We went to Mystery Castle on a Thursday after the West Virginia game in Tempe on the way home. From the time I got there I felt really weird. There was a Green witch in a chair, A hangmans noose with one knot out of 13 knots in Tombstone that someone removed because of superstitions. A stuffed doll that represented... more

I heard about the Mystery Castle online so planned a trip for my coworker and I as we were in Phoenix on business. We didn't have a lot of time to do other things like hot air balloon or Hummer tours, so we decided to check out the Mystery Castle since the reviews for it were good. The cab ride... more

We just visited the castle, and I can't wait to go back! It is not like San Simeon, in fact it is just the opposite, but just as enjoyable to visit. I was delighted to see something that I expected for Arizona. Open, air flowing, sun, desert, views, wildlife (not so abundant now that the homes and golf course are... more

I was a newbie to the Phoenix area and a friend came to visit. I had read about this place from different area guides. To be honest, when we first arrived there, it freaked me out...I got goosebumps because it just looks like you're going to be entering a haunted house or something like that. But, I kept in mind... more

A fun stop on the way to or on the way back from the drive to the top of South Mountain. Full of fun surprises and interesting local lore. Great photo ops! Look for a coupon in the Entertainment book. more

Everything is awesomely built... met the daughter, she had a rather collective and strange pieces of art work but very interesting. This place is very strange but interesting. I... more

A trip to the Mystery Castle should be placed in context. First, the daughter of the guy who built the castle still lives there. As a result, every nook and cranny is filled with knick-knacks and tchochkes reflecting the resident's taste. Second, although it is interesting to have the daughter actually conduct the tour (at least the first leg), and... more

We heard that outside the castle at night that some visitors hear an Indian and most think it was music provided by the castles owners, but its not. A friend asked if the outside was haunted but that the lady said no a gave a weird look? We wonder... more

Way too creepy for me. I had a bad feeling about the place after I left. The tour guide said some critter had recently crawled in the piano/organ & died and they have to take it apart to get rid of the carcase, but I think what ever was dead in that house has been there a very long time.... more
