Where you can immerse yourself in a thousand years of jaw-dropping history – come rain or shine.Where ancient myths and spell-binding tales set your imagination alight, and your hair on end. Where princesses are pampered and maidens are wooed, as winners become true heroes and losers are confined to dark, dank dungeons to be forgotten for eternity. It could only be Warwick Castle. « less

We were glad that we had vouchers for the entry into Warwick Castle. We did not expect that there would be an additional charge to gain entry to all parts of the experience. The history tour was well presented by a knowledgeable guide, and the bird display entertaining. It was not however, good value for money.

Long ago, the barons of Warwick ranked among the wealthiest landowners in England. Their coffers overflowed with gold while the labouring peasantry could barely afford to eat. A thousand years later, little has changed. Now owned by the Tussauds Group, the second-largest tourism multi-national after the Disney corporation, the castle is run as a shamelessly commercial enterprise. The castle is... More

Plenty to do and see as different shows are available all day such as birds of prey, archery and the firing of the trebuchet (siege engine) More of the castle is open to visitors now as in bedrooms and state rooms which are beautifully restored. Almost a full day is needed should you wish to see all attractions and have... More

We had a fun few hours but even without the extras it's not a cheap day out. Our kids are too small for the Dungeons etc so essentially we were paying for a walk around a castle, and £22pp is still plenty. Then there's £6 parking, £5 to shoot a bow and arrows, £6 for burger & chips etc. Merlin... More

You can see that Tussaud has had a finger in the creation of this attraction and the overall design is Disney-like. This is very much an attraction for all the family with creepy and exciting things for children, exhibitions with life-like dolls for grown-ups and special attractions such as 'Flight of the birds' and 'Firing of medieval siege machines' for...

Four early retired friends had a fabulous day out and there was far too much to see and do in one day. Will have return.
