Top Castles in USA

Plan to spend a full day. Between exploring the castle and wandering the nearby park trails, you'll want ample time. I rushed through the park and wished I could go back.

Check out the little museum inside the castle! It’s easy to miss but has some cool displays. I almost skipped it, and I’m glad I didn’t!

If you're planning to take photos, try to come around 10 AM when the light is perfect! I got some really great shots during that time.

Plan to spend at least 1.5 to 2 hours here. I thought I’d just zip through, but there’s so much to learn and see, which was a pleasant surprise!

My advice is to wear sturdy shoes! You’ll be climbing quite a bit, and flip-flops just won’t cut it. I learned the hard way when my sandals broke halfway up the steps!

I suggest taking the audio tour instead of a guided one. It gives you more flexibility, and I learned so much on my own pace without feeling rushed!

If you can, visit on a weekday instead of the weekend. The fewer people made my experience much more enjoyable, and I could take my time to soak everything in.
