Kids Castle
Kids Castle is open to the general
public seven days a week from sunrise to sunset.
Organizations/individuals wishing to bring a group of children to the
Castle MUST contact Doylestown Township Administration (215-348-9915) and
register for one of the group days (either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday
between the hours of 10 AM and 3 PM). No more than 125 children (in one or
more groups) will be accepted on any given day. By establishing
designated group times, the Township can better manage the use and safety of
the playground without discouraging use by the general public. Please

Kids Castle may be

Township to confirm that the Castle is open. Please adhere to our
safety and no trespassing policy. There is a fine attached to
