Must visit for locals! I have lived near Newbridge for 3 years and always wanted to visit but never did until last month. The shop has something for everyone! Whether you’re looking for some jewellery, cutlery, Christmas ornaments or even preloved items! Price range is great, you can get 1 fork for a few euros or you can get a full cutlery set for 60e or something more bespoke too. The silverware factory tour is great, small and you learn a lot about how many they times they adapted and didn’t give up. I would recommend taking ear plugs with you if you’re sensitive to noise. Visitor centre also hosts Museum of Style Icons. It’s free to visit and they have the “revenge dress”. Finally there’s delicious afternoon tea to enjoy in the lovely cafe. Warmly recommend!

Visited here recently, such a beautiful shop,beautiful jewellery and homeware and much more...Christmas Shop all set up in there,gorgeous, well worth a visit....upstairs then is a museum....amazing ....I was mesmerised....bought a beautiful necklace too....and prices were good, theres also a beautiful cafe too....staff extremely helpful and friendly

Had afternoon tea in the cafe, nice selection of food and staff were so friendly. For the price of €67 I did think the sweet tier lacked a little bit. The museum is a must visit so many unique historic pieces and great that its free! Only issue is the toilets were so dirty so I couldn’t use the bathroom before leaving.

Beautiful shop, lovely jewellery where I purchased a new watch. Amazing restaurant unto it where we had lovely breakfast. Whitewater shopping across the road from it so a great day had.

Great sale plenty to choose from! Most stock in the shop was heavily reduced. I'd suggest getting there early as it can get quite busy as the day goes on and I'd imagine parking could be a difficulty. We didn't take a trip up to the museum but it's always worth a visit.

I love this place, beautiful silverware, if you need presents for anyone you will definitely find the here and the exposition is so nice. I had a very good time here. Thanks to the owner!

Wonderful place to visit. Embodies culture and timeless pieces. There is a shop selling gifts, jewelry, books and silverware. Also present is a restaurant to have some food on your visit. There is a beautiful free museum with fashion pieces from style icons. A lovely place to visit and learn plenty.

It's just an incredible place.))) Thank you so much for the tour and the opportunity to visit the walls where this delicious elixir, Guinness, is produced. I can't say that this was the kind of tour I expected, but they really surprised me. Everything was in the style of new technologies, and we got a lot of vivid and pleasant experiences from it. Indeed, Guinness spares no expense for the public, all excursions are a great pleasure. And yes, each ticket has a glass of fresh beer, don't forget to give it to the bartender and ask for it to be cashed in the form of a beautiful, fresh Guinness)) Thank you very much for this tour. I will be visiting Dublin again - I will definitely come again!)

Unforgettable Experience at Guinness Storehouse This weekend's visit to the Guinness Storehouse was truly amazing! We were captivated by the rich history of Guinness, expertly brought to life through interactive exhibits and engaging storytelling. The self-guided tour took us on a fascinating journey through the brewing process, from ingredients to iconic taste. Highlights: - Incredible History: Learned so much about Guinness's heritage and legacy - Interactive Exhibits: Engaging displays made the experience fun and memorable - Perfect Ending: Poured our own perfect pint at the Gravity Bar rooftop, with stunning Dublin views - Delicious Food Truck: Tried the tasty hotdog outside – a great snack! Guinness Storehouse is an absolute must-visit in Dublin! Allow at least 2 hours to soak it all in.

A must visit if you come to Dublin. This is a self guided tour that brings you on a journey of how Guinness came about and how it is made. Very informative. You start your journey at the ground floor and work your way up towards the 7th floor which is the gravity bar. With the ticket purchase you will have a free glass of Guinness beer with one of the best views around.

If tourists and Guinness beer aren’t your thing, you can skip this tour. Ha! This is a well-designed, modern, and thoughtfully curated museum dedicated to the history and craft of Guinness. Just note, it’s not a factory tour. I’d give the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin two thumbs up for a great way to spend a couple of hours in the city. The building itself is shaped like a giant pint glass, with seven stories in total. The main tour covers about three levels and walks you through the process of beer making. Floor 4 is all the fun advertising thought the years and media room to watch their iconic commercials. Don’t skip the tasting room, it’s a brilliant sensory experience where you can explore the aromas of Guinness and enjoy your first sample while learning how to properly drink the black stuff! You finish the tour in the Gravity Bar at the top (floor seven), which offers grand panoramic views of Dublin. All told, I give it five shamrocks outta five. Sláinte! 🍀🍺

Fantastic place and a must to visit! We learnt about the deep history of how Guinness was created / invented, the complex techniques they used, and also showcased the past and present equipment used to make the Guinness. Very interactive museum and a must to visit when you are in Dublin, the queue management was great, we didn't had to wait too long to get into the museum. Also highly recommend to sign up for the workshop where you can print your image on the Guinness stout! ♿️ wheelchair accessible entrance and lots of space to move around inside the Storehouse. There are lifts available to move to different floors too.

I had the opportunity to visit the Guinness Storehouse, which was the place I most wanted to see while in Ireland. There are interesting shops inside, and the history of the brewery, as well as the history of Ireland, is displayed and is fascinating to see. They demonstrate how to sample the stout, and there are delicious restaurants. Plus, the top floor offers panoramic views over the entire city of Dublin. The service staff are all great, and some were kind enough to offer me free beer samples (a pint :D). If I ever get the chance to return to Ireland, I will definitely visit this place again.

Guinness has a self-guided tour, which I was a little leery of, at first, but it turned out to be a great experience. We had just been at Jameson the day before and that tour is about 30-40 minutes. By us walking through the 5-7 floors at Guinness, I think we ended up spending 2-3 hours there. We enjoyed every bit of it from the intro speech on the building and history, to the various interactive brewing processes, to the historical bottles, mascots, and advertising, the tasting room, and finally, the bar on the top floor with the great 360 degree views of Dublin. Just was a really cool place with lots to see and experience. We also ate at one of their restaurants where I had a good Beef Guinness stew along with a Hop House 13 Lager. Really had a good time visiting here.

My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.

I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.

What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!

Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!

Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.

This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

Fascinating guided tour of the Gaol. Lots of information about Ireland's history and independence movement, including the many political prisoners held here. The museum was organized well and displays were clearly explained. Well worth the price of admission. Tickets sell out well know advance but day of tickets can sometimes be purchased online.

This was a great tour, covering the history of the prison, some of the notable figures who were emprisoned/ executed here, and some notable Irish history (the famine, Easter rising, etc) Our guide John was knowledgeable and engaging. At the end there is a museum which was well organised and had some very interesting exhibits, including the final letters four men sent to their mothers before execution, from 1922. There’s also a cafe, and a gift shop with lots of books on Irish history as well as the average Ireland souvenirs

I highly recommend this tour when you're visiting Dublin but please note: YOU NEED TO BUY TICKETS 4 WEEKS IN ADVANCE. I bought our tickets online and 10 minutes later they were sold out. Please visit the website, they explain everything. Our tour guide, Rob, was amazing. He spoke clearly and loud enough for all to hear. Rob was a wealth of knowledge. To paraphrase Rob, there's not a lot of happy stories here, but a lot of important stories. We learned a lot of history and highly recommend visiting.

