    Our fourth visit to the castle, but our traveling companions’ first. It only took a few minutes to get tickets and it took about 10 minutes to get through security. While busy, it wasn’t overcrowded. The only line was to see the doll house. There didn’t seem to be as many Christmas decorations as our last visit. At £30, the castle is rather pricey to visit. We spent about 3.5 hours visiting it.

    We went with a view to paying our respects to Her Majesty, which we did, but the magnificence of the Chapel overwhelmed us both.
    The experience was enhanced by the willingness with which the very knowledgeable staff answered my many questions.

    The Windsor illuminated light show is a seasonal but not overly Christmasy affair. It is of a similar quality and scale to Kew Gardens, helped by having the lake and many wonderful trees as a backdrop. Some of the displays sound children focused, but even these - the fairy disco - are technically intriguing. Some installations take a two or three minutes to run through their cycle - its bemusing to find people walking straight past without pausing to watch the spectacle. Some will be familiar to light trail visitors here and elsewhere - the tunnel of light. Others were new - including the sipra-light trees and swirlpools; which draped over the forest floor, with a sense of bring under water. Also impressive was the display over the lake, this year called myths of the lake - a light projection onto fine mist including winged horses, a winter story book and a dragon.

    If you are travelling from some distance and are a good walker, it can be combined with a visit earlier in the day to Savill gardens. The starting point for the trail is in Savill car park. The charges vary a lot depending on the day of the week and time, mid week are cheeper. A few tips - earlier slots are better, it is dark by 16.30 and less cold to walk around. You can easily spend a couple of hours going around, longer if you spend time taking photographs and stop for a hot drink. There are toilet facilities 2/3 of the way around and at the start/end. There are benches to sit at two points but these stay very damp, a good idea to take something to sit on top of. The shop at Savill gardens (and toilets) stay open. The cafe and restaurant will also be open in the peak season. This has a good range of vegetarian and vegan choices.

    Great panto. The best way to start the festive season. The kids were having a wonderful time. Highly recommended. There are even a view double meaning gags to keep the adults entertained.

    Being a Real Ale fan, as too my wife, we decided to visit after a morning trip to the Castle. The young lady staff member was very helpful in explaining the whole range of beers etc, and even gave free samples. Once we had tried a couple, food was ordered, and was great value for money. The Brazilian chicken with spicy mayo and lime, complimented the beer as did the huge bowl of fries. The ambience and music was great even at 1pm in the afternoon. All in all a great place to visit and no shortage of beers and merchandise to take home. 🇬🇧🙂🇬🇧

    It was a huge site, although it had a lot of walking to get around. Can't go on all of the rides in one day. The rides were amazing and so was the 4D movie! The gift shop is very expensive so main things under £5 was the keychain (£2).
