You will learn about the history, science, and a love story that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Since 1923, scientists, engineers, and scholars continue to be amazed by the Coral Castle. Visitors can see a hand-carved nine-ton gate, a Polaris telescope, and the world's only sundial with seasons.
