A great day in Lismore - The Lismore Visitor Centre staff were fantastic with their advice and you would be stretched to find friendlier people. The VR experience was great. We were a little disappointed that there is no visitor access to Lismore Castle, but the VR experience was a great overview of the Castle, its history and the past and current inhabitants.
Our visit to the Castle Gardens topped off a wonderful day for us.

Surprisingly good - Went in skeptical but I was shocked how good and immersive it was. I speak as a theology-history Ph.D. student. Very educational. Far less effort than walking around a whole castle

A great way to see inside the castle - I have never experienced anything in VR before and it was a really amazing way to experience Lismore Castle. Once you put on the headset it really feels like you are in the Castle. The presentation and the stories are a great way to learn about the history of Lismore and the castle and the celebrities who have played a part in its history. If visiting Lismore, this is definitely the best way to experience its best landmark.

Terrific Experience - This was a terrific experience. It gave us a great feel for the Castle. We visited as a family (8 adults and 5 children). Everybody enjoyed it. The guide (Gearoid) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
We decided to visit the Castle Gardens but when we discovered the charge of €9.00 we changed our minds. The Government should try to get the property back into Irish hands.
This is not the responsibility of the Heritage Centre but the Local Council should do something about the public toilets - they are a disgrace.

Lismore Castle 360 Experience - 360 Castle Experience is fabulous, for both adults and children. To finally get to see the beautiful rooms and halls as they are now, hear about the famous visitors and the history of the castle. Well done to all involved.Would highly recommended a visit.

A fun and stimulating dip into history! - A unique way to have an immersive experience of Lismore Castle. The real interiors are combined with re enacted scenes and famous persons who visited in the past. The staff are really lovely, welcoming and knowledgeable. We happened to visit on a day when the 360 experience was free for adult visitors. We enjoyed it so much that we have returned since with our family and found that children are free all the time. An extra bonus to a highly recommended experience!

Most enjoyable - The 360 tour experience was a brilliant idea ,its brings one into Lismore Castle and very well done to Gearoid our initial guide.A swivel position would be more exciting and you would feel more comfortable. The costume room was such fun and would almost go back for that alone.we got a most friendly welcome from all the staff and they add greatly to the visit and we're also most informative about Lismore Town. The Valults Cafe next door is not to be missed and the Ladies working in Cafe were so so pleasant. May I suggest on reference to towns associated with Richard Boyle that Bandon or Bandon Bridge be added to talk( George Bennett History Of Bandon).Best of luck to Lismore in this year's Tidy Towns competition, the place looked fantastic.Robin Turnbull and Friends
