Time Tower Tour at Warwick Castle

March 22, 2015 by Eileen 8 Comments

Each year, Warwick Castle brings interesting new activities and development to their castle and we find that it is worth going back again and again to explore new things there.

This is also the first UK attraction that combines 3D scanning, 3D modelling, projection mapping and 4D effects which knits together compelling verbal stories of its 1100 year true story. The time-travelling narrative is brought vividly to life by the very latest visual technologies.

We truly enjoyed our tour through the Time Tower as it provided us a nice overview of their timeline interjected with brief summaries of the key events. We found the use of the latest technology very engaging for both adults and children alike and my daughter in particular was mesmerised by the model castle. As with many of the other castle attractions, walking through the passageways between rooms is quite dark with lot of steps in narrow spiral staircases. So be careful if you have young children.

Now you can enjoy your high tea while admiring the beautiful proud peacocks roaming in the garden! If you sat outside the restaurant, you might be lucky enough to see the peacock’s feathers spread out next to your table. The menu and prices are very reasonable and the ambiance is calming. It is definitely a great place for relaxing! We all enjoyed our selection of cakes and pastries!

This is such a great opportunity to experience a unique family sleepover with four poster beds in tents! We have never tried ‘glamping’ before but it’s certainly something that we would love to do.

There are lots of activities like racing with hobby horses up and down the track, hitting the target at Mike’s Target Test, colouring and crafts.

In the castle, the regular activities include: Raising the Portcullis; Flight of the Eagles Show; The Sword and the Stone; Firing the Trebuchet; State Rooms, Great Hall and many more. The castle has many acres of greenery so you can picnic there comfortably! Please be aware that climbing the castle with young children might not be easy. Also at times, it is better to use a baby sling than a pram at some attractions. Note too, that some activities incur a fee, like when children did the archery shooting and dungeon.
