Castlebrook is located on 25 acres between Ely and Hwy 30, about 10 miles from Cedar Rapids. The castle and park-like area was designed for both the studio and home.
The Studio is surrounded by a wonderful variety of outdoor settings for portraits. The outdoor area is also called " ARK PARK " because of the many animals there.
The Animals Include:
9 Llamas
7 Miniature horses
2 Clydesdales
5 Geese
3 Goats
31 Exotic chickens
2 Miniature pot belly pigs
22 Ducks
7 Dogs
4 Cats
3 Rabbits
118 Gallons of fish
1 Ferret
All of the animal friends are safe and friendly! Ark Park at Castlebrook is visited by busloads of preschool children and church youth groups.
At some time, most of the animals have been in a high school senior portrait or a family portrait.
Families are invited to have a portrait made, change into really casual clothes, and play while the images are prepared for viewing and selecting. A fire pit, picnic table, and hayrack are available. Hug a llama!
