A family of two adults and two children pays 80 pounds. Definitely too expensive for what it has to offer: a beautiful park, a boring falconry show, a nice maze with an artificial grotto, a light-and-sound show celebrating the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt. Oh, and the castle: a private house with some furniture and paintings (but you cannot visit all the rooms, which are still used sometimes by the members of the Foundation administrating the building), and a souvenir shop selling you anything (candies, liquors, Xmas decorations, toys, wizardry stuff) but location-related souvenirs. I would definitely not recommend a visit.

It was our 15th wedding anniversary and as always we enjoyed our day at Leeds Castle. The only problem was no transport for Disabled people up the hill, my husband did it with his walker but was shattered, maybe a few benches on the way would help. I appreciate that in these times we need to take care.Maybe a minibus,for the more severely disabled! I was impressed with the oneway system and the number of sanitising stations

The best thing is the year and a day validity of the day tickets if you live within reasonable travelling distance. There's a lot to do and see if you have to pack it all in to one visit. We only spent a couple of hours there and mainly enjoyed the walk about, the gardens and the birds- but look forward to going back again and again and doing different things, and the price then seems very reasonable. Not so sure how I'd feel if I was paying for a single visit though.

Good friends of our held their wedding at Leeds Castle and both the venue and the organization were exceptional.
The place has a really natural beauty about it and I am sure it would be good to visit for the day too.

Love this place, it's so beautiful. Great day out with kids, take a picnic, enjoy the playground, feed the swans, taken the scenery. Even without going on the castle it's a worthy day out, especially as you can return for 12months with the purchase of a day ticket. Highly recommend.

Although it's pricey for the initial ticket, you soon get your moneys worth. I brought mine a couple of month ago and I've already been about 6 times. So beautiful and relaxing, even when its busy it doesnt feel over crowded as the grounds are so big. The ducks, swans and ducklings mist be the best part, you can tell their spoilt and well fed. The staff can be a little rude within the castle but the men through admission are always smiley and friendly. Buying the tickets online is definitely the better deal!!!

Great day out. Quite a large house building with lots of history and large grounds. They have a falconry area and a maze. In the summer they have medieval fairs with shops and jousting etc, well worth a look

The castle is in a picturesque surroundings with beautiful garden and river. Highlight of the day was black swans with red beak. The castle grounds are a good place for picnic and family outing. There are not many outlets for food. Good to bring along your own food. In case you want use public transportation avoid Sunday and holiday as the bus frequency is low.

The UK is very rich in castles - and Leeds Castle is one of the must-visit places!

Huge beautiful green territory is a perfect place to spend the weekend with your friends and family at. Just secure the whole day and get here to spend perfect city-escape day - play some active days, have a picnic, sunbath, relax and enjoy!

the Castle is beautiful and has a lot of history to share with you. English castles have always something to share with Tudor dynasty, and this one is not an exclusion. Enjoy your day away from London - I have plans to explore it during all seasons as golden autumn, sparkling Christmas and blooming spring will definitely have some special things

I visited Leeds Castle on a very cold sunny Sunday morning, my mobility issues meant I needed to use the special transport provided to get me from the car park to the Castle, the driver could not have been more helpful and friendly.
The Castle and grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the tour of the house fantastic, there is so much information on the history of not only the Castle but of its various owners and visitors along with wonderful photographs including one of JFK.
Another wonderful and memorable visit, thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

Stunning! I love this place, it has so much to do for both adults and children. Our kids loved the maze, play areas and falconry show, plus there was a really nice boat ride across the lake.
The grounds are amazing and beautifully kept, the gardener's and staff are a real credit.
Would thoroughly recommend.
We used to attend the evening events when we lived closer, and they were always really good.
