Nottingham Castle

This is a great experience overall, particularly for kids. There are many interactive displays, with the archery and quarter staff being very popular. Lots of interesting historical stories presented in very engaging ways (the noose display is bold). The outdoor play area is really well done and if you’re lucky the views from there are stunning. Kids go free and the ticket can be used for a year.

Plenty to do but it's not really a castle in the true sense. It was a castle and there are remnants of it and the building that is now there was a stately home I think. The ticket you purchase gives you access to the grounds for a year and we visited over two days. I would recommend you do the Robin Hood experience first which is the first entrance you can see when leaving the shop and ticket office. Some good interactive boards, virtual archery and virtual combat, all good fun. Some fun easy games in the medieval area and the rebellion gallery certainly kept my attention with portrayals of Nottingham castle's history. There's a more formal art gallery and currently an exhibition about people moving to Nottingham from the Caribbean and their heritage. Another thing recommended is a tour of the man made caves that wind their way throughout the hillside. The tour guide had superb knowledge and presented in a really interesting manner, Alrighty! I forgot to mention the views from the balcony are interesting and you can see many of the iconic landmarks of Nottingham. The coffee was good from the cafe in the castle that sells a selection of light meals and cakes etc. Presumably the one attached to the shop is similar. Finally the adventure play ground looks interesting and is suitable for children up to the age of 12. All in all a worthwhile trip.

Firstly, I recommend visiting the Castle,
Secondly, dine in the oldest pub that has survived since the Middle Ages,
Thirdly, visit the Deer Park 🏞, in which the deer 🦌 graze completely freely, without any pens,
Fourthly, visit the building of the Museum of Natural History
Fifthly, take a walk around the historic center and soak up the spirit of Robin Hood's times
For the night it is worth settling in some old building, in a quiet residential area.
Believe me, this is an unforgettable pleasure!

Wow! What a great place to bring the kids to play when you're in the city centre—you pay for entry once and it's good for unlimited visits the rest of the year. Yes, you read that right!

Well worth it—lots of interactive games and learning opportunities for all ages, a wonderful play area, gorgeous views of the city, clean loos, lovely cafes, and lush grounds. We didn't know what to expect as far as the kid-friendliness factor, but it did not disappoint in the slightest. Very good value for money, reasonable prices in the cafes and gift shop, and easily a day out on its own—but, with entry covered for the year, this is a much better place to let the kids run and play than amongst the pigeons in Old Market Square..!

Please, please visit if you haven't been in a while and visit often (no excuse now!)—it's an absolute gem and an incredible space we should all treasure in this amazing city x x

Came today on the heritage day £1.First time I've been since the renovation's and it's fab. A lot of mixed reviews online but can honestly say it's well worth the visit. Lot's for the kids to do took us 3 hours just to get round it all. Will definitely be back again!

The castle is nice, however, the ticket price is high compared to what is inside and what you are going to do. Some galleries are alright, but it is not a museum and a full tour can be done in an hour. Also, the ticket does not include the cave tour, so you need to pay more for this and it has time slots.

We bought the tickets online, so there is no need to wait in the queue for a long time. Is 10 minutes walking from the train station, and along the way, you can see Robin Hood statue.
The views, the place.. just in love 😍 You can learn many things, and for kids they are so many things and activities inside the castle/museum.
We took a CAVE tour as well for £5/person...is something to not miss.

Definitely worth a visit! The ticket is valid for a year! Gardens pretty with fantastic views across the city! A great adventure playground for the children and Robin Hood experience is perfect for younger visitors. The main castle is interesting with art and history galleries, and a super cafe with really friendly staff! Sadly tickets for cave tours were all booked up! So, book online if you want to do this! Don't miss the Brewers Yard round the corner from the castle and next the Old Trip to Jerusalem pub!
