Enjoyed the informative video and tour of the creator and the creations. It’s a lot to take in yet in not a big of a space as imagined, so recommend having other plans as part of your travels. The castle is very well maintained, flowers and wildlife vibrant and staff very nice. Free parking, easy to find and worth checking off the bucket list.
Finally after 7 years of wanting to visit Coral Castle we made it! Took my husband retiring to have the time needed to travel. Glad we were able to take time to visit the Coral Castle. We watched an introduction video before the actual tour began. So much to marvel and see. We went to the gift shop and purchased a couple of items. This getaway was definitely worth it, amazing structures. The creator of this coral castle truly a genius.
A True South Florida Gem I first saw this place on the History Channel and was blown away. Now that I live in Florida, I’ve made the 1.5-hour drive several times—and it never gets old. It’s hard to describe the feeling of standing next to 9-ton gates and walls that a tiny, heartbroken man carved all by himself using only hand tools. The mystery of how he did it is fascinating, but the story of why (for his lost love) is what makes it so special. The guided tour is excellent, and I love that you can wander the grounds afterward. It’s quirky, romantic, and absolutely mind-boggling. If you haven't been, put it on your list!
Such a cool place. Tour guide was phenomenal! Great story. Really amazing history. Gorgeous views. Highly suggest!
What a fascinating place! If you like a good unsolved mystery to be inspired by, this place is a must see. We didnt know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. The short documentary was very ingotmative to prepare us for our tour. The tour guide was informative and kept us entertained with his personal commentary.
