Family fun has been the name of the game at Castle Park for more than four decades. It was built, owned and operated by Bud Hurlbut, who also designed attractions for Knott’s Berry Farm, Santa’s Village and other amusement parks elsewhere in California and the U.S. At Castle Park, there are four 18-hole mini golf courses surrounded by fountains, rapids and waterfalls (illuminated by 4,000 lights after dark). The Prince and Princess courses are geared toward beginners and children, while the Duke and Merlin courses are more challenging. Mini golf lessons are available. The arcade features video games that range from classic to modern, as well as Skee-Ball, air hockey tables and more. Over at the ride park, there is a wide assortment of attractions, such as roller coasters (Merlin’s Revenge, Screamin’ Demon), bumper cars, rides (Dragon Flyer, Fireball) and midway games. Parents can check the website for intensity levels and height requirements. The circus tent-themed Big Top Restaurant hosts kids’ parties and illusionist shows by Anthony the Magic. Recently, the Castle transitioned to an electronic payment system to expedite entry. During summer months, the Buccaneer Cove water playground offers varying levels of water play, five water slides, interactive aqua domes, spray cannons, spray loops and cylinder spray fountains.
