A day at Kryal Castle

Was wondering what Kryal Castle was all about so we headed there one Saturday afternoon. Entry price for adults was $35 and $22 for kids but I got entry tickets of a discounted price from Groupon. The drive was about 1 hour and 30 mins from our house.

There was ample parking at the front of the place considering that it was Saturday.  The main entrance looked like a real castle with a moat and a drawbridge.

Kryal Castle is an indoor/outdoor venue. It is like a replica medieval castle.

The reception was quick to scan our mobile tickets and pointed us towards the Dragon's Labyrinth which eventually lead us inside the castle grounds.

The first thing that I saw was the Ancient Cemetery and the interesting tombstone writings it had.

Next to it was the Dungeons and Torture Museum. Depictions of how crime and punishment were done in the old times were written and illustrated here.

 I did not take a lot of photos during our visit but this makeshift jail good for one was in front of the museum.

They also had a small chapel and a banquet hall for events such as weddings or birthdays.

They had a room dedicated to the history of Kryal as well as lolly shops and gift shops.

The biggest part of the grounds was the Tournament Arena where we saw the Royal Joust. This is where the knights, wearing full steel amour and riding their amazing warhorse.

Lots of kids activities around such as giant inflatable slides, face painting, pony rides, archery range, potion making wizardry school and there was even a maze.

They also have a royal photographer to capture visitors in their finest. Kids and parents can be a court jester, king or queen or prince or princesses. Additional cost applies but prices already include costumes. 

The place entertains kids but honestly, did not do it for us. Nevertheless, happy to tick it off our list.

Thank you for reading and 'til next blog!