Honestly the best thing you can do in Dublin as a tourist. It's not incredibly busy and is a very important cornerstone of Irish history. It's a heavy subject but was told with elegance and pause. I very much appreciate the can driver pointing us in the direction of the Gaol. Do yourself a favor and take the time to visit this place. And make sure you book well in advance as tickets fill up quick.

Did this tour as a spur of the moment, and wow, we wasn’t disappointed! Our guide (Adam) was fantastic and great at describing the history of the prison, plenty of emotion in his presentation of it which really made you feel how grim it was to be held there, The prison holds so much history for Ireland and the rebellion, after the walking tour you get to see the small museum which has loads f info and items from the prison and prisoners, especially the letters!! Hard read but so worth taking the time to read them. Entrance fee is tiny and they could charge more easily I feel as it was so informative. Thank you for the education from the visit ☘️🇮🇪

Hats down one of my fave visits in Dublin and the best presentation from any tour guide I've ever had. If you are lucky to get Adam as a guide, you are in for a treat. He has an exceptional storytelling skill that kept both the children on the tour and adults engaged to the max, and conveyed both the story of the jail and the resistance fighters in a fantastic way.

I had a perfect tour at Kilmainham Gaol — it was incredibly interesting and well-organized. Our tour guide, Thomas, was excellent! You can really see that he enjoys his work and does it with great passion. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin.

Great night in at the Wild lights, did not add many photo's as do not want to spoil the experience for anyone else. Highly recommend, great for families with kids of all ages. Loads of food options on site(slightly overpriced IMO) We wanted to see all the displays which required us having to walk through parts we had previously seen earlier. Great experience, all the staff were so friendly and very cheery with only added more positively to our experience!! Highly recommend, and hope anyone reading gets to enjoy this experience!!

This is a wonderful Zoo with a large variety of animals. Clean, easy to navigate, fun. The dinosaur exhibit was amazing. Lots of fun facts shared everywhere about the animals. Plenty of toilets all over and places to eat. There is a small family farm for the little kids and lots of playground around for the kids to play. Buy tickets in advance to save time and money. Overall a fun place for the kids to visit.

One of the best zoos I’ve ever visited. The space provided for the animals is second to none, and the staff are consistently friendly and courteous. The talks are engaging, particularly the elephant presentation, and the variety of animals at Dublin Zoo is truly impressive — far better than what I’ve seen in Sydney or London. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend a visit. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time at Dublin Zoo — truly one of the best family experiences in the city! The zoo is beautifully laid out, spacious, and easy to explore. What really stood out was the incredible variety of animals you rarely see elsewhere: Okapis, Asian wolves, snow leopards, and majestic gorillas. Each enclosure feels thoughtfully designed, offering great visibility for visitors of all ages — even the little ones can see everything easily. There are lovely picnic areas, plenty of benches, and a good mix of food stands if you prefer a snack on the go. The children’s playgrounds — both outdoor and covered — are fantastic for a little break between exhibits. We also loved the dinosaur section, which adds a fun and educational twist to the visit. Tickets cost around €22–25 per person, and you’ll want to allow at least 2–3 hours to fully enjoy the zoo without rushing. A perfect day out for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to spend a relaxed, inspiring afternoon surrounded by nature and wildlife!

Tickets can be purchased from the zoo... Arrived around 11:30pm and took a tour around 2 hours exploring around the zoo... We were excited to see animals but unfortunately we wouldn't find some animals while some of them are in deep sleep.. Area maintained well and directional signage available to guide visitors

Great day out. Lovely time of year to visit, not too hot so the animals aren't hiding out of the sun. Alot of food/icecream places are closed but didnt bother us but just note to bring snacks. We ate at the meerkat restaurant at the end. We got to see them setting up for wild lights, looks beautiful

A fantastic day out for all the family. We visited during the week in term time and it was practically empty which we loved. A HUGE mix of animals to see and some great little cafes. Only downside is the lack of seating near animal enclosures - but plenty in the picnic areas. Relatively flat route. We spent around five hours in total here.

My most favorite place in Dublin. A very huge park with old trees and beautiful greens. Lots of great spots and of-course the deers. A well connected and accessible place to disconnect from the city and enjoy some peace and nature.

One of the most magical places in Dublin, so close to city center it is the biggest park of such proximity in Europe. If you are looking for nature, huge green areas , deers, trees then this might be a good day out. You can use public transport which takes you straight into the visitor center or you can freeroam by car.

Absolutely loved visiting Phoenix Park! It’s incredibly spacious and peaceful — perfect for a walk, picnic. I was amazed by how clean and green everything was, even though it’s right in the city. There are plenty of trails, open fields, and beautiful views. A must-visit if you’re in Dublin and want a break from the busy streets.

It’s known as the largest park in Europe and truly captivates you with its stunning natural beauty. As you stroll through, you can see squirrels, deer, and even graceful fallow deer roaming freely in their natural habitat. If you’re gentle and patient, you might even be able to get close enough to pet them, as some of them are surprisingly friendly. However, keep in mind that feeding the animals is strictly prohibited, so it’s important to respect this rule for their safety and well-being. The park is the perfect spot for long nature walks, offering breathtaking scenery and a peaceful escape from the busy city life. Whether you visit early in the morning when the mist still lingers over the grass, or later in the day when sunlight filters through the trees, the atmosphere is always magical. You’ll come across wide open fields, serene lakes, and winding paths that make every step feel like part of an adventure. It’s definitely a must-see destination that you should include in your trip. And one last piece of advice — make sure you’re wearing comfortable walking shoes, because you’ll be covering quite a distance as you explore this enchanting natural wonder.

Absolutely beautiful park that is home to numerous historical sites and even the Irish president. Supposedly there is also a large population of fallow deer but unfortunately I never got to see any.

LOVED this place! Visited briefly on the open top bus tour and went back a couple of days later to go to the visitors centre and spot the deer. Absolutely lovely staff in the visitors centre and cafe, plenty of parking and great paths for youngters/prams/wheelchairs. Had an amazing tour of the castle (original house) and Fergus in the visitor centre directed us to the best place to see the deer. Visitors centre was great for adults and children to have a look around and find out about the history of the park in a fun way.

Truly a dreamlike park. Even when you feel tired, if the weather is pleasant, an indescribable desire to walk awakens within you, and you find yourself wandering its paths for hours. I wasn’t lucky enough to come across the deer, but the birds create such a melody that you feel as if you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. Sunlight filtering through the trees, spotless paths, a refreshing atmosphere… all of it together makes this place feel like an oasis hidden in the heart of the city. For anyone wishing to connect with nature, breathe deeply, and feel time slow down, it is an unforgettable stop.

Any fan of history needs to visit! The individuals who rest at Glasnevin have shaped the fabric of Irish history and, in some cases, the history of many other nations. When climbing the tower, be aware of any physical limitations as the stairs already 150+ and perhaps steeper than one might think. The tours will give you the chance to hear of the deeds performed by those who now rest there. Larger gatherings should probably book in advance, but the spontaneous individual will most likely be able to buy a spot on a tour at the entrance.

