Visiting my veteran brother in FL, this was at the top of his list for us to see!! The first guide was a bit slow in her speech and hard to listen to they changed guides and we got a young kid who was energetic, full of side facts and great to talk to it was then we saw the mystery and fascination with the Castle.
We fell in love with the whole experience.
Totally worth the money to visit!! We would love to return and see it again!!!
I've lived in the area for a very long time and never visited Coral Castle before. Yesterday while entertaining out-of-town visitors we took the guided tour it was absolutely incredible, educational and fascinating. This is a must visit for anyone local or international. It's a true peace of American history.
We are world travelers. This is one of the most fascinating places we have ever visited. The guides were informed and friendly. They were able to answer all questions. The tours loop, so you can join a tour immediately upon arriving -- no waiting. Suggest you watch utube videos before going. This place is filled with mysteries. Modern scientists and engineers cannot explain how this place of wonder could possibly be built, although the place is less than a century old! This place is as mysterious and amazing as the pyramids built around the world in ancient times.
Very Interesting! The story behind this place is amazing and the tour guide that we had was extremely knowledgeable. Great way to spend an hour or so. I have never seen anything quite like this and it is definitely worth the stop. The best partit’s dog friendly! Highly recommend!
11/17/17 Bucket list adventure! Drove an hour from ft Lauderdale, caught 2.5 tour guides, and stayed for 3 hours. How anyone would rate this less than 5 stars is beyond me. The tour guides did a phenomenal job! Each with their own personality. DEF Worth the price of admission. I wasn't able to buy any souvenirs this time, But I do plan on going back. Great first date spot. Great relaxation area. Great views from anywhere you stood. Great information. Great history. Great atmosphere. Great people. Engineering marvel. Better love sorry than twilight. 10/10 would recommend.
Interesting place of the life of a strange man. But, at the same time a very innovative engineering designer.
I thought $15.00 is excessive when a reasonable price of maybe $3.00 at most is what it is worth.
My friend who is much more appreciative of Engineering Skills liked the place a lot more.
A great outdoor afternoon adventure for an hour or so, but definitely not an all day place. On the National Historic register of places, and definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. You will get a tour guide with the cost of admission and a chance to explore.
Really cool to see. But pricey for what it is. Very small and the name makes you feel like there will be a bit more to the place. Not worth a day trip just to see it but if you are in the area I would go (use a Groupon, not worth the ticket price).
I love this place. I've been there several times. It may be small, but it's very interesting. We had a great tour guide. Love taking pictures there. I've read about Coral Castle and also seen documentary on it. Amazing how a 5 feet tall 105 pound man could build this place all alone with coral rocks weighing thousands of pounds.
I saw several bad reviews and still came with the family. My mom has been talking about coming here for years and we decided this was they year. We had a great guide that took us through the whole place and talked about everything. It was really cool to see where the man lived and he had such a small area he called his room. He had made his own electricity and had his own water supply. Really was interesting to hear about it all.
The staff I talked to were all very nice and most are retires from around the area. They encourage you to explore the place on your own after you were given the guided tour so you can hear everything first.
Pricey but fun. Groupon has a two for $19 A little better planning next time But that still wouldn't fix the $7.40 for a water and a tea. Good history though.
Very cool story and attraction. Knowledgeable tour guides. Watch out for the Groupon 24 hour policy if you are going to use one.
Tried to enter with a free tour pass for two, and even though the ticketing office agent confirmed our pass legitimacy, we were not allowed in because the pass was too old and written by the previous manager. Bad business practice as nowhere on the pass does or in the building did it state that passes expire due to time or change in management. Would love to see it, and from what I read is a marvel feat but it is definitely absurdly priced.
Very different from most attractions. Combines stone building done by one man, some local history, a guided tour.
Refreshments are available as are souviner but some of our group took enough photos that we didn't need more.
I had a surprisingly enjoyable visit. The guided tour took about 75 mins and was a great insight into a clever self taught guy who worked very hard and was very frugal. To me this place is a unique scientific and business education.
