Do you have a big group? Half of your students can tour, while the other half completes an add-on experience; then, rotate with a picnic lunch in between!

Get Directions

You will want to access the Castle in the Clouds property by using 586 Ossipee Park Road as your GPS address. Please note that if you search for “Castle in the Clouds” you will be at a different entrance 2 miles down the road, which when open, is not wide enough to accommodate a school bus.

When our school bus arrives, take a right at the fork in the road so that Shannon Pond is on your left. Please proceed to our oversized vehicle parking, on the grass, just after the Café and green bathhouse building on your left-hand side.
