My husband and I looked at the fitness area. It looked like a pretty cool amenity. Wonder how many people actually use it though? There is also a pretty cool playground here. Loved the rubberized ground cover. (I personally dislike messy mulch or the ground up tires for playground ground cover). Lastly, the kids played on the huge theatrical stage. Not sure how/when this is utilized but it's a nice option for local bands or schools?? Numerous covered pavilions were here. A couple were being used for parties. One came in handy when a quick 5 minute downpour happened upon us. All in all, a nice park.

The water in the sanctuary area is soooo blue. I couldn't believe my eyes. We walked along that part first, then walked past the hatchery. It was so cool to see the trout in different stages of life. Dogs aren't allowed to swim in the sanctuary or hatchery, and since we have a lab who's obsessed with the water, we kept walking to reach a spot where she could at least touch it. Lots of people were fishing, so we kept walking until we found a spot where she could splash around. As you can see from the photo, she had a wonderful time. We kept her leash on and I'd recommend others do the same. We didn't want her to get caught on a fishing line or scare any fish away that people were trying to catch. We paid $5 to get into the park as we were driving in, and we were able to pay with a credit card. There was plenty of parking even though it was the weekend. Definitely recommend for a day trip from the STL area!

On upstairs and one down stairs. Prize lines are also really long. Expect to wait there for 20+ minutes. Go karts are a cluster and the line is crazy slow and inefficient.

I added the picture of the story of the Kansas City businessman that decided to purchase 5000 acres and build a castle here back in the early 1900s. You can read the story on that particular photo. The ruins seem well maintained, you are not allowed to walk in them, but you can get pretty close and take photographs. There are also several viewing platforms around the area, which gives you some pretty cool views of lake of the Ozarks. They do have pit toilet Bathrooms available. Beautiful place and can highly recommend for a historical visit as well as spending some time in nature.
