Castles N' Coasters, the minarets and mini golf off Interstate 17
Phoenix, Arizona
This fourteen-acre amusement park opened in 1976 dressed as a Middle Eastern palace, all domes and turrets, around four eighteen-hole miniature golf courses. It later added a log flume, go-karts and two roller coasters named Patriot and Desert Storm. It has outlasted Metrocenter, the big mall next door that closed in 2020.
