A must see site especially if you have children. There is so much to see, War of the Roses, archery, birds of prey, etc. And, the castle tour itself is super. Avoid climbing the long walls and towers if you have issues with closed in places.

Attended Gwen Stefani concert last night, first visit to an open air concert it was such a lovely setting and the artist was fantastic. Towards the end of the evening a fight broke out just in front of us so instead of letting it escalate and spill over into my personal space as security just stood watching, I spoke to one of the parties involved to calm the situation. My husband complained to security advising we'd stopped a fight (the one they stood watching) security's sarcastic remark was "oh well done". This was from security on the barrier of the Gold circle, stage right. Feeling this reply was totally unacceptable, on the way out of the ground I saw another member of staff and I asked "are you response?" His reply was "yes I am some kind of person" so yet another sarcastic comment. There wasn't much security around during the event, anything could have happened and it would have been too late. Compact Security need some customer service skills. Venue fantastic, artist fantastic, security appalling.

Had a great time at Warwick Castle, we were staying in the Peacock Suite in the castle so had access to Castle for 3 days, lots to do and see. Absolutely loved the falconry display down by the river, we saw it twice with different shows, the trebuchet show was ok, but didnt thrill me like the falcolnry. Walking around the ramparts and up the towers was great some fantastic views, thoroughly enjoyed the Time Tower with the moving heads in the pictures, which shows what could be done with the Kingmaker exhibition, which is looking a bit jaded and outdated, it needs hologram faces talking to you and just needs jazzing up, I was a bit disappointed with this, we are big fans of the War of the Roses period and this was a bit of a let down. Another highlight of the Castle was the Dungeon, we were lucky that our black clad jester was superb, he cacled maniacally at us, screaming at us about our "talkie boxes" (thats your phone for anyone who is puzzled), and just generally being scarily entertaining. I enjoyed walks down by the river, the Avon is gorgeous and the Mill House with its electrical equipment is very interesting (I know i'm an electrical/engineering nerd I can't help it). Staff we spoke to were helpful and pleasant and the grounds are very well kept, and we look forward to returning

We recently visited Warwick Castle with our twin 3 year old boys and 2 year old daughter. We were looking forward to taking them due to the Zog events that are currently taking place & they had such an amazing time. The Zog life show is fantastic and it was lovely to see all the children enjoying the show so much. We also took the chance to meet Zog and again the babies were thrilled. We also managed to take in some of the other shows that we’re running and they were brilliant. The actors deserve a huge pat on the back for the effort they put in to entertaining everyone and they play such a huge part in making the day more fun. The War of the Roses show is really good, my son particularly liked this one. Unfortunately we weren’t able to go into the castle itself as it wasn’t something our young children would have enjoyed but we will return and visit the castle next time. We also didn’t get chance to take part in the Horrible History maze as they don’t allow buggies in the maze which is fine but the children were very tired at this point so we decided against it. The only slight disappointment I have is the Zog Playground. It is very interesting but I found the children lost interest very quickly and we were probably only on the playground for ten minutes. I do feel that the prices for entry to the park are on the more expensive side and I feel that paying the same price for a 3 year old as you do for an adult is a little bit much but it certainly didn’t stop us from enjoying the day. Overall it really was a thoroughly enjoyable day and the family will definitely go back again soon. Finally a big shout out again to the historical actors, they played the roles really well and were fantastic at engaging with all the children!

We visited as a couple during the midsummer carnival event, there was lots on and loads to see and do. The War of the Roses live performance of jousting was great, loved by all those who watched. The actors were great and really got into their roles, and engaging the crowds, even in the pouring rain! We saw a demonstration of the trebuchet, sadly we missed the falconers quest, there was so much to do we ran out of time even though there from opening until closing! We paid extra to experience the interactive dungeons experience, great fun. Fab day out for everyone!

We visited Warwick Castle recently and had a great day! We wanted to visit before the Zog show ended in September as our 3 children love Zog. The live show was brilliant and our little ones loved it. We also took the chance to meet Zog, the area to meet Zog is a little out of the way and not that well signposted. We stood by the entrance and just hoped we were in the right place, thankfully we were! We also watched a couple of other of the shows and these were also brilliant! The actors did a really good job even in the bit of rain that we had. We didn't have chance to go inside the castle this time, purely because our children are a little bit young to appreciate it just yet! But we have already made plans to return to visit the castle. There are also little activities and shows in the courtyard. We took a little visit to the Zog playground which has a lovely design. However, a few areas have motion sensored sounds when you approach. These frightened the life out of my children and they were a little traumatised, we swiftly left shortly after as they were reluctant to go on other things. So, easily spooked children beware! As with all Merlin attractions there's a parking charge. I always think its a bit cheeky to charge for parking when the attraction cost is quite pricey! Again we visited the gift shop which was quite pricey but you end up giving in so your little ones can have a little memento of the day! Warwick Castle is a great day out with something for all the family. Its a little on the pricey side so be prepared for that but there's plenty to do and is definitely a day out worth doing!

Came here as part of a coach trip and I was amazed with the history this castle contains! There is plenty to do for everyone here, regardless of age. shows, tours, shops, and plenty of information for those with an interest in history. My only complaint was that I never had enough time to take everything in or enjoy any shows as I was limited for time. To fully explore and see everything this castle has to offer would take a full day.

The first thing to remember is that it is mainly based around children, so adults may find it a bit underwhelming. Everything about the visit is expensive, the quite frankly extortionate entry price of £156.00 for 4 adults, that does not gain entry to all areas of the castle is not a good start. The food, coffee, souvenirs, cold drinks, additional visit costs, in fact everything is designed to do nothing more than extract as much cash from you as possible. As an example, should your children wish to try archery, there is an additional £6.00 cost per child for a few arrows. Yes it's a stunning location full of history, yes there is plenty to do, yes the shows are good, yes it is excellent for children. The Falconers Quest I must say is a superb show. Come on Merlin group, at a time where families are struggling through a cost of living crisis, cut people a bit of slack. You are pricing yourself out of many peoples budgets. Worth a visit, but be prepared to have very deep pockets.

Absolutely amazing. Great entertainment for the whole family. We took a picnic and after the jousting ate it at the river bank to watch the shows. The jousting was by far the best we've seen, and they really engage you, taking sides for the war of the Roses! Great castle, lots to do and see, we've now visited several times. Best place to park is actually down the road, by a large park, as its only a few minutes walk up hill, cheaper and no issues getting a space. A really great day, from the birds of prey to the peacocks in the gardens!

I absolutely adore this castle and the staff are absolutely amazing, nothing is too much trouble. This visit, we did the dungeon tour, quite a few jump scares, keeps you on your toes and well worth the extra money to do, we were presented with a photo album with all the professional photos took off us that day, with the extras for keyrings and fridge magnets, was £20, but it was presented well and again a lovely keepsake if you have the extra money. Love the falconers quest, peacock gardens, legend of the trebuchet, horrible histories theatre, didn't do the war of the roses on this visit as there was only performance that day and couldn't catch the later show but have done on previous visits and it is great entertainment. The price of entry, in my opinion, is great value for money during peak time for the amount of entertainment put on by the hard working staff is definitely worth it. If you plan your day well, you can hit all the entertainment as nothing overlaps. Sure food prices are a little pricey but you can take a picnic in and there are plenty of places to eat as the grounds are so beautiful and plenty of places to recycle your waste too. Already planning a repeat visit soon as I can't stay away for long.
