Testimonies

"What a blast the kids had at my daughter's birthday party!  Thanks to The Castle and your staff, our party was perfect!  The host was very attentive to all details, the skating and go karts were a blast and my daughter left feeling like a queen!  I will recommend this to other parents and I'm sure the kids who attended her party will be asking their parents to come back too!  Thanks again and keep up the great work!"

"Hi Sue and Brian, I just want to let you know that we all had a blast yesterday. It was perfect. The kids and especially the teachers had so much fun. Thank you for all you did and we look forward to working with you again."

-Felix Festa Middle School 

 "Thank you to the owner and the entire staff that was so instrumental in helping us to make Goshen High School's All Night Graduation party a wonderful success. I was there from 10:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. and everyone from the Castle was FANTASTIC... the kids were well attended to and had a great time the whole night long... it was a clean, safe, friendly environment and it made it so much easier for the ANP Committee to give the students a great party! We will definitely let the community at large know that THE CASTLE is the place to be in Orange County! Thanks again for everything.

"Our group had so much fun at the All Night Lock-in! It was like a giant slumber party and a night at the amusement park all rolled into one!"
-Heart of the Hudson Pearl River Girl Scouts

"Dear Brian, Susan and all The Castle employees:  Thank you so much for making my Sweet 16 everything I wanted it to be and so much more!  Without your creativity, great ideas, amazing food and willingness to allow us to use Jesters and "Club Dungeon" my party couldn't have been half of what it was.  I can't begin to tell you how many people are still talking about how fun it was TWO WEEKS LATER!  So thanks again for making my sweet 16 a night I'll never forget"
-Fondly, Danielle
