So the only reason I'm not giving this place a five is because it's just so ODD that I'm not sure I can fully assess its star-worthiness. You will not visit anywhere else like the Mystery Castle. It's bizarre and very cool and slightly unnerving. The idea that the builder left his family and built it by hand for over ten years while his wife and daughter thought him dead is just, well, I don't even know. But here's the truth-- it's worth the $10 CASH price. (They only take cash!) If you want to do something weird and fun--go do it. The whole tour takes about a half hour. It's pretty hot there, and there are stairs you need to climb. Mystery Castle is one of those places that make life interesting and eclectic--built by a man and preserved by his daughter--who were truly original thinkers and dreamers. Go see it!!
