Well worth a visit - definitely book on to the tour where you'll see parts of the castle you can't otherwise visit and the guide brings alive the history behind the site
We took our 8 year old granddaughter who was fascinated. Lovely staff who were very well informed. We all loved it and plan to make a return visit very soon. To much to take in on one visit.
Cozy little castle with a small surrounding park. There is not much going on inside, the whole interior is converted to a modern exhibition with different artifacts. 30-40 mins was enough to walk. There is a toilet ran out of toilet paper. Also, no family discounts and they are not part of English heritage. For a family of 4 we paid about 50 GBP which is terrible. Guided tours cost extra.
Amazing castle to look at, although there are parts that have fencing around due to the deteration of brick work, but for a 900 year old building, it's doing pretty well. You can visit inside at a cost of £13.50 per adult, and as far as I know, there's plenty to see inside. The grounds around it are well maintained with lovely flower and rose beds. Well worth a visit and a walk around the grounds, good day out.
Colchester Castle is an amazing place to visit! The history here is fascinating, and the museum is very well organized with lots of interesting exhibits. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the interactive displays make it fun for both adults and children. The castle and the surrounding park are beautiful and perfect for a relaxing day out. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Colchester!
