saw 4 different courses to play. Didn't do any of the big rides as we wanted more of a chill night. But, the prices are more than fair in my opinion and the food was actually rather good. I say food, we had church's shakes and icees. Definitely would recommend."
Justin Smith
"Fun simple place for kids under 12 years old.
Be smart BRING A COOLER AND LEAVEBIT IN THE CAR. Water bottle costs $4 each. Food is so so nothing special.
Allowed leave the park and come back. Plenty places close by to eat"
