Castles N' Coasters

I LOVE this place! I been going here for years! It is a small park, but fun to just go and hang out for the day. Better than Driving all the way to Six Flags in Cali just to stand in line for 5 hours for one ride. Lines do not take long at all, and the rides are fun. Golf is always a good time and after reading these other reviews I would highly recommend going...you cant judge the park by other kids' "bad" language. GIVE IT A TRY!

I've been going to Castles ~n~ Coasters since I was a kid. Yes, the area has changed but Castles ~n~ Coasters has remained the same. The cost is cheaper than dinner and a movie, all day ride band for I think $24. They have a Six Flags style roller coaster called 'Desert Storm' with two loops! Bumper boats, bumper cars, a mini roller coaster, a log water ride, and plenty of rides in between. Sure the kids are obnoxious with their potty mouths and inappropriate clothes. That's not C ~n~ C's fault, it's called bad/uncaring parenting folks. The park is easier to get through than the state and county fair, less line time PLUS the rides last more than a minute.

After reading negative reviews I was hesitant on going but I am glad I did go and not listen to previous reviews. The place was not dirty- just old but what do you expect it is mini golf not exactly a modern day entertainer. The staff were resonable- they are teenagers what did you expect! I would recommend this place to anyone with an open mind for fun!

The few times we have been to Castle's and Coasters have not been some of the best experiences. Maybe its the time we're going, maybe I'm missing something. This place should be a blast for the family, but each time we've gone we've been so overwhelmed by the bad element attending we've left. On one occassion, a child who was maybe 9 years old at best was throwing ice cubes at patrons passing by on go-karts and dropped the "F" bomb every other word. Ideally this place should be somewhere that I would want to take my kids, but I just can't say that about Castle's and Coasters based on my past experiences.

Its a nice place for kids and adults to enjoy alike. Small kids love the carousel and mini rides while teenagers love the roller coaster and the free fall. There is also mini golf to amuse yourself to. The castle looks pretty, a miniature version of the Disney castle. There are good hotdogs, popcorns, fries and cold drinks available inside the park at moderate prices

Its a nice place to treat your kid for getting a good grade or as a birthday treat. There are a variety of rides including a roller coaster and the free fall. They also have water rides and miniature golfs. Bashas and some stores often sell the tickets at half price on special occasions and that makes it very affordable for treat., The shops there serve nice popcorns, hotdogs and drinks and this can be a fun getaway for the whole family.

PROS: Affordable, Variety of rides
CONS:

This mini-amusement park is right outside the Metro Center Mall, visible from the 17 highway. There are lots of fun things to do here. I suppose the main reason that people come here is for their miniature golf course. But they also have a roller coaster, go carts, and a huge arcade filled with all styles of games from all time-periods. This is a fun place to go. It can be a bit dirty here and could probably use a makeover at some point soon, but it is a fun place to go to in Phoenix.

PROS: big arcade
CONS: a little dirty

This about averate mini golf course is about average. The par 2's are fairly easy, but there are a few par three's that will challenge you. The price is not too bad for this location, but not the cheapest around either. You will have some fun on this course if you have a good group with you, so don't avoid it, just don't seek it out.

I have been going here for years, they have nice courses to chose from, but I dont think it is a family type place anymore.

The area is not a good one, and they dont keep up the outside area clean and have a ton of trash all around it.

If you go you should go during the day when it is safer and you can better enjoy your time with your family, as evening comes, it is more crowded and tons of teenagers.

This park charges an arm and aleg to get in but their rides are so lame you can get though doing all of them in like two hours tops. The arcade is stupid and their "best" roller coaster is lame beyond lame. You could sleep though it even if you went on it twenty times in a row. i would not recommend this park to anyone because it is so boring and pointless.

This is by far the best park we have in this area. They have min golf,bumper cars and even a roller coster. The kids love to go here and I enjoy watching them have the fun. Their prices are pretty reasonable and normally you can even find coupons online. i would suggest you take your kids here.

Castles N Coasters is a nice place for family and friends. My friend found this place on the internet and got us all $5 off coupons. They've got good rides but off course, nothing compares to those big theme parks. The Sky Diver ride blew me away and the Desert Storm roller coaster ride literally killed my voice.

Typically go here whenever visitors come from out of town for a fun non-drinking evening out. 4 Mini-golf courses to choose from. Great deal when you can find 2 for 1 coupons! Courses seem to be recently redone, which is great since the last time we had visited they were looking pretty shabby! There are tons of restaurants around the Metrocenter area, so this makes a great alternative to the typical movie after dinner. The arcade inside has lots to choose from new games and retro. Pinball and air hockey too. Can get a bit crowded and noisy on Friday/Saturday nites.

This is a great place that kids will have fun at. There are rides, mini golf, and arcade games. It's the best amusement park in the area. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is that you should expect something as great as Disney Land. It's a nice park for our area.

PROS: fun rides
CONS: not as fancy as Disney

This place is so fun. They have it all..arcade games, mini golf, roller coasters, log rides, food, bumper boats, karts...everything. The prices are pretty good. You can buy an all day park pass (or pay for each ride seperatly, is you only want to ride a couple) The employees are really nice. The arcade games are in an air conditioned two story building. There is every game you can imagine. As well as some other non-arcade games. The whole place is huge. I miss this place, I now live in NV

And thats not the best thing outside they got tons of rides for young and old and mini golf course on the side. so if you like fun or at least the kids do go there!

PROS: huge
CONS: long lines, needs more air conditioning for the ddr freaks

This place has a great minigolf course as well as a rollercoaster and log flume among other things. The courses are well designed and imaginative with fun volcanoes and trap doors etc. The roller coaster is a bit jolty but fun and the log flume is great but you get very wet. Well worth a trip.

PROS: Minigolf courses
CONS:

This mini amusement park is fun. My favorite is the Go karts. The roller coaster is still a thrill even after the many times i Have been on it! The arcade is alright not to much excitement there. The miniature golf is fun too. Th log ride is pretty cool in the summer heat. You can get an allday ride pass for 13 bucks at frys!

This place is a lot of fun for kids and adults. They have 4 minigolf courses to choose from that are each a lot of fun. They have several rides for adults, kids and toddlers. They have a small game zone with video games too. Overall is a fun place to spend a day or night at. Prices are reasonable if you get the all ride/ golf wristband but if you buy rides indivually then will cost a lot more.

A great place for kids to go in the summer. They have a few big rides for the older kids, they have tons of games, and they even have a small golf course. The golf course is usually the most packed.

Been here many times- the last trip was rather disappointing. Took daughter there for her birthday and they had the park closed down due to a private party. There was no indication of this on their recording. Mad for a sad evening. Otherwise it is a fun place for kids to go. Prices run a little high.

We have gone there to play miniature golf and play the video games many times and really had a great fun! It looks like it has recently been renovated and it really made it look great and makes it look newer.We have been going there for years.I really don't care about going on rides,but there are a lot of people that do enjoy them and that is fine for them.The employees are very nice and we have never had any complaints there.

I take my niece and nephew there at least once every month or so. They love it. The rides are fun but not dramatic, and the game room is a big hit. The second floor has the best games.

It has everything from roller coasters to miniature golf. They have great prices, and coupons to make your experience even better. It's a great place for kids or adults! It's easy to spend a whole day here. They have many attractions including bumper boats, you wont be disapointed if you decide to spend a day here.
