My husband and I took our son and grandson to visit the Ozark Medieval Fortress and although I did not check out the reviews before we purchased tickets, some are worth reading but most are very judgmental in my opinion, they seem to forget that back then it took longer to do just about everything and the whole idea for...

The Ozark Medieval Fortress is the site of a real castle being built using Medieval methods. It began in 2009. It is scheduled to be finished in 2030. A costumed guide met us and took us on a tour to the castle construction site all the while telling us about the Medieval period. On the site we were able to... More

$18 each and then they would have charged $2 more each for tour. Should charge less til there is more to see, we were in and out in 30mins and that was walking slowly! There were 3 people working and the walls are only 4 feet high. Save your money and go in 2020 when more is done More

Our initial reaction - not worth the money. There were VERY few people actually working. I realize it was October and a week day, but there were not many people working - two stonemasons, a blacksmith, a kid acting as rope maker, a tool maker, and a weaver. They were all very nice and answered questions, but there were lots... More

We were a little nervous after reading the previous reviews but we went in with open minds. We agree that there should be more people at each of the work stations but this did not detract us from seeing the true marvel that is being built. We were able to ask the other people there about things that are done... More

Having visited several european castle, I found this fascinating. There were about a dozen workers there involved in setting stone and associated crafts. In fact, they outnumbered the visitors. All were quick to stop and talk about what they were doing. We took a quick tour which explained a bit about the period and the evolution of the castle. While... More

Like the other latest poster, this was my second visit. I looked SO forward to the return visit with great expectations, only to be completely let down. The place might as well have been deserted! Think I actually saw about 5 people working and the teenagers that were with us were bored in 20 mins. It is a real shame... More

My family & I visited the fortress last year & had a great time. My boys learned archery, got to break stones, make rope, talk to knights, talk to the bread maker, blacksmith...it was awesome! We talked about it all year & were so excited about coming back this year. Unfortunetly our expectations were not met, not even a little.... More

I agree with all the other reviewers that this is a must-see! If you ever wondered how those amazing European castles were built with hand tools and labor a visit here won't disappoint. Adding a tour to your ticket is only $2 per person and worth every penny. "Medieval James" is a wealth of knowledge. We visited with our daughters... More
