Founded by Keith Ryall in 1974, the castle has welcomed millions of visitors over its five-decade history and underwent a major multi-million dollar redevelopment and renovation in 2013 that restored all original castle areas including the moat, drawbridge, maze, and towers while adding new attractions. The castle offers daily entertainment, live shows, interactive activities, and overnight accommodation in its castle suites.

Additional live performances throughout the day include arena shows, sword battles, wizard demonstrations, and jesters, with the daily schedule varying and additional content during school holiday periods.
What is the Dragon's Labyrinth at Kryal Castle?
The Dragon's Labyrinth is one of Kryal Castle's most distinctive attractions — a walk-through storytelling experience that tells the legend of the Land of Kryal and the dragon that lives beneath the castle's hill. The labyrinth uses special effects, lighting, and theatrical design to bring the castle's founding legend to life as visitors journey through it. It serves as an atmospheric introduction to the Kryal Castle world for first-time visitors, providing narrative context for the medieval experience throughout the grounds.
