Castles N' Coasters, Amusement park in Phoenix, Arizona

Castles N' Coasters is an amusement park and family entertainment center on about 14 acres in Phoenix, Arizona, built in a Middle-Eastern motif with other eras featured as well. It holds four outdoor 18-hole miniature golf courses, an indoor video game arcade, a go-kart track, bumper cars and bumper boats, and two roller coasters, Desert Storm and Patriot. Desert Storm's white track with a central rail and cross-ties forms a large vertical loop braced by green steel columns; Patriot's train has purple and blue front panels.

The park opened in 1976 as Golf N' Stuff, a miniature-golf and family entertainment center. In December 1991 it was renamed Castles N' Coasters after the Ride Park was added, bringing the Desert Storm and Patriot roller coasters and a multilevel arcade. The expansion grew the site to about 14 acres; the bumper boats occupy what were originally batting cages.

The park's Middle-Eastern motif, with castle-like facades, sits alongside a Wild West-themed miniature golf course and log flume. Its four 18-hole mini-golf courses each carry their own theme and include trick shots and water features. The bumper boats occupy the site of the original batting cages.

The 14-acre site holds four 18-hole miniature golf courses, an indoor arcade, and outdoor rides, so allow time to move between them. Li'l Indy go-karts run beneath the Desert Storm track. The log flume Splashdown ends with a 9-metre drop, and Sky Diver is a 37-metre drop tower.

The bumper boats occupy a pool that once held batting cages, a remnant of the site's Golf N' Stuff years. Desert Storm, the coaster whose white track loops above the park, stalled on 15 May 2021, and firefighters brought 22 riders down from about 20 feet up.
