One full hour of Arcade Games! Each child can use their included hour of arcade play at any time during our 90-minute celebration.

Pizza and refreshments! A chance to gather, enjoy some tasty food, and celebrate together.

Fun Hanukkah activities! Games and holiday traditions that bring the Festival of Lights to life.

A special Hanukkah gift from Jookender for every participating child!

And that's only the beginning!

The Party Ends, but the Adventure Continues!

Our organized Hanukkah celebration ends at 3:30 PM, but your family's adventures are far from over!

Your child's $70 ticket also includes these exciting castle attractions, which can be enjoyed after our Hanukkah party, throughout the same day, and into the evening.

Go-Karts - Ready, Set, Race!

Get ready for some racing excitement!

One Go-Kart ride per participating child is included in our Hanukkah package.

Young racers can experience the thrill of the track and enjoy a memorable adventure behind the wheel.

Please note that riders must be at least 48 inches tall to participate.

Rock Climbing Wall - Reach New Heights!

Calling all young adventurers!

Challenge yourself, test your climbing skills, and see how high you can go on the castle's Rock Climbing Wall.

Rock Climbing Wall access is included in your child's admission, and there's no need to squeeze it into the first 90 minutes. Children can enjoy this adventure after our Hanukkah celebration, including later in the day while the attraction is operating.

Heated Swimming Pool - Make a Splash!

Yes, there's a heated swimming pool at the castle, too!

A full-day pool pass is included in every participating child's $70 admission!

After our Hanukkah celebration, children can enjoy swimming, splashing, and relaxing in the heated pool, with plenty of time to continue the fun into the evening.

The pool features lockers, family changing rooms, showers, and comfortable beach-style seating.

Bring your swimsuits and towels, and get ready for some water fun!

There's Plenty of Time for Everything!

Silver Stone Castle is open until 10:00 PM!

You don't need to squeeze all these adventures into the first 90 minutes. Families can enjoy the organized Hanukkah celebration, collect their gifts, and then continue exploring the castle at their own pace.

The included Go-Kart ride, Rock Climbing Wall access, and Heated Swimming Pool Day Pass can be used on the same day, including after our party, subject to each attraction's operating hours, availability, and safety requirements.

Stay for a few extra hours or make an entire afternoon and evening of it!

Medieval Costumes Welcome!

Why not make this Hanukkah even more magical?

Children and adults are encouraged to come dressed as medieval knights, princesses, kings, queens, or other characters inspired by the Middle Ages.

Imagine celebrating Hanukkah in a real medieval-style castle, surrounded by knights, royalty, and a magnificent dragon!

And we have something special for the grown-ups: a Best Medieval Costume Contest for Adults!

Show off your royal style, knightly armor, or most creative medieval look!

Costumes are welcome but certainly not required. Everyone is invited to enjoy the magic, whether dressed in medieval style or everyday clothes.

Important Information Before Your Visit

What About Babies and Toddlers?

Every child participating in the Hanukkah party or included entertainment activities must have a paid ticket, regardless of age.

However, infants and toddlers who are simply accompanying their families, such as babies in strollers, do not need a ticket as long as they:

• Do not participate in the organized party or entertainment activities.
• Do not receive an activity wristband.
• Do not consume food provided as part of Jookender's party.
• Do not receive a Hanukkah gift from Jookender.

In other words, if you're bringing a baby who will simply stay with you while older siblings enjoy the celebration, you do not need to purchase a Hanukkah ticket for that baby.

Please Arrive Early!

Our celebration begins promptly at 2:00 PM.

Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early, by 1:50 PM, to check in, complete the castle's required liability waiver, and get familiar with the facility.

Free parking is available on-site.

Our Private Party Room Is Reserved for 90 Minutes Only

Our private Hanukkah party room is reserved from 2:00 to 3:30 PM.

After our festive gathering, pizza, and gift distribution, we must completely vacate the room so it can be prepared for the next event.

Please collect all personal belongings before 3:30 PM. Nothing may be left in the party room after our reserved time ends.

We recommend taking any extra bags, coats, costumes, or other belongings you no longer need back to your car before continuing your adventures.

Since parking is free and conveniently located on-site, you can leave unnecessary items in your vehicle and enjoy the rest of the day without carrying everything around.

Remember, leaving the party room does NOT mean leaving the castle!

Your family can continue enjoying the included attractions and any additional activities you choose to purchase throughout the same day, subject to their operating hours.

What Should You Bring?

A little preparation will help your family make the most of the day!

Medieval costumes, if you'd like to dress up and join the fun.

A change of comfortable clothes and appropriate shoes for active play.

Socks for the children's play area.

Swimsuits and towels for children and adults planning to enjoy the heated pool.

A little extra spending money if you'd like to enjoy optional attractions, additional Arcade Games, adult activities, or the medieval-themed restaurant.

Remember to collect all your belongings from our private party room before 3:30 PM. You can conveniently return unnecessary items to your car and continue enjoying the castle.

Important Information for Parents & Guardians

Adult Supervision Is Required at All Times

Every child must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult throughout the entire visit, including the organized Hanukkah celebration and all activities afterward.

Parents and accompanying guardians remain responsible for their children's supervision, behavior, and safety, including their participation in attractions.

Jookender does not assume responsibility for supervising children or for injuries, accidents, lost belongings, or other incidents arising from participation in the castle's activities, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Castle Liability Waiver Required

In addition to registering with Jookender, parents or legal guardians must complete Silver Stone Castle's separate liability waiver before their children participate in the attractions.

All participants must follow the castle's safety requirements, height restrictions, and staff instructions.

Silver Stone Castle offers many additional activities and entertainment options that are not included in our package and may be purchased separately on-site.

Want to race your kids on the Go-Karts or join them for a swim in the heated pool? You're more than welcome!

Adult participation in Go-Karts, swimming, and other attractions is available for an additional fee, payable directly to Silver Stone Castle.

Please note that adults entering the pool area, including those who do not plan to swim, may be required to purchase a pool pass.

Planning to swim? Don't forget your swimsuit and towel!

And Something Special for Adults, Too!

No Kids? No Problem! You're Welcome to Join Us!

Silver Stone Castle also features a beautifully decorated medieval-themed restaurant, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening with friends.

After our main Hanukkah celebration ends at 3:30 PM, adults are invited to gather at the restaurant, enjoy good food, catch up with friends, and spend some time together in this unusual setting.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or simply a friend of Jookender who would enjoy a little medieval atmosphere and good company, you're welcome!

Restaurant food and beverages are available for purchase at your own expense.

And if you're attending with children, please make sure a responsible adult continues supervising them while you enjoy the restaurant.
