About MagiQuest
MagiQuest stands out as one of the most unique attractions on the Parkway, offering an interactive fantasy adventure that captivates visitors of all ages. Each guest receives a magic wand that triggers real effects throughout the castle - lights flash, portraits come to life, and treasure chests open as players complete their quests.
The main game involves hunting for runes and battling a dragon, but the experience extends beyond the core adventure. The same building houses indoor pirate golf, a mirror maze, and an arcade, creating multiple entertainment options under one roof. Magic wands become permanent keepsakes, allowing returning visitors to pick up where they left off and continue their magical journey.
Families should plan accordingly, as one 90-minute session rarely satisfies engaged players. Many visitors find themselves purchasing day passes to allow for extended exploration and quest completion.
The fully indoor, air-conditioned environment makes MagiQuest an ideal escape during hot summer afternoons. Combo passes provide excellent value for those planning to experience multiple attractions beyond just the wand game, making it a worthwhile investment for families seeking variety in their entertainment.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Interactive Wand Gameplay
Your magic wand actually triggers effects throughout the castle - portraits talk, treasure chests open, and magical creatures respond. The technology tracks your progress so you can continue your adventure on future visits.
Dragon Battle Quest
The ultimate challenge where you use everything you've learned to face off against a dragon. Kids absolutely love this finale, and it's surprisingly engaging even for adults.
Special FX Pirate Golf
18 holes of black-light mini golf through a Caribbean pirate village complete with a pirate ship. The special effects and theming make it way more interesting than typical mini golf.
Odyssey Mirror Maze
A 5,000 square foot maze with infinity illusions, lights, and music. It's challenging enough to be fun but not so difficult that little kids get frustrated.
Adventure Arcade
Modern redemption games where kids can earn tickets for prizes. The games are newer than typical arcade attractions, and the prize selection is actually decent.
Lifetime Wand Ownership
Once you buy a wand, it's yours forever. Your character and progress save automatically, so you can return months later and pick up exactly where you left off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hours for MagiQuest?
MagiQuest is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Keep in mind that concessions and game admission close one hour before closing time, so arrive by 7:00 PM if you want to play.
How much does MagiQuest cost?
The Ultimate Combo (wand, 90-minute game, golf, maze, arcade credits) costs $39.99. If you already have a wand, returning players pay just $15.99 for 60 minutes or $24.99 for a day pass.
Do I need reservations for MagiQuest?
No reservations needed - you can just walk in. During busy times like summer weekends and October, you might wait a few minutes but it's not typically a timed-entry attraction.
How long should I spend at MagiQuest?
Plan 2-3 hours if you're doing the combo with mini golf and the maze. Just the MagiQuest game alone can easily fill 90 minutes, especially for first-timers.
Is MagiQuest good for kids?
It works great for mixed ages - we've seen families with kids from 6 to 14 all having fun. Younger kids love the wand effects, while older kids get into solving the quest puzzles.
Is there parking at MagiQuest?
Yes, there's a free surface parking lot right at the castle. It's directly on the Parkway, so parking is typically easy to find.
Can I bring my old wand from previous visits?
Absolutely! Your wand is yours for life and tracks your progress. Bring it back for cheaper 'returning magi' pricing and to continue building your character.
What happens if my wand stops working during the game?
Staff members walk around upstairs specifically to help with technical issues. They can reset wand sensors or replace malfunctioning wands quickly so you don't lose game time.
