People say it too touristy, but I think it's a must see. My experience may however be different as I went off season and not many people around. The entry price is worth it as the grounds are huge and there is a lot to explore. The sights are fantastic. Kissing the blarney Stone was an unforgettable experience. And so much fun. The grounds also has the witch's kitchen and wishing steps. A must try!!!. The castle by itself is pretty cool. Exploring some of the hidden small passage ways was fun. Parking available. A small cafeteria available. Staff extremely friendly. The myth and legends attached to the place is so much fun.

Beautiful grounds to a wondeful piece of history. Don't be fooled, the castle itself is just a small part. The gardens are beautiful, lots of nice trails and other things to see. Amazing vegetation and trees all around. Poison garden is pretty interesting but a nice diversion to check out. Not just kissing an old stone but a nice piece of heritage!

This was by far my favorite thing I did or place I went in my 2 weeks here! I only wish I could have stayed longer. The castle is cool, the grounds are absolutely amazing! Great place to just wander and enjoy the beauty of Ireland! If I could leave 10 stars I would!

Great authentic castle that has been kept up but not restored. The castle is a great place to walk around on but has very narrow and steep steps to go up. The city and grounds around the castle are spectacular and could I could probably spend more than a day just in the castle grounds exploring.

Such a great castle! We went in December but the weather was still wonderful and the landscapes were beautiful. What made it especially fin was that it was mostly empty. We were able to really take our time in the castle but could have run up to the Blarney Stone without any interruption.