Very interesting tour of the cemetery. The tour guide Cillian was very knowledgeable & full of information which made the tour very enjoyable. We also climbed to the top of the round tower all 198 steps. Would definetly recommend to visit

Absolutely brilliant Tour .would highly recommend. Warren Farrell gave us the tour and he was outstanding. He knows his stuff . Brilliant stuff from him

Amazing tour! We really enjoyed every minute of it. So interesting & our guide Pat was so passionate & conveyed the information in such a clear & concise manner. If you enjoy Irish history this is a must visit! Nice little cafe located at the entrance & the cemetery is located right beside the National Botanic gardens. Together they would make a great day trip. The gardens have a wonderful array of plants & it is free entry.

What an amazing place this is History, social connections. All of Ireland and Dublin in one place. Do the tour, climb the tower and have a coffee

We visited the Cemetry on a bright Wednesday morning. We had booked the Tour and it turned out to be a very wise move. The Tour was excellent and the guide showed us the graves of all the notable people who are buried there. The walk is on very good surface with no inclines or dodgy footpaths. The guide gave us a brief resume of each notable figure at their grave and their standing in Irish history. We would highly recommend this Tour and to round it off we had a lovely lunch in the restaurant nearby.

A surprisingly engaging visit with thoughtful guided stories that add depth to the place. The grounds are impressive and peaceful, and walking through them gives a strong sense of history. It’s a meaningful stop if you enjoy places with character and reflection.

Fantastic day out! Really is a hidden gem. Well worth the price. Ample parking and picnic areas (including sheltered). Great little coffee shop/cafe. Indoor/outdoor play areas, lovely walking trails, good history of the area! Highly recommend and we will certainly return!

We had such a fantastic time here! This place is a truly great place to visit and learn, offering so much to see and do. The highlight for us was the huge indoor playground—it's practically a maze with tunnels and slides that kept the kids (and me!) entertained for ages. ​Beyond the play areas, they have a lot of variety, including fun things like a train ride and an outdoor playground. The live animals were a wonderful addition, and the little snack café and gift shop were perfect for a quick break. ​And for a memorable (and slightly spooky!) experience, the houses with the mannequins are a sight to see—they look so realistic, I wasn't sure if they might come to life! Highly recommend this spot for a full day of fun and exploration. Five stars!

Great day out for kids. Loads to do onsite, with a variety of attractions from animals, to the walks, to the train and indoor and outdoor play areas. Food very good also, and reasonable prices. Would return again and recommend to others. Recommend going early in the day as we had the place to ourselves before it got busy in the early afternoon.

Fantastic day. The train could have been longer but well designed and very informative. GOOD price. Well worth a visit

We had a fantastic time yesterday at Halloween Happenings! We were meant to attend the previous day but had to reschedule at short notice, and the guy on the phone who changed our booking was so helpful. My husband and two boys, 12 and 7, loved the Terror hunt, crazy golf, horror train ride and pet farm, which were all included in the price. From the witch who greeted us while we waited to check-in, to the juggler and crazy chain-saw clown, staff were fantastic! Queued for a while in the cafe but you expect that at a busy event. We even learned some Irish history as we made our way round. Definitely a great trip, and we will look forward to a return visit!

We had a lovely experience at Lullymore! The train ride was great and you could really see how much work and effort went into preparing everything. The attention to detail and creative ideas were impressive, and the actors were just brilliant! All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and there’s plenty of space for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. The café is lovely too, and the scones were delicious. A really nice day out for families.

We had the best experience at the Halloween event in Lullymore, thanks so much. It's very hard to find an experience that isn't too young or too old for young teens. We all loved the train, the laughs and screams, it was lovely to have fun together as a family. Mini golf was a big hit and an easy wander around the beautiful park was lovely. A great experience for us all and reasonably priced too. Loved it. Thank you.

We had a lovely time here over the weekend. I was really pleased with the experience and the prices are great, usually these type of places are expensive but this was not. Food was also reasonably charged. My daughter loved the bouncy castles and go karts. Some of the animals were hiding in their huts so we didn't see them all but was nicely laid out and the animals seemed happy and well cared for.

Fantastic place to spend the whole day really. Very clean, taken care of and entertaining.Kids had amazing time running around, checking on animals, the educational centre is fantastic! The restaurant has delicious food and the oeices are very reasonable. Can highly recommend!!

I visited on a weekend. Though my group of 4 people got tickets at the counter on arrival, it is recommended to book tickets in advance to avoid waiting time or disappointment. The entire place is designed for kids. There are many exotic birds and animals. Some are placed in small cages whereas some are in open fenced areas. There is a separate playground for kids too. Good place to visit in a group.

Lots of pros: food and beverages are reasonable in quality and price. We were told no pizza before 12:30, but then we saw someone with one at 12:15 🤨 The animals seem well cared for and they have many species. The playground was a lot of fun for the kids The road is very narrow so you might have a hairy moment trying to squeeze through.

Fantastic place.. kids have so much fun.. we had not been since last yr.. the new playground area is lovely and crazy golf

If the child is 5yo or bigger, will surely enjoy the place. There is golf, football ground, zipline apart from the animals.

Clonfert farm is the best pet farm in the whole of Ireland and excellently maintained. We could discover a lot of exotic animals and birds like marmoset , racoons , meerkats , Alpacas , wild birds from Latin America , Africa , East Asia etc. Feeding is limited to very few animals though. The Fairy trail, artefacts, Decor , Enclosures, details on the exotic animals are intriguing. The play facilities are one of the farm’s standout features. There are multiple outdoor playgrounds scattered throughout the park with Mini golf, Kids Buggy Ride, Bouncing Castle , Mini zip line and much more . There’s also an indoor soft play area, Barn Coffee shop, cafe , BBQ Area and Birthday venues Overall a great place to visit with family & kids

We visited two weeks ago and it was definitely worth it! The staff were friendly and welcoming. There are rides for both kids and adults, which made it fun for the whole family. We also enjoyed the zoo - a nice bonus to the day. The only downside was the long waiting time for every ride. Other than that, we had a great time and would recommend visiting.

Generally good, I'd give it 4.5 stars in fairness. October turned out to be a good time to visit, still a bit of atmosphere but fewer crowds and less queuing. Good variety of rides, and the staff were very pleasant - friendly, and helpful. The zoo/ raptor area and petting zoo were fun and well worth the visit. Again, lovely staff. Otherwise the rides were fun, value for money, thrilling enough and well run / maintained. Worth a special mention - a really decent amount of Blue Badge parking in the car park well above average. More places should follow suit. On the down side, the 5 D cinema was very disappointing. The movement of the seats was out of sync with the movie, the 3D element was all but non existent. It was the only attraction we all thought wasn't up to par. Overall though, very good value for money including the gift shop.

Our 3 year old had the best day at Emerald park. We went on a Sunday and there wasn't any wait for the junior zone rides. Even the adult rides were only about 10-15 minutes wait. Plenty to do and see. Great experience walking into the Lemur enclosure. Food in the restaurant was amazing, massive portions and great value.

