Castle Dark 2022 at Castle Park Riverside

This past weekend we were invited out to Castle Dark at Castle Park in Riverside, California. 

The event is at the absolutely charming Castle Park which we haven't visited in a few years, so it was not only great to see all of the Halloween fun, but also to get back to the park itself. 

In addition to the ride park, Castle Park also features an amazing mini golf course which has special lighting during Castle Dark. All in all, the event is great for locals and definitely has the potential to grow in the years to come. 

Let's head in and check out this fun event! 



For information and Tickets to Castle Dark, check out the Castle Park website.

Welcome to Castle Dark!

Like their sister park Kennywood, Castle Dark has implemented a Chaperone Policy. That didn't stop younger people from waiting around the entrance asking adults to chaperone them into the event.
Picture
We were thoroughly impressed with the lighting at the event.
Picture
The roaming characters were very awesome!
Picture
And some awesome props!

Our first maze was Morgana's Revenge. This maze is easily the longest of the 3 mazes at the event. Despite having a lot of black walls, there were actually a lot of quality scares in this maze!

More awesome lighting!

After checking out the arcade and mini-golf, it's back to the ride park!
Picture
Our second maze was The House Next Door!
Picture
We absolutely loved this maze, just wish it was a bit longer.

The third maze at the event was the Funhouse of Terror!

This was our favorite maze at the event, just a super fun classic clown maze.

Thanks for having us out Castle Park! We look forward to returning to the event in future Halloween seasons!
