I'm going to be honest: we walked by it and it was real purty. Spent more time in the town wandering around. Do it as part of a day tour .
Small castle with minimal tour information available. The highlight was the Song of the Sea animation exhibit !
A very beautiful castle with a lot of history behind it. Had a lovely time here.
A beautiful castle in and out. Tour is free of charge for 2021. Needs to be booked online beforehand.
Stronghold of the Butler family . The long gallery has a vividly painted ceiling.
The painstakingly restored Kilkenny Castle was first constructed circa 1200. The home's most prominent owners were the wealthy Butler family .
Very picturesque and well maintained castle
Great park & historic experience
The castle a bit historical.
Beautifully restored castle with nice surrounding
Beautiful gardens , but the interior was somehow underwhelming for me.
Langtons ' operate the coffee station here during the summer - great quality take-way coffee at the perfect price.
Has a free bathroom near the cafe even if you don't pay to get in:)
Medieval from outside - Victorian from inside
walk along the river for an enchanting walk. Castle is a low affair...
Don't forget to download the FREE Kilkenny Castle iPhone app - there's free wifi in reception too!
Worth visiting if you visit Killkenny
That's cool.
Remodeled after the past. Has a museum feel to it.
€6 for a visit of the Castle is well worth the money! :-)
Park castle beautiful place for family
Nice castle
Don't believe the signs about closing timed because staff lock down earlier than posted hours.
a must see!!
A wonderful experience
Great place with a lovely park !
While here try the new langtons tea room either outside or down in the old kitchens inside.
Not really that impressive as far as castles go. Save the €6 and just do the free portions
The playground is great for kids.
This place is amazing.
While here look at the park behind the castle !
It was closed..
Есть информация на русском, спрашивайте на ресепшн , действуют карты Qwp, можно гулять без гида! Огромный парк ! Советую

Tanto el Castillo como el pueblo son muy bonitos y típicos, bastante representativos de la Irlanda más clásica .
Muy bonito aunque no dejan tomar fotos.
Los horarios de google no son los buenos, dependiendo el mes del año es su cierre y apertura. No se confíen en google.
Красиво! И сам городок очень мил

In olden times, while they were seeking refuge from the leprechauns, the minks used occupy themselves by trying to spit on the peasants below. Sometimes they would spit on pheasants too! - Aidan Clancy
Inner garden is really nice. Lovely place, chicken breast was amazing. - Arif
