I told the lifeguard and it seemed as if there was no urgency to get people out of the pool.

ONCE UPON A TIME.......IN LOMBARD…read more This beloved indoor entertainment center is still hanging in there after 40+ years. I'll admit, I didn't have "attend a work outing at Enchanted Castle" on my 2025 bingo card, yet here we are. I found myself reminiscing about birthdays from the past, how many tokens I spent here as a preteen, and what on earth I was doing at a kids entertainment center with a group of engineers. As they've been since 1983, Enchanted Castle on Roosevelt Rd in Lombard is a one-stop shop for fun.  They have party rooms, a large arcade with ticket counter and 7-8 different attractions.  It's like a bigger version of Chuck E Cheese with a medieval theme, a Dave & Busters aimed at kiddos. You can pay for things a la carte, or get a $40 "max pack" that gets you a $15 game card and access to any 3 attractions.  Our large group hit up the arcade, mini golf, laser tag, and go karts.  One staffer helped us out during our time here, and kudos to her for being patient when we couldn't make up our minds on what to do next. I'll start with the best: the go karts ($9/pp).  Although the track itself is small and not terribly exciting, these go karts were peppy and handled well.  You get a decent number of laps, too, and it must be popular enough to warrant having its own dedicated entrance off to the right - Castle Karts. Next came laser tag ($9/pp).  The packs seemed heavy, but the guns were very accurate IMO.  It was a 'capture the flag' objective and despite a small arena, there was just enough space to move around.  They also have Route 66 mini bowling ($5/pp), bumper cars ($5/pp), a scaled down 'Scrambler' type ride ($5/pp), and a playground area with slides ($5/kid). The glow in the dark Black Knight's "Adventure" Golf ($7/pp) was the weak link of the bunch.  9 holes of poorly lit, uninspired putt putt with odd scenery choices - they couldn't decide between skeletons or squires - and lazy hole design led to several in our group bailing partway through.  One girl even twisted her ankle walking around an obstacle!  This is an area that could definitely benefit from a facelift or new attraction. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, Enchanted Castle had a 3D motion theater that played several iWerks films like Dino Island, Alpha One Cowboy, and Red Rock Run.  This wild motion simulator was always the highlight of my visit, but I can't find ANY record of it in web archives..... was this a fever dream?? Their arcade has a mix of new and old, lots of ticket redemption games with flashy shoot-em-ups sprinkled in.  They had Beat Saber VR (for a whopping 24 credits) as well as some vintage games like the one where you use an air cannon to shoot out the clown's teeth.  Many years ago, they had a dedicated area for pinball machines....now they have none.  *sigh* I expected very little from the food and was pleasantly surprised.  The italian beef ($12) was pretty good, no complaints about the fries.  The large appetizer platter ($40) had a little bit of everything: 7 mozza stix, 7 wings, 7 tenders, 12 mini tacos, and 8 pretzel sticks with dipping sauces.  They also had beer on tap @ $6.50 per pint, not too bad. * TL;DR * Enchanted Castle is supposed to be for young'ins, but if you have fun here as a grown-up I won't tell anyone. Being in business for 43 years is no small feat, especially when you consider the sweeping effect COVID had on the realm of indoor entertainment.  I'm amazed (and relieved) that Enchanted Castle's drawbridge has stayed open despite so much volatility in the world.  I don't imagine that the handful of folks we saw on a Thursday afternoon is representative of how much foot traffic EC actually gets. Here's to hoping they have many more years ahead of them, making joyful memories for scores of kids in the western Chicago suburbs.  I'd hate to see an indelible part of my childhood be gone for good. "The handsome prince raced his mighty steed around the go kart track, while the beautiful princess enjoyed several games of Skee-Ball.  And they played happily ever after!"

The worst part is there is no order to redeeming your tickets for prizes. No line, no nothing. It's just chaos, and the employees randomly pick and choose which kid to help next. Sure, they get to power trip, but would it hurt to have 1 or more lines to establish some order to the chaos? Never returning on my watch = unhappily ever after. The end.

It was very clean, and we think that it could be a good option for a future bday party. Our son tried every single slide. The only slide that we did not like (us parents) was the one that you went straight down and then off into a pad. It immediately gave me a headache and felt like it messed up my back, neck, and chest.

This isn't a regular playground -- it's basically an indoor slide park with huge fast slides, obstacle courses and open space for kids to run energy OUT (parents too if you're brave lol). The place was really clean, staff actually paid attention and kept things moving, and I liked that they separate areas by size/ability so little kids aren't getting ran over. My kids were sweating within 10 minutes which is exactly what I wanted Good option for cold days, rainy days, or when you just need them tired before bedtime. Seating for parents, easy check-in, and overall organized. Definitely one of the better kid activity spots around Aurora -- we'll be back.

They did not have the height signs to the ground, they were raised several inches higher. These workers were on a power trip and loved making these kids cry. They let some parents ride with the kids and other parents they would not.They were not consistent at all. Several of the rides broke down multiple times. Kids were told they were "too tall", kids were told they were "too small" there was basically nothing for them to ride. Many families didn't come back after the first night because their kids were so upset about not being able to go on the rides. This affects the entire carnival. If people aren't coming back their not spending money to support your parish, the food vendors that came etc. All of this was brought to the manager, showed her photos of the kids on the rides and nothing changed. The carnival workers were bad mouthing the company saying their terrible to work for, they don't get paid fairly and therefore were selling tickets on the side to people who spoke their language at a discounted price. There is a reason this company has this low star review. Do your research and don't just go with the lowest bid you will regret it.

It has 16, soon to be 17 coasters making it one of the best places in the world for amusement rides for families and thrill seekers.

Overall great experience and leading into further improvement but beware of long lines so go on weekdays and if on weekends get there at 10:30 for opening and stay till close

They must've remodeled this since the last time I came here over 10 years ago. - all day dining pass every 90 minutes and drink pass every 15 minutes for reasonable price - smaller park footprint easier to get around - the food actually is pretty good for an amusement park quite a large variety Cons - so many rides were just randomly closed for the day - dynamic pricing changes the price of your ticket depending on when you buy it - the app sucks. It is not updated and keeps on showing things as close or reporting the wrong wait times. - At other places, such a cedar point when you walk in the restaurants are already open l. Here It was sort of nebulous as to when you could actually get your first meal. We walked in at 10:30 for the opening and it did not appear that restaurants open until noon, which meant that you couldn't get your meal as soon as you started the day. - on that same note the restaurants close an hour before the park actually hoses or some of them close even earlier like two hours before so again limiting when you may be able to eat and how much you may be able to use of your pass - 39 dollar for parking wth
