Mystery Castle

I'd visit it because of the unusual way it was built and unique materials used. Before you go know, the caretaker and family give tours for $10 (cash) per person. Pictures are allowed in most areas but not all. Limited souvenirs are for sale in the gift shop. The history is interesting but questionable if all the details are correct or enhanced. The view from the home is of Phoenix and the surrounding mountains (Dobbins overlook a nearby drive with awesome views).

This place was fun. Wait time was less than 5min. It was kind of busy. Our group was around 15 people or so. The tour guides were welcoming and friendly. My sister took her toddler twin girls, with us, which were, at times, somewhat inpatient as kids are and it felt that some guests weren't welcoming of that (rude, since it's a family friendly activity) but if the guides had a mic to enhance their voice louder I think it would help them not get winded or have to raise their voice so high. But a beautiful historic scenery and learned such a beautiful story about the history of the castle and its founder. Definitely recommend it. It's worth a visit!

A great historic find! I’ve been living in Arizona for 20 years and I just heard about this place! I love the history to this home and all the eccentric details! We were giving enough time to really look around and take in the views. The tour guide was nice, maybe a little quick with the speaking, but it wasn’t bad! The tickets were only $10 and you’re allowed to take video and pictures every where with the exception of the gift shop area. Definitely come by and check it out. It’s amazing to hear the story behind the mystery castle.

This is definitely a quirky odd the beaten path spot but worth it. It’s only $10 and they bring you through the entire house. The people working there truly love it and have worked there for 20+ years so they have lots of personal antidotes and dad jokes, lots of dad jokes. It’s right by a ton of hiking paths and a good addition for a full day adventure. I went on a Saturday at 12pm and joined a tour right away. I PAID CASH. Make sure you bring cash.

For $10 dollars it was pretty great to get a firsthand look at this family legacy. Not all of the rooms of the house are open. When you get there you will have to wait. I suggest going early and bring cash. They take a group of 10-20 ppl at a time every 20-35 minutes. You can take pictures but no video. They usually have two tour groups going at once. Bring water with you because it will be hot, especially if you are waiting for a tour to finish. You will not pay until the start of your tour.
