Our Family Trip to See Zog at Warwick Castle
Have you (or your little ones) ever wanted to see a real dragon?… a friendly one, of course. Our toddler is obsessed with all things Zog, so it was only right we visited him in his home at Warwick Castle to experience all the magic!
Meet the Family
I’m Abby, mum of two boys; Ernie who is three and Artie who is 7 months and a fiancée to my lovely Robert who I met in Australia – we’re both actually from England and England is definitely home… even if we have ‘ping ponged’ a few times. We are definitely a family that adventures, always looking for the next fun thing to do.
Planning Our Visit
As with most parents of toddlers, we spend a lot of our time reading stories to them, embracing that precious childhood magic. After seeing a few ads and a bit of research, we found Warwick Castle to be THE perfect place for a family visit.
Booking the Trip
We planned our visit at the same time our parents were coming over from Australia for a holiday. I originally got a quote online for £453 but delayed booking for a week, and the price went down to £279 – a great deal for 5 adults, a toddler, and a baby, midweek!
Our Day at Warwick Castle
The day arrived, and I’m not sure who was more excited, me or Ernie! We set off early morning, grabbed lunch, and made our journey to Warwick Castle, arriving in the early afternoon. The castle’s entrance, with towering trees and a winding forest driveway, was a little enchanting.
The Zog Playland
Ernie was slightly scared of the dragons in the Zog playland but enjoyed the slides and zip line. There were picnic benches, perfect for families to spend more time.
Exploring the Castle
After the playland, we took a short walk into Warwick Castle, encountering resident peacocks and exploring various rooms. It was fascinating to see Warwick Castle set up with clothes, paintings, and fabulous interiors.
Staying in the Knight’s Village
We stayed in a Knights themed lodge at Warwick Castle.It was cosy, clean, and had a great story time session with Zog and Princess Pearl. The dinner at the restaurant was enjoyable with entertaining knights and delicious food.
Final Thoughts and Tips
Warwick Castle and the Zog experience were amazing. We’d love to visit again for a longer stay.
Here are some tips for future visitors:
- Save your tickets on your phone
- Pace your visit with young children
- Bring snacks and water.
If you do visit, I hope you have the most magical time!
