The castle was very interesting, and a good place to explore for little ones.

Took our 6 year old grandson to see the castle and we had a great time!
He loved wandering around the ruins and exploring the grounds, dungeons and other rooms available.
There's not actually that much to do, but if you're interested in the history of the castle there are a few information boards on the major exhibits and a couple of exhibit rooms detailing some medieval artifacts and about when the castle was used by troops in the war.
We took a picnic with us and a had it in the grounds of the castle, so spent a good 4 hours there in total.
Without kids, you'd probably be done within a couple of hours.
Its not particularly expensive to get in but then it shouldn't be considering what little is on offer to see and do.
The shop sells an assortment of souvenirs and toys, as well as water and beer! If you want a coffee or real food then there's a pub and tea house near the entrance.
As others have noted there are no toilets in the grounds, or bins either for that matter. There's a public toilet block near the car park, a 5 minute walk from the inner castle grounds, but it's pretty rundown and manky. If you need to go then you'll go, but they really could do better in this regard.
The car park costs £2 to stay all day, which goes towards the castle upkeep. Fair enough.
Pevensey Bay is a 5 minute drive away, we visited and found a shingle beach and not a lot else, but worth a visit afterwards for an hour or so, to throw some pebbles in the sea or just pass some time.
All in all an enjoyable day out, particularly if you have younger kids.

Interesting historical (Romans to ww2) castle between two lovely Sussex villages. I did feel the new castle museum is a bit oversold on the EH website though - lot of wall boards, very few artifacts. But that could just be me... Great view from the top too.

A very impressive castle, I never knew how big it was on the inside! Both Roman and Norman built, I would reccomend a visit.
