From the reviews

What a wonderful hidden gem in Ona, FL. We had a great time here on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon. We toured the castle and the "extra" building with car collection and both were fascinating to explore. It is difficult to comprehend how 1 man could possess so much boundless creativity and talent.

This little place is an absolute hidden treasure! Off the beaten path in Ona, FL we had a great time! The folks at Solomon's Castle were so friendly and our tour guide was very passionate. The works of art that were showcased was mind blowing. We walked the grounds and had a phenomenal lunch.

Solomon’s Castle is a hidden gem and a very unique place to visit. The property is beautifully maintained and perfect for a relaxing walk under the trees. The antique car collection was impressive, and we were told all the vehicles are still functional, which makes it even more interesting.

It's kind of in the middle of nowhere. But it is worth the drive. Howard Solomon was an artistic and engineering genius. To see what he made to see the artwork that he has done is truly amazing. His family owns and operates the castle restaurant gift shop. And it was worth every penny.
