My family and I enjoy our visits to Preston Castle. We always have an amazing time. My partner and I have attended quite a few events and love the tours and oddity fairs they have. The staff that we've talked to have always been very knowledgeable. There's also abandoned housing that we also walk. It's a great place to visit and explore. Would definitely recommend catching a tour when it's open!

Great historicalThis historic site is well worth the time to explore. The story of the inhabitants is nicely displayed throughout the area and the grounds are well maintained with paths that run throughout the property and along the prison The museum/house was closed the day we were there but it was still a highlight on our trip.

We went for the Halloween Haunted house. We had a great time. They had food vendors there. That could have been better. The volunteers were awesome! Great personalities and kind. The scare crew were great!
The castle is great very cool. I think we will come for the Christmas event and during normal op times. Learn more about the history.

Great visit. The docents will engage as much as you do or don't. They are eager to answer any questions and share their knowledge. I highly recommend asking questions.

Perfect spooky experience for this season 🎃 I live outside of town, so I arrived around 9:25pm. The only reason that I had to wait to park is because there was a medical emergency. (Hope she's okay)
The castle is beautiful from the outside and so interesting on the inside. I loved the way it was decorated and how much there was to see!
It's also really cool that there were different food trucks/booths to choose from and that there were t-shirts and other related items being sold for guests. 10/10

Amazing castle. Its a private organization so donations is very much appreciated even though there's already a fee going in. There still plenty of rooms to be renovate. The volunteers are very nice too and we appreciate their time volunteering to keep the site open.

I absolutely lived it! Great haunted house attraction worth the while. It was a good length as they take you all the way to the third floor. I thought it was going to be more of a historical haunted tour, but it was not. I still gad a lot of fun, though. Just don't take your kids if they get easily scared or don't like the dark, or creepy things. My 12 yr old came out crying, and we had to carry my 5-year-old n have his eyes covered most of the time.
