    I really liked the 1:00 p.m. cannon clock strike. I did not find the crowds bothersome because it is very geoted inside the castle. I thought it was all beautifully and clearly put down. Very impressive what all happened there.

    This was a day out for myself and my 17 year old granddaughter. We had a great experience, full of screams and laughter. Each room was full of suspense, story telling and surprises.

    Seeing alot of animals that you wouldn't normally see every day was fab. Monkey enclosure was closed which was a shame. We spent 3 hours and also a meal whilst there. It was a very hot day so the kids were getting tired and grumpy otherwise we probably would have spent a little more time there. My older child with us was the map reader nick named " the sat nav" he's nearly 12 so gave him good practice at map reading.
