Warwick Castle, Warwick

We had an amazing experience....a once in a lifetime experience. We actually staying in one of the tower rooms which is a bucket list experience for me. We got the white glove treatment from the amazing staff. The rooms was cozy and beautiful and the food was delicious. We did many of the shows as well. Our 7 year old son had an great time but I was probably the most excited about it all. This is the view from our room in the morning. We had the whole castle to ourselves.

This castle may seem pricey and somewhat touristy, but it has something for everyone. History fans have some awesome staff on board to teach this castle history, there are entertaining staff for the kids, and the place is also largely designed as a family park. Much of the castle is also well preserved and extremely well presented, and all this as a privately funded entity. Thoroughly recommended.

Great attraction especially if you've got kids, but check before you go to see what's on. It's not a cheap day out and I felt distinctly ripped off by having to pay £6 on top of the entry fee for parking. You also have to pay extra to go into other bits of the castle unless you buy more expensive Kingdom ticket.

Went to Warwick with my friends, really enjoyed it there and was so interesting! We did a lot of walking so not good for anyone who can't walk long but there are plenty of places to rest and sit down. We also did the dungeons which was quite good and scary at the end. Lots of things for younger kids to do and other ages too!

I was worried that this would be something like a Disneyland, but was completely wrong! They do an excellent job of mixing interesting exhibits with touchable / doable things for the kids. We watched an open air event on birds of prey that was far better than what I have seen in the states - it was not just a "look at this bird and see her jump on the post then fly to the side." We were there off season and the walk from the car park was posted as "20 minutes" and they were right. However, even with the substantial crowd the castle did not seem overly crowded.
