  I've visited Warwick castle many times over the past 7 or 8 years and every time has been incredible. I have visited on weekdays weekends, public holidays, and normal days too and I always love going. The wait to get in is never a problem and the line always seems to move quickly. The improvements in sevurity more recently have been really reassuring over the years. The range of activities is brilliant for a wide range of ages. I think I've experienced everything there is to offer at Warwick castle over the years and I have created so many magical memories. I've been with family, on a school trip and will soon go with friends. I love this place and will never ever get bored of it and seeing the growth in popularity over the years has warmed my heart. I remember the falconers quest field when the benches were full with a few people sat on the floor around and now the entire field is always full of about 1000 people at every show. The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. I would 1000% recommend Warwick castle to anyone and really think it is worthwhile going if you can. 👍

  Absolutely amazing. The castle and exhibits did not disappoint! A really great day out for the whole family. The trebuchet was epic!! The high light of the day had to be the 'falcons quest' birds of prey show, it was absolutely brilliant, not your standard 'heres this bird, from here, eats this and does that, it was a show, a tale about a young man on a journey to find and train the birds. The birds were amazing and the ending was overwhelming epic!

  The castle itself is brilliant, with lots of things for the children to do, such as the play park and maze. I've knocked a star off because parking is an extra £7, the café has a limited menu for those with allergies, and very expensive for potatoes and panninis. And the dungeons are another £7 each, plus extra for the Princess Tower. I already feel that the entrance fee is a fair whack and the extras & parking should be included within the ticket price. That being said, I'm so glad that The Falconer's Quest was included within the entrance price, as the bird of prey show was absolutely incredible and very emotional. To see all those beautiful birds fly overhead was something else. We visited late into the season, so didn't get to see the jousting this time, so will look to come back in the summer for that. I would say to get to the castle as soon as it opens to take everything in. We got there mid-day, and did miss a few things. Overall, though, the exhibits were brilliant, and the castles history is available to read throughout the grounds. As long as your pockets are deep, you'll have a great day 😂😅

  Easy to find, good access, plenty of car parking space for disabled and wheelchair bound. In the grounds the footpaths are sound and wide. Prepaid tickets are advised for initial entry. There are some attractions and places to visit in the castle free of charge but a lot have to be paid for (and possibly booked). Access for the disabled and wheelchair bound into most buildings is difficult and limited. There are plenty of grassy areas to picnic and there are seating areas in close proximity to the food outlets. Toilet facilities are well signposted but not the one for the disabled. We're glad we went but not sure whether the visit provided good enough value for the money we paid due to the limited opportunities to see the whole of the castle.

  This could easily have been a 5, but various parts let it down. I will split the review into two halves – the good, and the bad. We booked a one night stay for four adults in the Knights Lodge, which included Saturday admission to the castle, and a buffet breakfast on Sunday. What was good. The castle is very good, well maintained, containing excellent displays. The main castle with the decorated rooms and the huge hall with armour and weapons. There are also several towers that can be walked up, though the steps are narrow and it is quite a long climb. The bird display was fantastic. It was the highlight of the day. I would thoroughly recommend going to the first showing you can, because as with us, we then had to return for the second showing later that day. A handy tip, try and sit on the benches. The birds are so well trained they can fly right over your head, just inches above it. The story is good, and the release of birds, and the build up to the finale is brilliant. I could not fault the show at all. What was not so good. The booking experience online was done 6 months before we attended. It was okay, and I only had one question at that time about parking, which was answered very quickly. But about a month before our arrival I was sent an email informing me I could now book a breakfast time. I used the direct link they sent on the day they email arrived, and every single time slot was full. This was very frustrating so I tried to live chat with someone but they advised me to contact the hotel. I telephoned the hotel and was told this was not something they would deal with, but they would see what they could do, and after a few minutes they said they could book me in. About a week before we arrived I had not received any email confirming our booking so I sent an email to Warwick Castle. I got a reply back that I was best to email the restaurant manager, which I did, and a few days later I was told that my booking was in place, but the process seemed to be a right faff. A days before we arrived I received another email containing all our tickets. The tickets appeared a little unusual in that they did not actually say we had admission to the park, but that we had admission to the Dungeon at 13:30. Anyway, as this was only tickets we had I printed these off. When we got to entry, the chap there could not get the barcodes to accept. He even commented that this looked like a different ticket. He tried repeatedly. I then showed him the email I had received, and showed him that this was the only tickets we had received. In the end he waved us through, but again what a mess. This was third visit to Warwick Castle over the last few years, and the first time staying over. I really wanted to see the Trebuchet display, as it had never been working on previous visits. And again, on this third visit it was still not operating. Added to that there was no jousting display today. Two of the three main outdoor activities not available on a Saturday was pretty poor. Our Knights Lodge was okay. The sleeping arrangements were fine. I cannot complain about not sleeping well, that is just my choice in preferring a harder bed. The seating set up was not great. There is a sofa-bed in the living room, which could sit 3 adults, but we were 4 and it was not great. A single extra armchair would have been nice. Also, the rooms are themed, and right over/behind the head of whoever sits in the middle of the sofa is a shield, which I caught my head on once. The bathroom was nice, and the shower excellent. There was dust and spiders webs in corners of the room.