Brilliant day out. Went with a 5 and a 2 year old, the youngest is 96cm tall and he could go on almost all of the rides in the junior zone, which has a minimum limit of 95cm. There were about 10 rides they could go on (that we found, anyway), so they were thrilled. There's also really big playgrounds for them to run around in and expend energy. We didn't really have to queue, and we could easily leave the buggy by every ride whilst we went on with the kids. There were lots of benches available to sit.down and rest when needed. The best part of the day was the Tricky Trail, there for the Halloween season - it was amazing! Lots of interaction with the staff who.couldnt have been friendlier. We'd like to go back in the summer and when they're a little older too. One thing is that the online interactive map kept freezing, so get a paper map if you can.

The park is not in county Dublin and there is not Public transport from Dublin City centre. The day that we went they were not many people as It was raining quiet a lot in the morning. So, we didn't have to wait long. The park is divided in two main sections: zoo and attractions. The attraction area could be also divided between adults and children. There is enough attractions to spend the day. In the zoo area, for me the star was the secretary bird. The first time I see one so close. There is a show where they showed you three raptors: secretary bird, bold eagle and falcon. It was really impressive to see these majestic birds.

Really incredible place to visit. The quality and amenities there are fantastic. It was a great day out, plenty of toilets and snack locations (important for the kids), and the food was excellent and very reasonable priced. The rides there are very good, something for everyone! Would really recommend!

I liked tayto park since I was a child, so here are some things that I love and dont love: >The bigger rides are amazing. My personal favourites are the Endeavour and the Cú Chulainn. They make your stomachs tingle and adrenaline flow. The Cú has THE drop that me and my body will never forget, but the tracks are so loud. >The smaller ones are mighty, eg. Flight school and Air race. They're good for the family but bring the same joy as the others. >I miss when Tayto owned the park as they would give you free crisps after you went. But what I do appreciate about the new ownership is the addition of Tír na nÓg. I liked the Quest, the Celtic Dreamer was average at best, but Na Fianna Force was so good I went twice, even with a torn ACL. My leg felt stable even though it is a suspended coaster. >It seems the junior zone is fun for little kids, as it was for me when I was small. At my grown age, I still like the Pony Monorail. >The food is exquisite. I loved them swirly chips around a stick, and dont even get me started on The Lodge. It's a big wooden carvery that serves great dishes for a large volume of people. Their chips are amazing, and I like their breaded chicken, especially the Parmigiana. Love, love, love. >The staff are lovely. They are usually young people who initiate a bit of friendly talk before the ride starts. I think they are very chill. One thing is, the rides take a good 5-10 minutes to let people in and secure. >The one star taken away from my review is just from personal interactions. The clientele can be really shabby, as the teenagers are cheeky and just some strange people around the park. Overall, I really like the one and only theme park in Ireland.

Amazing castle.. love the history. Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. The tour takes about an hour inside and will cost money, exploring the grounds is free and maybe 30 to 45 minutes for that. The Braveheart castle... worth seeing.

Trim Castle is a beautiful historical landmark to visit, with a rich and intriguing history. The castle grounds are free to visit and explore, whereas entering the castle is possible for a small fee of €5 per person. We decided to take the guided tour, which was led by William. I highly, highly recommend this. William is very knowledgeable and humorous. His knowledge regarding the castle's history goes far beyond what you would expect. He answered any questions posed by the group with sheer joy and enthusiasm. The tour takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, and takes you through the various rooms and floors in the castle. The view from the rooftop is amazing. Thank you William! It has been a pleasure to listen to you.

I really enjoyed my visit to this castle. Its history is fascinating. Plus, the views over the city from above are excellent. 1. Largest Castle in Ireland: Trim Castle is the largest Anglo-Norman stronghold in Ireland, covering an area of ​​approximately 30,000 m². It was built in the 12th century by Hugh de Lacy as the center of the Lordship of Meath, and its massive walls with towers and a moat made it virtually impregnable. 2. Unique Architecture: The castle's central keep (donjon) has a rare cruciform shape with twenty corners, which distinguishes it from typical Norman fortresses. This three-story structure was erected on the site of an ancient ringfort and is surrounded by a massive curtain wall 450 meters long.   3. Film Role: Trim Castle became famous as the filming location for the movie "Braveheart," starring Mel Gibson, where it stood in for the medieval walls of York and London. The war film "The Big Red One," starring Mark Hamm, was also filmed here.

We visited Trim Castle on a sunny afternoon and absolutely loved it! Even though it’s mostly ruins today, you can still feel how grand it must have been — Ireland’s largest Norman castle, right by the River Boyne. The grounds are free to walk around, and entry to the tower is just €4 per person. The view from the top is fantastic, and it’s fun to know parts of Braveheart were filmed here. A beautiful mix of history, atmosphere, and scenery — definitely worth a visit!

Trim castle has a free guided tour, I believe every hour. Interesting facts, and three built models, showing how it was built up through the years. Quite a few towers, had fallen down, or been scavenged. There is a large cathedral tower falling down across from the castle. And, when you get above the Keep, you can see by most of the stones surrounding the castle where the walls were, a sheep gate, and where most of the towers stood.

A really great old castle, one of the largest because of the area inside the walls is quite big. There’s a really good guided tour inside the Castle Keep. You have to take the tour to see the inside, well worth it. The tour takes you all the way to the top, which is a fantastic view over the area and the town. I was lucky it was a sunny warning when I got there and took the tour and it started to rain just as I was leaving the castle. Get there early at opening before the crowds. There’s lots to see inside the Keep with models of what the Keep used to look like. You can walk around inside the castle grounds with lots of good views of the Keep from the outside. The tour guide was very informative and happy to answer my many questions.

You'll feel like royalty wandering these ancient stones!

Beautiful place! Even though the house is undergoing renovations so we couldn't visit it (and nobody advised us when we bought the tickets), the gardens are worth the whole visit. Amazing array of plants and flowers and trees, even a fairy garden for the delight of all the visitors ☺️ Super recommendable!

I recently visited Belvedere House Gardens & Park, and had a great time. First of all, staff at the entrance are helpful and attentive. They gave us a guidance map and made sure we do not miss anything. Belvedere itself is a combination of serene walking paths through the forest, and the historic charm. Ideal for relaxing and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're into photography, history, nature, or just looking for a tranquil escape, Belvedere is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

It's a lovely place with beautiful scenery and walks. My favorite was the fairy garden but it's all truly worth the visit. It'll transcend you back in time.

Beautiful setting, sprawling picnic spot, lake walk, children's play area, forest walk, beautiful walled garden, fairy garden, and old architecture. Good food and area to relax. Overall experience is excellent.

Very beautiful location. Nice little outing and feeling as if in a old english series. The ice cream is really good and the staff working in the cafe are friendly and kind with the kiddies. Only drawback was that they busy doing some maintenance at the moment however it is still a lovely outing lots of little things to do at a reasonable price.

it's not cheap. Even when the main attraction - the palace - is closed, the entrance ticket price is almost the same.

Visited Thursday. Clean and well kept Gardens .Good walks with plenty of sign post .Quiet and car park secure .

