Colchester Castle

Brilliant museum and castle full of Roman, Saxon and Norman history. There's lots of exhibits to see, for £1 each you can rent a tablet for an interactive experience. We paid £3.75 each for a guided tour of the crypt and roof and it's totally worth it. The staff are friendly and helpful plus there's lots hands on exhibits.

Excellent museum with lots of interesting exhibits. We also went for the guided tour with the extremely knowledgeable and handsome Ray, who really brought history to life - well worth the extra few £s for the tour. Have already recommended to others.

Don't leave reviews that often but really felt the need too, given how impressed I was. There is a fantastic amount of interesting historical pieces and facts to look at and also a lot of interactive activities for the children to get involved with. I was fully expecting my children 12 and 5 not to be that interested but of all the places we have been to like this, Colchester Castle was definitely their favourite place. I would say, I think they would benefit financially, if they had somewhere to get a little snack. A lot of people were asking, us included and they did have a perfect little room with tables for it.

Fantastic place. Lots to see, lots to touch, lots to hear. There is also great opportunity for entrance a 2000 years old roman temple foundations! There is lunch room where you can buy a hot drink and enjoy lunch if you bring one with you. Kids going to love this place as there is lots to do for them including games and interactive exhibitions.

Excellent museum and castle, well worth the entry fee, very well informed and interesting staff, Colchester has a fascinating history. Took us a couple of hours to walk round, Only down side is no dogs are allowed in the grounds at all which was a shame.
