点评:This was a lovely day out with our 10 year old son, we particularly enjoyed the Robin Hood exhibition and playing on the interactive games in there. The dungeon tour was good fun, too.
If, like us, you were expecting to look around the insides of a castle in the traditional sense - it's not really like that. Although much of the castle exterior still exists, most of the castle itself was burned down in a fire, so what you are actually visiting is a museum that's got more of a modern feel to it.
The cafe is stocked with plenty of choice and the gift shop has some lovely souvenirs. The staff are clearly enthusiastic about the history of this castle so it's worth having a chat with them to find out more.
If you do visit the castle, it's also worth checking out Brewhouse Yard, which is located at the bottom. It's a set of old houses that you can look through, with staff to tell you all about it and entry is included with your castle ticket.
A nice bonus, is that the ticket is valid for 12 months, so you can visit as many times as you'd like within that time. We spent about 3 hours in there, including the dungeon tour.
This was a lovely day out that i'd recommend if you are visiting Nottingham.

如果您和我们一样,原本期望能参观传统意义上的城堡内部,那可能会有些失望。虽然城堡的外部结构大多仍保存完好,但城堡主体其实在一场大火中被烧毁了。因此,您现在参观的实际上是一座带有现代风格的博物馆。咖啡馆里有多种饮品可供选择,礼品店则陈列着许多精美的纪念品。工作人员显然对这座城堡的历史充满热情,因此与他们聊聊能了解到不少有趣的信息。
如果您前往参观城堡,也值得去看看位于其底部的布雷豪斯庭院。那里有一排古老的房屋供游客观赏,还有工作人员为您讲解相关历史。参观该庭院的费用已包含在城堡门票中。
这真是个不错的附加福利呢。这张门票的有效期为12个月,所以在这段时间内你可以随意多次参观。我们花了大约3个小时在那里,其中包括参观地牢。
这是一个很棒的出游日,如果你要去诺丁汉,我强烈推荐这么做。
