Really enjoyable visit. The ticket includes the old castle, the house, tunnels and the fire line exhibition. You can download the official Cardiff castle app for a free guidance and history of the Castle and surrounding place. You can also take your own coffee and food and sit for a free inside the Castle on the wooden beaches, or on the grass. I would recommend the place for everyone who is looking for the history of the castle, exploring history of Cardiff.

Unexpectedly interesting. Amazing rooms. Definitely do both the additional tower and house tours. Both guides were informative and entertaining in different ways. Only complaint was that we bought tickets in advance and then had to buy additional tickets for those tours, rather than being able to get it all at once. So there's really no point booking online in advance. I don't think it was even mentioned before I bought the tickets that to see all the best bits you need to pay again.

Great place to visit. Not cheap but worth it. The extra charge small group guided tour is essential. The guide was great,interesting with a theme to the visit and loads of little-known facts to illuminate the experience. All the staff we spoke to made us feel welcome and they all knew their stuff. Well done.

It was a very enjoyable visit at the Castle. We also made use of the app you can download using the free WiFi at the ticket desk and you can listen to the explanations for all the points of interest around the Castle. The visit to the house was definitely worth the ticket, the interiors were really nice. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are visiting Cardiff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Cardiff Castle.

Beautiful grounds, which are open to the public for free. If you want to see the other sites within the walls, you'll need to pay the entrance fee and it is worth it and reasonably priced.

Lots to see, explore and enjoy. Was nice to sit with a lolly and take in the views. Some beautiful architecture with a wealth of history. Highly recommend a visit.

Castle is beautiful, as is the grounds.. we didn't do guided tour but still £52 for 2 adults, 1 concession & 1 child and was probably only 6 rooms you can go in which was a bit disappointing although they are stunning rooms.

The keep, has amazing views and walking the walls was good and the museum was very interesting too.

The big problems for us was the loud music blaring from the "community cricket cup" which we found pretty awful and 100% took away from the peacefulness of the place and finally the toilets which were ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS..filthy, sanitary bins over flowing, no tissue, soaking floor!!!

A really beautiful castle. Beautiful in and out I must say. The guided tour is well worth it because you get to see all the extras. Amazing view of the city of Cardiff from the top of the castle. Truly magnificent!!

Nice historical site. Spent a few hours here walking around and there are some figures and installations to check out too including the dragon, a wall full of lion and wild cat statues, the fortress etc.

Located close to town so can access public transport, shops, restaurants etc.

Nice greenery space once you enter in through the gate.
