Great family fun. Views from the top were great and we all loved spying on people below through the cameras - beware you don't pick your nose close to this place if you don't want to be seen. We also liked the heat imaging thing and the flash thingy that took a picture of your silhouette - too many cool... more

Give the castle a miss and have some fun in Camera Obscura! more
