The Castle is open from Wednesday 1 April until Sunday 1 November 2009 inclusive from 10.30am until 5.00pm (last entry at 4.00pm).
Independent Tours
Visitors to Culzean are welcome to tour the castle independently. There are guides in most rooms who are always happy to answer questions. We also provide information sheets in each room which give details of the architecture, furniture, objects and painting. These are in seven languages English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Japanese and a large print version.

Organised groups may arrange a guided tour of the castle. This must be done in advance by contacting the reservations secretary. The maximum number of people for a booked tour is 30. Two or more tours can be booked leaving at 30 minute intervals. The tour will last approximately one hour. There is an additional charge of £2 per person.
