“Brilliant day out for families/groups with kids up to probably 12 years of age. Tickets and gift shop were good value. Loads of space to run around and a fantastic playground with an obstacle course (two sides for racing against each other)… We’ll be back!”

– Leanne Black

“We visited Glendeer Pet Farm today with our son, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

– Jonisha Joe

“An amazing pet farm! Staff are just great with kids taking the time to make sure they could pet or hold the animals! So clean and amazing play areas they really thought of everything this is our third visit while in Athlone… Kids love here, age 7 and 12!”

– Elle, 15

“Fabulous place to spend2-3 hours. We had two children 6 and 9 and they thoroughly enjoyed the animals, walks and playground. Very nice staff, good parking and lots of place for picnic.”

– Maria Q

“Absolutely amazing day. Caters for all ages and is so reasonably priced. Even the cafe inside doesn’t overcharge parents and all the staff were so lovely. The owner really knows how to run a great business, we will be back multiple times this summer.”