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but was very happy to discover that there was a timed, guided tour with limited numbers. There's a chance to look around the visitors centre before you board a private bus to the first stop - Nowth. The tour was about an hour long, but the time went very quickly - despite the awful weather. Next stop was Newgrange. Again we had plenty of time to listen to the guide and take photographs. The highlight was being given entrance to the middle of the tomb and seeing the skill that went into making it. Wonderful, humbling experience. Well worth making the trip and very good value for money. Compared to Stonehenge, it's much better. Better value, more interesting, proper guided tours, plenty of opportunities to take pictures and limited to small groups. Stonehenge is, in comparison, almost £30 each; packed like sardines onto a bus; told to 'move along' when you do get to the stones and no guide.

Super neat place that supposedly pre dates the pyramids. The tour guides were really knowledgeable and cracked a few puns. Very neat to see all the ancient pictographs, and view some of the symbols that are present all over Ireland. I really enjoyed this visit. Perfect weather when we went.

You cannot miss visiting this UNESCO World Heritage site. Book ahead otherwise you won’t get in. Book via the dedicated website. It’s simply amazing to see and have the guide tell you about civilisations Neolithic and 3200BC. It’s the oldest site I’ve ever done.

Great place to visit, young and old. From petting the animals and feeding the sheep, holding day old chick's, Plenty of space for children to run around. Play areas for children too.

Newgrange is an amazing site to behold. So ancient and mind blowing. Keep an eye on the weather. We did Knowth on our tour and it was very wet and mainly outside. Shout out to Tour guide Suzy, she’s so passionate about landscape archeology. She’s very knowledgeable and good looking and wish I could have got her number. Good stuff!!

WOW, what hisory this place holds! spectacular countryside. very good tour gide. book in advance !

A piece of prehistorical history. It's really impressive how these structures came to us across the millennia. There is a visitor center with an interesting exhibition. You can choose different kinds of guided tours: only new Grange or also knowth and sought. Sometimes, as for us, you can't visit the tumulus inside. Very good experience.

The Irish Military Museum is an absolute treasure. The collection is incredibly impressive, covering a huge range of military history with real depth and detail. Every exhibit is thoughtfully curated, and you can tell how much passion has gone into creating such a fascinating experience. Whether you're a history buff or just curious, there's something here for everyone. The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, making the visit even better. I highly recommend a trip — you’ll come away amazed and wanting to return!

What a great gem. 2.5 hrs walk around when inside look up look down look everywhere, you will miss something. It's an amazing museum lots of history exhibited in one place. Try on uniforms guns sit in different vehicles it's really interactive for children. Friendly staff very knowledgeable. Loved it so did the family. We would have stayed longer only I got hungry. Pitched our bell tent out back in the campsite and used this as our base for the weekend. Lovely quite spot and would recommend. Thanks again collon for everything.

OMG!!! This place was amazing! I saw artifacts that I never DREAMED that I would have the opportunity to ever see let alone touch in my life. Wonderful display everything you can think of. Support local...visit this museum.

First time visiting absolutely brilliant highly recommended if you're interested in history the owner is first class with information on history of ww1 & ww2 absolute gentleman.👍👍👍 will visit again.

Amazing war museum and very informative descriptions on all exhibits. Reasonable entry fee and car parking. Very nice owner who has collected everything. Definitely recommended!

Cool museum , also has camping, 20 euros a night, not much more than a safe place to sleep, bathrooms could use some cleaning !

Very impressive collection thoughtfully displayed. Owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a vist

This is one of the most famous archeological sites in Ireland that is a burial ground for ancient people over 5,000 years ago. Caution: the walk is long and very steep.

Historical Landmark with exceptional views and well worth a visit. Be prepared for a bit of a hike but well worth the effort, guides and information when you get there.

Beautiful view from the view. The tomb is maybe not overly impressive but depends on what you expect. It's a short, few minutes walk from car park but pretty steep.

This was better than I had expected. It is very easy to get to and very well maintained. There is a bit of a hike up to the main cairn but definitely worth it. Amazing views of surrounding g countryside.

Great visit in spite of the wind. The place is beautiful with a great view of the surrounding area. We also really enjoyed the guided tour. I would recommend it if you are not afraid of getting through a steep enough climb.

An impressive megalithic site that requires a bit of hill walking to reach. Sadly, I don't think it is possible to get a key to enter the cairn anymore, but it is still worth a trip.

Steep short climb, great view. Amazing that people thousands of years ago built these Cairns.

Love walking around here. Brilliant place for a walk any time of year. Some paths very uneven and damaged, due to storms. However must have been cleared, and by the looks of it, they working to clear the rest. Also seen a coffee trailer at it this time, was open when I was there but will definitely go back to try.

Lovely park! They accept card payment for parking now (around 5€). Toilets aren’t maintained but otherwise very nice walking trails and dense woods! Must visit once.

Wow, what a park! Dún a Rí Forest Park is a hidden gem — full of beautiful forest trails and peaceful walks along the water. Perfect for all weather and great for families or solo explorers alike. We really enjoyed the visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature!

We were a group of 10 and hiked for hours in this forest. The kids enjoyed stepping on the stones in the stream. Some lovely sights, fresh air, exercise. The signage could have been better as kids eventually got tired and there were lots of trails to get lost on. Overall would hike here again.

Tucked away near the historic castle, this forest walking spot is a true hidden gem. The trail winds through lush greenery, with tall trees forming a natural canopy that filters the sunlight beautifully. It’s peaceful, well-maintained, and ideal for a quiet stroll or a reflective walk.

It's a lovely forest park with great picnic area. Perfect for Sunday walk with the family

Dún a Rí Forest Park is a beautiful and tranquil spot, perfect for a peaceful walk or a family day out. The woodland trails are well-marked and offer a mix of riverside paths, shaded forest walks, and open clearings filled with wildlife. The scenery is stunning in every season, especially along the river with its old stone bridges and waterfalls. There’s plenty of parking, good picnic areas, and clear signage throughout. It’s an ideal place to unwind, explore nature, and enjoy a bit of local history.

Me and my Family had an absolutely fantastic experience at Dundalk Racing Stadium! From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine care. A special mention has to go to Laura—her communication in the lead-up to the event was second to none. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and her attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. On the night, the floor staff were outstanding. They couldn’t do enough for us—always on hand, friendly, and going out of their way to make sure everyone had a brilliant time. It really made the experience even more enjoyable. The stadium itself is a great venue, and when it’s matched with this level of service, it makes for a truly memorable night out. Highly recommend for a night at the races!

Visited Dundalk Stadium for the first time for dog racing and had a great evening! The atmosphere is amazing — lively, exciting, and full of energy. There’s plenty of free car parking, which is a big plus. On the ground floor, there’s a takeaway café — handy for a quick bite, but the food was quite plain, with no seasoning or much flavour. Upstairs there’s a full restaurant with panoramic views of the track; we didn’t try it this time, but it’s definitely on the list for our next visit. The stadium is clean, well-organised, and offers both greyhound and horse racing events. Great facilities, bars, and plenty of seating. I hope that next time we’ll have a bit more knowledge about dog racing itself — for now, we just enjoyed the spectacle!

Dundalk provides a key outlet for Irish racing, so that I am sure is important, and I think it would be a good place for a company outing. The greyhound racing just with horses instead of greyhounds felling is just not for me.

