Nice little castle, with tours led every 40 minutes. Small snack shop on site, and boat tours leaving regularly. Limited parking available nearby. Some of the grounds can be accessed for free, whereas the tours inside the castle are paid only. Unfortunately there is no access inside the castle aside from the tours. Toilets available in site, and reasonably clean. Horse drawn carriage rides also available from very close by.

Ross Castle is a stunning place to visit and whilst we didn’t actually venture into the castle itself, the grounds alone were stunning and full of life. There were activity groups for schools/colleges happening whilst we were there and it was great to see the site being used for other, active purposes than just visitors. We sat out on the grounds, in the sunshine and enjoyed a picnic. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful castle although we did not pay the fee to go inside. The history of the place is so interesting and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. Our only complaint is that we did not have more time in Killarney to explore all that it has to offer. Our next trip to Ireland we will definitely be spending a few days to explore the city and parks! What a beautiful town it is!

Cycled along Ross Castle and the grounds of the park accompanying, beautiful views. Would recommend seeing on a bike or on horseback as a walk would take hours. Bring a camera! 📸

Some great Irish history here. Who doesn't like a good castle?!? Take the well-presented 45 min tour. Thought about also doing one of the boat tour options behind the castle but passed.

We loved walking around the castle and then hopping a boat from the castle over to Innisfallen Island, and we don't mind paying to tour places such as this because it goes towards upkeep -- however we don't like having to do a guided tour. We prefer to walk around at our own pace and try to avoid standing in a clump of people. Ross Castle only takes people through with a guided tour, so we skipped the interior. It's still interesting. It was very busy when we went, even though it wasn't high season yet. But when we took the boat across the lake to the island, there were less than 10 of us on it.

This is something that is really worth your time. We absolutely loved walking around through the history of this place. It is a very interesting Castle with a lot of religious history around it as well as some political history. I highly recommend going to this place because the surrounding grounds are excellent. It would not take very long for you to imagine yourself in the 1400s living in that castle. And since it is usually rainy in Killarney, you can see how important it would be to have a lot of space indoors. My only complaint is that it always seems to cost you the price of admission to get into these places. It would be cool just to be able to walk around without anyone talking to you or trying to give you some kind of History lesson on some of these castles.

The castle itself is worth a visit. The park nearby is truly wonderful. Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. If you are lucky with the weather, give yourselves an hour an a half to do a loop walk and feel the druidic spirit of Irish nature.
