Fantastic historical site with exciting museum displays, artifacts, regimental museum and art gallery with permanent collection and touring exhibitions. Loads to do for kids too. We were there 3 hours and didn't see more than a third of it! Friendly helpful staff. Plus an excellent café. Good accessibility with lifts and ramps. Lots of offers on discount tickets, including free entry with Art Pass.

We visited the castle for an 11th birthday and it was fantastic. Thee is so much to see and so much for children to do. The newly renovated area is stunning and the light show to show the history is great. The staff were friendly and helpful (helping my friend purchase a yearly pass). It was half term so busy, but that's exactly what we expected mad 8 would definitely go back again. We didn't feel like we saw it all and there was so many different exhibitions to look at. Really would recommend!

Walking around all the galleries and then taking photos of the ancient graffiti scratched on the walls I spotted my daughter's Beth's name! No it was not me that scratched "Beth" in the gallery right next to the heads(toilets) . We had almost 4 hours looking at the artwork, stuffed animals and birds , it was a shame the dungeons were not open. I also had a little lie down in quite a comfy bed.