A few of us went here for a night out. Had the carvery(very tasty) on arrival and then a few pints and bets. Lots of tote facilities and also the traditional bookmakers available.Thankfully came out ahead on the betting

Very good but a little quiet

I brought 29 passengers and they had a brilliant time

It's set a very handy place looks very good

Brilliant museum, so much to look at and my little fella especially loved the trenches out the back. Plenty of things to interact with too! Has a cafe on-site but didn't go into it, from the looks of it I think it was just scones and chocolate bars along with coffees. Would highly recommend visiting!

What a great day out. My 10 year old and 2 of his friends had a blast in trenches and even tried reinacting the war. The museum is lovely also. The staff were amazing and so very friendly. Will definately visit again.

Really enjoyed visiting Cavan Museum today. Margaret was so helpful she made our visit so lovely. There is so much to see It's worth going to and so reasonable. All the staff were very friendly. Well done everyone 👏

What a great place to visit & a lot of history ,we would highly recommend & a lovely little coffee ☕️ shop on site !

Fantastic place to visit. Wonderful and informative exhibits of modern irish history and an outdoor representation of a WW1 trench. Took a few hours to get through everything and could have spent more time here if I could. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Will make a return visit before the year is out. (6 stars if I could give it)

My second visit to the Cavan County Museum, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first visit. The WWI Trench Warfare installation was open this time, though only about half, it looked like. It was still interesting and informative about what the soldiers would have experienced in the trenches. The indoor museum is amazingly thorough and two visits aren’t enough to take it all in. This visit the top floor has a new exhibit about the Irish War of Independence, and there is so much history, pain and eventual triumph, though many years before peace. Here are just a couple of photos of the archeological exhibits that are so fascinating.

A great place to spend a day, good variety of exhibitions to take in. You do need to give yourself time to wander round as there are three floors and an outside garden and area where there is a replica WW1 trench to explore. Lovely little cafe to have a bite and a cuppa as well. A really great experience, we will definitely be back.

Great course, with some amazing views. Very long and hilly though, I'd love to go back for a round... But only if I rent a buggy this time 😅 it's tough and very challenging, probably more suited to low h/c golfers. Bring plenty of balls with you as it's basically surrounded by water.

Great views from the restaurant, golf course is a good challenge and food was above excellent

Love love love this place. Possibly one of the best courses I've played in Ireland, the course and its scenery is phenomenal. Plus going by the price of golf along the north coast it is dirt cheap. Club house is gloriously set up above the course and the staff, food and the guiness are fantastic. Well worth the trip for any golfer.

Went to The View for Easter Lunch. The views are spectacular and the restaurant is very comfortable. Food was acceptable but dissapointing for the images seen on the website. Expected a more upmarket dining experience but alas was not. Cutlery needs replacing (this type you expect in canteen, not a restaurant).

Beautiful setting lovely bistro staff were chatty.

Great course in a magnificent setting 😍⛳️

Lovely golf course would play every week if I could

Absolutely fantastic, what a bitta crack! If you’re looking for a thrill and a way to past a weekend, come here. All the staff where so helpful and great crack, the cars where so fun to drive and all I can say is I can’t wait for the next time!

Such an incredible day all round. Instructors were encouraging and made sure you felt comfortable. Staff exceeded all expectations - chatted between laps and showed us vehicles that used to rally, being fixed etc., made sure you were happy with the cars/instructors. Lunch was super tasty. Would love to go again!

I'm writing to share what an absolutely fantastic time my son, Eoin, had at Rally School Ireland this morning for his 15th birthday! From start to finish, the entire experience was top-notch. The instructors were truly brilliant. They were knowledgeable, patient, and created a really exciting yet safe learning environment. Eoin was buzzing about how clearly they explained everything and how encouraging they were throughout his time on the track. And the cars! Wow! Eoin was completely blown away by the amazing rally cars. Getting behind the wheel of such powerful machines was a dream come true for him, and he hasn't stopped talking about it. Rally School Ireland provided a truly unforgettable birthday experience for Eoin. It was well-organized, professional, and most importantly, incredibly fun. I highly recommend Rally School Ireland to anyone looking for an adrenaline-pumping and expertly guided rally driving experience. Five stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to all the team at Rally School Ireland for making Eoin's birthday so special!

This is a one fantastic day out to fill all you dreams of driving fast cars and being shown how to correctly drive at speed by professionals. The staff are 100% dedicated to your whole experience on the day. Thanks to all the staff involved.

My partner bought me the 3 car driving experience for Christmas and we used It today for my birthday, all I can say is excellent. 👌💯 Great facility, staff were extremely nice and all the instructors are great craic . Cars and track in top condition..would highly recommend to anyone interested in rallying or not great experience for all. Thanks very much to all the team. Will definitely see yous again...and now considering organizing my stag party to start hear 😁

What a fantastic experience, an amazing day out. Got the Junior Rally experience for my son's 16th birthday and he was blown away. Younger son is already looking forward for his turn :) The staff and instructors were amazing, couldn't have been more nicer and helpful. It's such a pleasure to meet such a passionate people. I'd absolutely recommend this to everyone. Will be back for sure to do the family race day ! Brilliant experience

Went for the Subaru rally experience. Highly recommend going. Staff know their stuff and are a great mix of professional and fun. The track is excellent. The cars are well prepped and you really can let them loose and have a lot of fun. Was so impressed we booked in for the Drift experience so will update soon.

The house is beautiful. You have to join a tour which takes over 1 hour but is well worth it. The interiors are lovely but as many of the items are on loan, from the Lowry-Corry family who still live there, you are not allowed to take photos. You end the tour via the servants' tunnel, which was built so as not to be seen by the gentry. Access to the house is via steps by the visitors centre/cafe. Parking is close by. The walk around the lake is less than 2km but due to the shrubs and trees you only get one good look at the lake. There is a golf course there but it is private.

Our first time visiting here and we really enjoyed it , Noelle who took our house tour was very very knowledgeable about the house and what the history etc. We didn't get to the team house or too all the ground's but the book shop was good and worth a visit.

We didn't spend much time here. We walked around and had some lunch. It was really pretty, but don't expect a castle. it's a stately home.

**National Trust meets Downtown Shabby** I was very disappointed by my visit to Castle Coole Estate. The house was in a poor state of repair, with some rooms looking very run down and shabby. The fabrics were worn and faded, and some of the furniture was sparse and imposes uninviting. But invites taking your money no problem. Not the sign of a wealthy estate I've come across to expect. One room was very dark. I felt I could have done with a flashlight to look around. Mostly, everything is roped off, and the house has restricted access for paid visitors. There are very few places for people with disabilities to sit down and catch a breath. They're roped off, too! The only room that impressed me was the rotunda, which had some beautiful gold decorations and an Irish harp. Possibly why the National Trust tour guide books have been withdrawn from sale to National Trust members and visitors? The staff were mainly very rude and unwelcoming, especially when they told me that I was not allowed to take any photographs inside the house. There was no sign anywhere that said this, and I felt like they were violating my rights as a visitor. Despite this house being used in local television programmes and locally infamous. They also did not explain anything about the history or significance of the house and just rushed me through the tour. After an hour, I was never so glad to leave. The time really dragged. We were constantly watched as a group around the house as if we were being treated as commoners and potential thieves. The only nice women I found around the estate was a receptionist and an elderly voluntary lady in the library shop. The courtyard was a mess, with peeling paint and weeds everywhere. The café was a joke. Just garden tables and chairs outside with what looked like an ice cream van. Tbh, I've seen better stalls at Nutts Corner Sunday Market. The gardens were nonexistent, just a field of overgrown grass and cows. Contrary to the map in the outside overlooking. The lake walk I paid for is possibly the my shortest in recent memory. I felt like I wasted my time and money at this place, and I would not recommend it to anyone. It is a shame that the National Trust and its current inhabited residents do not take better care of this historic estate.

