Warwick Castle has been turned into a full day out by Merlin Entertainments - jousting and falconry shows, a labyrinth, siege engines, and towers to climb, on top of one of England's best-preserved medieval castles. It rewards planning: reviewers who mapped out the show times in advance got far more out of the day than those who wandered in expecting a quick look round.
Worth the trip
The live shows timed through the day, Falconer's Quest among them - reviewers who scheduled around them say it's what makes the ticket price feel worth it.
Before you go
Check the show times before you arrive and build your day around them - several reviewers say a casual few hours barely scratches the surface, and this is a full-day, not half-day, visit if you want the shows and the towers.
Reviewers consistently describe Warwick Castle as a full family day out packed with shows and activities, with staff repeatedly praised as friendly and helpful. The recurring caveat is cost - several flag that tickets, parking, food, and souvenirs all add up, and that a single day is only enough time to see a portion of what's on offer unless the visit is carefully planned.
Tower Suites and Knight's Village stays
“Wonderful castle, with lots of activities for adults and children on site, including a play area, multiple eating places, and lots of things to explore. Bonus - splendid peacocks everywhere you go. Great day spent with…”— Sorina M, visitor review
