It may be kitsch but the kids will love a day out at this mock medieval castle and
self-styled medieval adventure park. Knights and damsels in distress wander the grounds
and there's everything from a Dragon's Labyrinth and Wizard's Workshop to jousting re-
enactments and a torture dungeon. You can also sleep overnight in one of the semi-luxuri-
ous Castle Suites (rooms $179 to 260).