Really enjoyed our visit to Castle Coole and our guided tour of the house. A fascinating historical trip back in time.

This was my first time at Castle Coole. It is such a beautiful spot. Even though it's situated in the heart of Enniskillen Town, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere it's so serene and peaceful. The lake views, the mountain, the mansion, the grounds, it's all so beautiful. We took a guided tour in around the house. Unfortunately visitors aren't allowed to take any pictures inside but the tour was interesting, very informative and full of history and engaging facts. The interior is splendid. So many beautiful details to see and experience. If you're in the area I would recommend stopping by here. The coffee shop too was full of lovely treats and a great cup of tea. All the staff ee encountered were so welcoming and friendly.

I have visited the grounds many times before walking my dogs, however this was my first time inside the house. Its stunning, I was not expecting to see so much of the interior. Our tour guide was Emma, she was a vibrant fun tour guide, very polite, knowledgeable & welcoming. We ended up having a tour alone with her as no body else showed up to that particular tour slot (although there were 25 in the previous tour). We really enjoyed the tour & learning about the history of castle coole. Owners requested no photos of the interior home are allowed.

I love castles, but this time I can tell that I did not feel at ease in it. I supposed to find more informations about the Maguire family and their history, instead what I found was a war museum where tanks are pointed towards the castle as if to symbolise the supremacy of England over this Irish family that was the owner of the castle. There is just a small display case with some of their stuff and a small room that shows the story of this family in the castle. The other parts are a war museum with noises of battles, army medals, weapons... To me, it was a bit disappointing...

Very interesting museum with numerous displays. We learned a lot of local history. My husband is a military history buff so he particularly enjoyed those displays.

On our first trip to the north of Ireland we stopped in Enniskillen for a quick break by a river bank. On a whim we decided to have a look around Enniskillen Castle. £6 each for tickets which is very very reasonable in my opinion. We didn’t really follow any predetermined path, just started rambling. What a lovely, informative and educational ramble that was. Beautifully laid out and meticulously maintained displays chart the rich history of the area through the ages. From early settlers to the industrial age. Across to the military museum that shares the history of the Royal iniskilling Fusiliers and their involvement and sacrifice across many wars. A totally unexpected experience that I can only highly recommend.

A great way to learn some history of the area with a lovely cafe inside for a tea afterwards. Definitely worth the visit

Always a great experience visiting Enniskillen Castle. Something new each time. Our guide, Frank, is probably the most knowledgeable about the history of the area and always so pleasant! Delicious food in the café and a very nice gift shop, as well.

Very interesting spot. We didn't intend to visit. were just out for a walk and seen the door. Ended up spending a couple of hours

Great for children mainly, or military enthusiasts. Staff are friendly and helpful and lots of history and information with guided walking map.

Went with a group, staff were friendly, place was well maintained. The staff member with us during activities was great craic too. There's loads of activities but it seems best to book in advance what activities you'd like to do. Had a blast, would recommend to groups, families and parties. I will say though, some activities are on some rugged terrain, best to wear old clothes and comfy footwear. Some areas may not be accessible for wheelchair users.

If I could give 6 stars I would, staff are beyond helpful and friendly, we had the pleasure of dealing with a really great guy called James. We spent the entire day on motorbikes as well as doing ride on adventure lap with james piloting the epic vehicles! Couldn't recommend this place enough, value for money, amazing facilities and beyond a lot to do!! Will be back regularly!

I visited two weeks ago for a motorbike ride in the middle of the forest. An incredible experience. I guess because of the event and bad weather, the other facilities were closed. The food in the restaurant was good, the pizza a bit burnt. Prices adjusted.

Organised Stag do for here and was very impressed... Nice accommodation, good onsite facilities and staff were brilliant. Was able to get into the cabins before the stags to decorate/set up which was great. Brilliant overnight stay had by all ... Will definitely be back. Thank you

I am genuinely disgusted by the state of the cabins. The sleeping areas are completely unacceptable. The beds are infested with bed bugs, and the mattresses and linens are in such poor condition that it’s impossible to feel comfortable or safe. On top of that, the walls show visible mold, creating not only an unpleasant odor but also a serious health risk. To make matters worse, the cabins are crawling with insects of all kinds, making it clear that they have not been properly cleaned, treated, or maintained in a very long time. What should have been a simple and restful stay turned into an unhygienic and distressing experience that no guest should ever have to endure.

The best adventure day out, full of laughs and fun for all. Staff all 5 * very friendly and helpful and all looked like they loved being there, which made the day even better. Also a place for food, very clean and well maintained. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Had a ball this weekend. The staff were so accommodating James looked after us from the get go. Thank you Ben and all for such a great day/night. Will definitely return!!

If you're nearby (esp if you're American) don't miss this place! What a gem to learn about life in the late 1700's -1800's, why people immigranted to America, and what it was like. They've put so much thought into this place and the people working there were really genuine and knowledgeable. We spent 4 hours and I wish I could have gone back, it does get a 'wee' 😉 bit tiring, so bring snacks or take breaks. Hopefully you'll have better weather than us and can sit in the sun!

Brilliant museum! A living history lesson. So well laid out and presented. Every house, bakery, craft, school, blacksmith, sweet stall to the ship bound for Baltimore, America had active people in costume relating stories, traditions & customs of the Irish people in the late 1700’s to mid 1800’s. I just loved it and you will too. Make this top of your list of places to visit in Northern Ireland. 🇮🇪 These immigrants were the lucky ones 🍀

An amazing experience and it was well worth a visit. All the staff that were in costume and in various buildings were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and friendly. A 10 star review from me

Excellent insight to the way of life, the Irish famine, the crossings to America and the immigrants arrivals in the New World. Superb guides and the sun shone all day. It was fantastic

A great historic park, with buildings and exhibitions reflecting life in Ireland in the 1800's and life in America.

We visited the Folk Park yesterday. What a great experience. I would recommend for all ages.

Really interesting. Wandered round for a few hours learning about Irish immigration to America. Also the potato famine. Fascinating buildings and shops. School was great and good fun. Staff were knowledgable. Boat was very clever and was a good link between the Ireland side and the US side.

A fantastic park, with beautiful walks, the train is special, going on the hour, every hour, taking 15 minutes to travel around the lower gardens. The cafe has a great selection of choice on their menu and all the facilities are spotlessly clean. Very well done to all the friendly staff, we had a great visit.

beautiful park, many statues, many photo zones. There are toilets. The park has a cafe, parking, playground, children's golf. There is a train that goes around the park.

Definitely one for a family day out. The train ride is pet friendly so we were delighted to take our dog on it with the kids. Water bowls everywhere around the dining areas which was very helpful too. Train journey is about 10mins long so well worth the extra fee at the gate. The maze is fun for the kids and the gardens are simply stunning.

