Visitor Review

One of the best pet farms we have been too!

We love animals and have visited a lot of pet farm but this one is different, it is so hands on and interactive. The kids get a bag of feed for the animals on the way into the farm, they got to feed goats, donkeys, llama, deer and a kind of intimidating emu. Very funny!
They got to hold chicks, guinea pigs, lizards and cute little puppys. One of the staff even took out the Macaw parrot to show us.

There is a great play area for the older kids, with zip lines, Maze and obstacle course and my 2 year olds loved the indoor toddler area. Also the fairy tail was a big hit with the little ones, they loved finding all the fairy doors and toadstools. Great exercise for them, they didn't realise how much walking they did.

Its a great idea to bring a picnic, while we relaxed the kids entertained themselves in the play area or sitting in petting the little pups.

The staff were very helpful

Spent a full day here Saturday, would highly recommend. The kids (aged between 6 and 12) all enjoyed themselves from the minute we arrived. Great set up with plenty of hands on experience with the animals. The staff were very helpful. Large outdoor play area and picnic area. A lot more animals than expected too. Even after spending the while day there the kids could've stayed longer and all want to go back again.

Best Pet Farm in Ireland!

Myself and my husband took an impromptu trip here on our way up north. We were like a pair of big kids going around feeding and petting all of the animals! By far the best pet farm we have ever been to. A good array of animals and all looked very happy and well cared for. The team of staff were all very friendly and helpful.There were both an indoor and outdoor play areas for kids - so suitable in all weathers...though dry would be best!
