We went Tues May 8th, 2012 and the sign said open Thurs-Sun, bummer $10 adults and $5, we were excited to go! More

I am shocked to hear Mary Lou has passed. She graced my first tour and made the experience warm and friendly. Such a generous woman to share her family and history with the rest of us Phoenicians. Mystery Castle is a beautiful place built for a beautiful woman. Even in her absence it is worth the trip to see and... More

I thought this castle would be very interesting to tour because of the back story about the man building this for his daughter. I really didn't think it was worth the $10 admission.

The view is wonderful, the tour is adequate. Relatively inexpensive but be expected to tip at the end... All in all, a good way to spend a few hours... More

I could have spent all day here. I was lucky enough to visit before Mary Lou passed away, and she offered us her time by sharing stories and experiences with us that will be forever cherished. I highly recommend a visit for those of all ages, it really is a sight to see in our modern days. More

The story of how this came to be is interesting The building itself is interesting due to the items used in its construction. be sure to look in all the corners and out of the way places.... More
