Wow a really wonderful castle . So much history, really glad we stopped for a visit!! It really topped off our trip , wonderful place to have seen, the views of the river... Wow

Part of our Ireland road trip, we stopped in Limerick to see the castle. Just and awesome opportunity to be able to see this wonderful castle!

Spent nearly the whole day there and had a great time. Thought the mini cinemas were great idea for older kids and then the models and the tunnel great for younger kids, Gift shop great and also free, small museum right next door.

It is a great castle. It has a river and a bridge reallly close, that allows you to took great pictures.

Before my wedding my husband and had a week to ourself we decided to have a pre honeymoon. We couldn't of pick a place so beautiful to visit. A place that is worth visiting and recommending. From my personal experience this is a five star must see !!!!!!

King Johns Castle is currently closed for renovations and is scheduled to re-open in the Spring of 2013. It is operated through the Shannon Heritage Group, which also runs Bunratty Castle. So, unfortuently, If was not able to go in and visit, but am hoping that the castle will be exceptional once the work is completed.

The visitor center built in one side of the castle does not respect the structure and history. The presentation of the castle and the history of Limerick including AV, audio, and placards were informative but wish they were more in detail. The best part was a current excavation area which is open to visitors to walk through on wooden platforms.... More

lots to like, good value. Tells a story of the past. We were there in Oct and had the place to ourselfs

Limerick has a nice walk right along the river, and you can access both St. Mary's and King John's from the same street. It's a very nice walk to take and makes for great pics. As it was Christmas, we didn't get inside, but it still made for some nice shots.
