Very interesting! Take the tour and the guides are great. They know the history of the whole area and the castle is beautiful

I remember seeing the castle out in the middle of nowhere main father picking me up putting me on his shoulders and carry me around the castle it was awesome

We had previously done the tour of the house and this time did the underground one. Worth doing as the builder of the home was truly a genius in using the water from the springs.

Buy the combination ticket which gets you a castle tour as well as a tour of the underground workings of the castle (technically ahead of its time). A fascinating history told by guides that help bring the story to life. Allow yourself several hours for the tours and time to explore the grounds.

Fun spot with a nice gift shop. We did not take the tour inside - it was late in the afternoon and the weather had turned cold and rainy. The story is very interesting and the architecture is wonderful. It is also said that coyotes visit the area frequently in search of food and sure enough, one posed for us and waited expectantly to be fed. Worth a visit.

Our guide was a very good actress and made us feel a part of Scotty's and the Johnson's lives. Well worth the long drive to the North end of the park.

Interesting stories told while exploring in and around the Castle. We did the tour, so glad we did. Highly recommend it. Then wander around freely visiting other areas not on the tour. Lots of picture opportunities. Take a picnic lunch or snack. Grassy area & tables, with friendly wild critters coming to visit.

A castle in the middle of nowhere was as intriguing as the story behind it. Our affable tour guide tells us the serenity of Death Valley inspired a Chicago millionaire to build this magnificent structure in the 1920s. Also, the role a con artist named Walter Scott played. He pitched a non-existent gold mine and used his friendship with the millionaire to hustle business. What makes this a fun tour is where fact ends and fiction begins. The castle's ornate furnishings remind one of the Hearst Castle and the millionaire Albert Johnson's innovations are as interesting as the legend of Death Valley Scotty.

This has two tour options: the house tour is pretty easy to get on, the underground tour was booked out a couple of hours in advance. Both tours are an additional $15. The house tour goes through quite a lot of the house and there is a lot of history of the Johnsons and Scotty. Quite worth it. There are picnic tables under the palm trees - so either bring some lunch or grab a sandwich in the visitor center while waiting for your tour to start.

The house was quite well preserved with lots to see, but the tour guide was annoying and silly, acting out a role that she was a friend of the owner and gabbing nonsense non-stop with a put on southern accent - awful!
