Castle Gould — Attraction in Town of North Hempstead

There's an entrance fee to come here (paid $15 per vehicle). Great place to come and enjoy serenity with beautiful gardens, nature, beach, marina and a castle alongside. Different trails available. There's picnic areas, dog park, & a children's playground. The Museum exhibits fossils and traces of dinosaurs which had inhabited the area. It's nice to come here either alone or with anyone you please (partner, family, pet, etc). Restrooms available that are clean. Tours available. Gift shop available. Place closes at 7pm. Wish it was longer so you can enjoy watching the sunset over...

It’s a nice place to walk around the trails see the beach/water, scenery is very nice and there’s like a “mansion/rose garden” that’s really cool. The castle it self is pretty underwhelming cause there’s nothing to it, other than staring at it from the outside. The day I went the welcome center was closed. We tried to walk on the beach but it was also closed. Not sure if it was just a bad day (Mother’s day is the day we went) but I like it. It’s a nice place to just come by and relax. Parking was a bit high, $15 for not much to see or do. Would’ve like if it had more...

I visited this castle at the beginning of December in 38F weather, but I had a wonderful experience exploring the grounds. There is an entrance fee of $15, but you will get to explore the grounds around two castles, dog park and children's playgrounds where I have seen adults playing around. There are trails around the castle that one can explore, and the view of Long Island sound on clear day is breathtaking. I will definitely going to come back in summer. Restrooms are clean and plenty of parking available. Castle provides awesome photo...
