Mystery Castle, Phoenix

have been to the Castle many times and each time is a different experience have taken family and friends to meet MS.Mary Lou and hear her wonderful stories. Also the Castle contains the car parts of the car that her father drove to Phoenix. Ms. Mary Lou passed away November 3, 2010 n Phoenix Az and has left behind the beautiful Mystery Castle for all to enjoy. I still enjoy my visits and taking people along to enjoy the many rooms and tales of the Castle and I will miss the many stories that Ms Mary Lou shares with everyone.

Dont waste your time driving. The site stated it was open through June. Upon arrival it was CLOSED.

The website says it is open from October -June. We drove all the out there to see it on June 17th and it was closed. They need to update there website on hours of operation!

This place is so wonderful! It is amazing to see all that this castle is made of. The time that must of gone into it is absolutely incredible! I suggest everyone go to Mystery Castle. The woman who owns the home is so friendly and willing to share her own home with everyone. Very kind woman! A must-see!

i liked it it was interesting :) very unique architectual styling i think its a pretty good place to go when visiting arizona cheap too :)

the mystery castle is cool its great for family activities. This place is one of those places that should be on someones to do list. I loved the story behind the mystery castle. It is worth every penny.

The Mystery Castle Museum was a pleasant surprise. In a city lacking much history and culture, this proved to be a unique experience drenched with memories of times past. The building itself was amazing, not to mention the view and the builder's now elderly daughter who greeted guests in the main room. I will definitely be back with out of town visitors.

IT"S THE DESERT!!! duh of course its hot... just take plenty of water and sunscreen.... it a beautiful place... you can take awsome pictures... the story behind it is just amazing and the daughter still lives there and her closest friends help her run the place and help care for her... the voulenteer he's a tall young man with drak hair and acssent that goes to asu.... total stud and very informative... he's a great guide and the lady is funny and sweet ad for mary lou.... you'll definantly enjoy taking to her... she's hilaious....... i HIGHLY recomend it as so do my friendas and any 1 else that goes there

There is no mystery to this place. Its an old house. It was too hot to enjoy and if you are looking for a mystery its not here.

We went to Pheonix to visit family and to see the sites. Our family had no idea about the Mystery Castle when we brought it up(we had found it on Yahoo Travel). So, we set out one morning to find out for ourselves all we could. We were awwed by the story and the castle that we got to tour with a local friend of the owner/daughter. For a five dollar fee this was more than we had expected. We are planning another trip back this year and this time we are bringing the locals with us. They need to know about the history and royality they are missing :)
