Our Arrival & First Impressions

Walking to the entrance

Stunning scenery on the way in and the walk from the car park is really pretty

Activities Breakdown

Climbing the tower
Photo opportunities in the dungeons

we absolutely loved the shows at Warwick Castle, particularly the Falconers Quest and the Zog show. The play area was great but on the smaller size, and it was really busy. The Zog booklet where you can collect press stamps is a great touch! You can also do other activities such as archery on site.

  1. 1

    Falconers Quest show

    We love the Falconers Quest show. The birds are stunning and it’s really fun for kids.
  2. 2

    Zog show

    Absolutely great for little ones, particularly ones who love the show, and there are beanbags at the front which makes it more exciting for the little ones.

Food & Drink

We bought a hot dog which was really yummy and reasonably priced at £5 (although the bun wasn’t heated like it is in the cinema). We also ate in the all you can eat Knights Table which was nice but definitely on the pricier side for the quality

Money-Saving Tip

Would definitely bring a packed lunch. Also, Merlin attractions have free water stations so bring a water bottle or cup.

We love the entertainment and shows here, very interactive and fun for all

Food was quite yummy but could have been slightly better quality
