From old-school soda fountains to throwback hotels, Arizona is full of blasts from the past. One of our favorites is Castles N’ Coasters, an amusement park in Phoenix beloved by local families since 1976. With nearly two dozen rides and attractions, four mini-golf courses, and a massive arcade, it’s the perfect place to spend a day unleashing your inner child.

Since 1976, Castles N Coasters has been entertaining Arizonans of all ages with a plethora of indoor and outdoor attractions.