I went for the music festival. Very well organised and lovely staff ,from the security to the bar staff and catering. We were all greeted with a smile and a chat. Music was brilliant.

Had a awesome experience today, highly recommended, Fun train ride a must , gives you a wonderful experience of the park

This is a great gem.. we were a group of 5 ranging in ages from 6yrs to 70yrs.. we spent about 3.5hrs here. The train ride is so sweet, a walk around the park is just beautiful.. the cafe was lovely * we just had tea & cakes.. staff were super nice & friendly. Bathroom facilities were very clean & well maintained. We also visited the walled garden which is really beautiful & well worth a visit.. there's a great kids playground.. I would absolutely recommend visiting here, overall its just beautifully presented. We all loved it & would definitely visit here again ❤️

We had the best afternoon here with our 2 small dogs. Miles of gorgeous walks around the estate, with lots of interesting things to see. We had a lovely lunch at the restaurant, where the service was great. And we went on the wee train and the dogs were allowed on too! Oakfield Park is a fabulous spot. Highly recommended.

Very well maintained for being 5 centuries old. It's slippery when raining, so wear the right footwear.

Fabulous part of the world

The bridge opened on 25 June 2011 to connect the two sides of the city, over the River Foyle, both physically and symbolically. It measures 235 metres (771 ft) and was designed by bridge AECOM and Wilkinson Eyre Architects.

Beautiful bridge across river Foyle for pedestrians and cyclists. Nice view of city from the bridge. Sunsets and evenings make this place looks photo perfect. It looks much better in reality than my photos lol. You can also access a nice walk along the river through St Columb’s park.

Very nice little bridge, great view of the city. The architecture is wonderful.

Amazing place,try to visit during day time.

Lovely bridge. Have walked across it many times and plan to walk it many more! There's a cycling lane too, and the bridge is nice and wide so can easily accommodate this. There are also two large benches on the bridge.

Bridge is open to all. It's very stable and secure with cameras on the pylons. It's essential for crossing from the river without traffic. Very picturesque.

Nice and modern pedestrian bridge. Possible to see the city and the surroundings. There are also benches to sit down on the bridge to enjoy the view.

We were in today for a walk around and stopped in to see the bike show. Band playing and there was a great atmosphere. Stopped in the cafe for a quick takeaway coffee and sausage roll. Nice and clean area with plenty going on

The Guildhall is a beautiful building with free entry. You can take a poke around and also there is a bit of a museum / educational area to learn more about the history of Derry. The people working the day we were in were friendly and informative. We really enjoyed stopping in here.

Incredible what human hands can do! Generations to build these masterpieces and they will stand Fav stained glass is pic 6 but far too much beauty for one post! 🌈 LED light on the organ is amazing.

Londonderry's incredible neo-Gothic Guildhall with its beautiful interior and stained-glass windows. The guildhall dates from 1887 but was nearly completed destroyed by fire in 1908. It was rebuilt in 1912 but hit by two terrorist bombs, during the troubles, in 1972. It was restored and reopened in 1977.

Beautiful venue and tourist spot - I delivered training in the Main Hall, which was breathtaking. Superb exhibition in building.

This place seemed interesting. It has quite a history from being rebuilt from the ground up since 1912 fire. It was renovated in 2013 with a sizable budget. I was thoroughly impressed with the wood carvings and stained glass that some looked to have been salvaged. I watched the Choir competition and the acoustics was really good. Phillipines had a strong show. Dublin and Cork had really talented set. Estonia in their formal dress was very impressive. The local choir set a high bar for the competitors though as they were the opening act. I didn't like the choke points at the top of the stairs, but packing so many people in a limited space has complications. The organizers did a really good job on utilizing the Derry community.

An absolutely stunning building and well worth a visit. The information about the 9 year war is very informative.

It's a good museum to learn about the history of Derry. There are some videos throughout that are interesting to watch. There was no wait to enter the museum and we didn't have to but tickets in advance. You can just show up and pay to enter.

A powerful and moving experience. Visiting the Bloody Sunday monument is both emotional and enlightening. The surrounding murals beautifully and boldly tell the story of a tragic chapter in history—each one full of meaning and message. Walking through the area, you don’t just see history, you feel it. You leave with a deeper understanding, carrying a piece of that history with you. A must-visit for anyone coming to Derry

Magnificent and extremely moving testament to the people of Derry. Very well curated, informative, logical and easy to follow. Plus some very poignant exhibits, the shoot to kill transcript, the white hanky, the bullet broken Sunday best clothes, straight from noon mass. Simply must see if you’re visiting any part of Ireland.

Excellent local museum in Derry. Great history on Derry through it's troubled past. Highly recommend a visit as a private tour guide who explores the whole island of Ireland.

Very insightful. Troublesbogsidewalkingtour is extremely recommend. Guided by eyewitness of the events around Bloody Sunday. Really strong community, authentic storytelling.

Very eye-opening & interesting history. Happy to hear another perspective on the story of Northern Ireland’s past conflict. Cool to see what the Bloody Sunday Trust is doing to spread awareness and fight for civil rights for all, everywhere

Excellent museum. Though small, my mom and I stayed hours reading and listening. Back in the states and currently drinking my morning coffee from the mug of their facade: the sound waves of "We Shall Overcome". An excellent reminder of our global shared struggles for liberation and justice. Thank you!

Worth the trip for the gardens alone. They’re so well put together. Beginning to plant our own vegetable garden and have taken some inspiration for their methods. The castle inside is fine, without being too spectacular. The staff were all very helpful and friendly; and the cafe was delicious and very fairly priced.

Glenveagh Castle is steepedd in history, the views are stunning even on a cold October day. The staff are friendly and helpful. We got the bus up to the castle. I had done the tour many years ago. This time it was self guided. I fell you get a better idea of the history with a tour guide. But it is well worth the visit, the views, the garden are just amazing. There is a coffe shop at the castle and a restaurant at the visitor centre. Would highly recommend Glenveagh Castle. N

We walked to the castle as the nature trail was closed. 4km there and back on good paths. Castle has lovely gardens ...can't comment on inside of castle as that was closed (which would have been useful to know before we set off....but we enjoyed the walk anyway) There is a shuttle bus available if needed

Nice walk but it's 4km each way so be ready to walk or take the bus to and from the visitor centre to the castle. Castle is nice but small area to view, won't take more than able 30 minutes. The gardens are nice and can add another 45 minutes. There is ice cream and a cafe at the castle and at the visitor center near the parking lot.

The castle is well maintained and it does take you back in time visiting the rooms. The garden is very tidy and lovely. We had a great walk around the place.

Definitely worth visiting. The castle and grounds have such interesting history. Having the shuttle bus available makes it accessible for all.

We had a lovely day at the castle and beautiful walk around the grounds and pathways. The setting is stunning and you’d swear you’re way up in the Scottish Highlands. The cafe was lovely and we enjoyed feeding the wild birds that flew right up to us. We parked in the car park and then took the short bus drive up to the castle, which was so convenient and easy. Took a tour around the castle itself and all the grand rooms. What a lovely experience and opportunity to step into the past. We will definitely be back!!
