And it's not even the most amazing of the pools there. The indoor one with the side-rooms is something else.

Wow, it pays out to run a campaign against marihuana to support your friends in forestry companies

That’s kiwi actor Kevin Smith. This is from Xena. He’s dead now :(

You can now swim in it for over $1,000!
Tikityler
its a lot more, Friends parents did volunteer work there and ended up with a free pool party for 2 hours worth $30k like 15 years ago. >
Tikityler
My parents got to go but not me. Friends parents did lighting for some big charity event there.
srm03
must've changed the price recently https://www.latimes.com/travel/la-tr-travel-hearst-castle-pools-open-for-swims-20190613-story.html
Tikityler
"per-person ticket price" They probably priced it at $30k for it being a large party package.
srm03
I mean, one is a party in my books! lol
Tikityler
Thats how I do most of my partying but I'd not call a one person party a large party.

The immediately prior post talked about "Poseidon's kiss"

Forgot about that place. I used to live near there.
KingAardvark1st
You know, I wonder who future historians will think lived in Hearst Castle? The King of America? A duke in exile? The last Washingtons?
Quaxx
Been there, seen that
NotHardly
Hearst ... both grandpa and daddy were serious foul assholes... read up on the fu**ers. Screw them and their ill got gains.
Dorzim
I was suckered into going to that place. I was like, 'Whoa, a castle here in the states?! I'm in!' It's nice, but it is NOT a castle.
Gentlemanriot
Been there. Proposed in Cambria.
spesialk1224
In the winter they do the coolest night tours, they take you through as if you're a guest and historical actors are just chillin randomly.
Lesbiandez
Is this where Lady Gaga filmed G.U.Y!?
Lesbiandez
Just rewatched and IT IS!!! Omg thank you I have always wondered!!
mollem
Yasss!!
kingsfold
Honeymooned near there in Cambria and toured the castle. Quite a place.
TheAnnoyingSilence
Cool, the last time I was there they were still fixing the pool. It's such a beauty!
Orioleorion
Where are the zebra pictures???!

Who is Hearst or what is Hearst Castle?
xVVitch
Try googling it.
grantavius
William Randolph Hearst, wiki him.
lilmookieesquire
The Rupert Murdoch of his day.
HonestCommentFarmer
Imgur-sized version: Daddy was into oil, he was into newspapers. Was insanely rich, like Rockefeller rich. Started the Spanish-American War.
HonestCommentFarmer
Citizen Kane is based on William Randolph. Granddaughter got Stockholm Syndrome. Hearst owns Cosmo, The Telegraph, Good Housekeeping, etc.
Steeltalon
Early 20th century American heir/businessman. Think Bezos/Jobs/Gates money, but extremely tacky and kind of a douche.
snailburrito
Very much a douche.
martian086
Looks like Las Vegas
Numb3rThr33
This castle was William Hearst's' project, son of Sen. George Hearst (Yes, same guy from Deadwood)
goflyblind
yeah, that's pretty sweet, but i think i'd rather join the symbionese liberation army.

Oh sweet they finally finished this 5 year project!
Rando292
Haha right!?
Blud4BludGod
I have a friend that is allowed to swim in that pool once or twice a year. One of his family members is related to the site in some way.
Win1forthegifer
Came to say this

Janusha
What was the project? Hasnt this been pretty finished for a while?
hoffle
There had been cracks in the concrete foundation. They had to drain and repair the cracks over the last couple years.
sellithard
It was supposed to take 2 years- took way longer
hoffle
Considering how slow the State of California moves, 5 years isn't all that bad.
sydneygirl
we went in December 2014. Pool was drained and being repaired. Place was awesome though. I would go back.
homoerection
I’ve always want to go and I am this year! My partner and I are driving the 101 from the Washington peninsula down to San Diego in September
sydneygirl
i drove the 5 from Seattle down to San Diego. Awesome!. There are elephant seals right near Hearst and they have zebras. Keep an eye out!
p3culiar15
Same. I was like, wow they have water in the pool now?
sydneygirl
fancy!

"poseidon's kiss"

I think this is Billy Madison's pool

Archer one of the later seasons...

hey kids! I bet you thought that I was dead!
iwishiwereclever
Dive in! What're they gonna do? Kick you out of a castle? That sounds awesome, and guaranteed to be a fun story
AdrianMole
What're they gonna do? Probably call an ambulance to help you with your broken neck.
WendyCarlson
yes they kick you out for touching the wall too
Steeltalon
I was just there a couple of days ago. Yes, they kick you out.... and arrest you for trespass, & fine you $750-$1000.
privatepublic
If I was rich, I'd consider that.
DirkNurple
Worth it.
YesButAlsoYes
Once a year the people that work the park get to bring their family’s for a pool party though
kittykat
That's awesome!
InfinitusEquitas
It's a pool, don't call it a pool if you don't want a fat rich American in it.
InfinitusEquitas
I say that as a fat person, definitely not rich American.
alecdshope
It was full of fat, rich Americans. Celebrities too. That was before it became a museum and people stopped being allowed to touch stuff.
InfinitusEquitas
Damn shame.. A pool that no nice should be one that people can swim in.
Steeltalon
Agreed, but the amount and quality of tourists there tells me that place would be trashed in days.
