“Since Castle Park reopened earlier this year, we have expanded on our events, and Castle Dark is no exception,” said General Manager Ken Withers, “We are bringing our guests affordable entertainment options by adding new and updated mazes for the 2021 season.”
Headlining the haunted experience at Castle Dark are three terrifying mazes, each with a different, twisted theme. NEW for 2021, guests will come face to face with their worst fears in Castle Dark’s largest ever maze, Phobias. Tight spaces, snakes, the dark, no guest will leave without facing their phobias in this fully immersive and interactive thriller. Those that survive will find no time for clownin’ around as they visit Mr. Tubb$’ Twisted Circus! This circus is a show of oddities like no other, filled with freaks of nature, twisted acrobats, and crazy clowns. Then, head Home Sweet Home. Guests are invited to a fun family gathering, but this family is not all they appear to be. Watch out for Daddy, he’s having a really bad day…
Beyond the haunted mazes, Castle Dark offers four Scare Zones:
- Dark Harvest, where anyone found guilty of using witchcraft will be shown no mercy
- The Inferno, a series of darkly lit streets, where cult worshippers believes only the dead are truly saved
- The Streets of La Sierra where once dead family members rise from their graves to haunt those they left behind
- The Midway, packed like a clown car with demented circus folk, roaming the streets in search of new audiences to delightfully torment.
In addition, Castle Park’s 2 dozen rides & attractions will operate during Castle Dark, as well as their 4 award winning miniature golf courses.
