OK, so it's not cheap (although you can buy discounted tickets in advance from the Castle's own website) and it is a different experience from an English Heritage castle, but it is good fun, particularly for kids, and the history of the castle is well-explained in the guidebook if that's what you want to focus on. We went at Christmas... more

first visited Warwick Castle with my wife and some friends. We drove over from London and deciding to make a day of it. It was a fun experience. Of course, we all found it to be a bit Disneyesque, but that was part of our enjoyment. In very little time, we were all acting at least half our age and... more

What the 'Merlin' group have done here is tart up a superb castle and try to make it much more than it is as a means to make money.which is sad, because the castle stands perfectly on its own merits........very pricey..........a litle tacky at times...but if you can see passed it..not a bad day out.. more

We were terribly disappointed by Warwick Castle, which our tour guide insisted we see. If we wanted to see "attractions", costumes and nonsense we would have stayed in the US and gone to Six Flags Amusement Park in New Jersey. The history was concealed by the childish and uninformative displays. This might be nice for a family with young children... more

First up, the new Princess Tower is a total insult to customers (young and old) - having queued nearly an hour with an over-excited daughter - the overall outcome is you go into a room, listen to a tale of a princess getting wed, then you go into another room for the kid to put on some princess costumes where... more

This is a must see out of any of the thousands of castles in the UK. Medieval Castle which kids just love. Lots to see, things happening all the time such as the falconry display which is a must see. Highly recommended. more

Looks like the HRH just left. A chance to see what it was like to live in high society during the War of the Roses and Victorian England. more

We had a great day out at Warwick Castle. I thoroughly recommend a visit here if you have the time and are in the area or are mulling over whether you should or shouldnot make a visit. There is plenty here to do for a day, inside and out. The new dungeon featue is now open, this is a must.... more

Full days visit to this wonsderful castle is firmly advised. Go early to be able to take full advantage of all the attractions. They are all worth it. The birds of prey display is amazing, we watched both morning and afternoon's. The castle guides are all dressed in period costumes and are great fun. It really is something that would... more

We went to Warwick in mid-August on a rainy day and even so, really enjoyed ourselves. We got there early for the raising of the Portcullis and spent some time watching the longbowsman archery program. There were two adults and three children 16, 9, and 7, in our group. We did not find the walk to the castle overly long... more
