Liked the ability to buy ticket online, quick entry to the site, the easy access to all parts of the castle, clean washrooms, signage. Did NOT like that I couldn't get seniors' rate online, and entry felt expensive. Some steps without handrails. Gift shop very underwhelming.

Totally worth it. Was told that it wasn't worth it but turned out to be great. Spent an hour. Great views. Definitely a workout to move around and go up and down stairs.
