Visitor Reviews
i visited this pet farm with my two daughters and my son who is still a toddler, along with extended family in august as a family reunion. I must say this was one of the best days out we have ever had in Ireland!
the staff were extremely friendly and one even let the kids hold both a puppy and a rabbit. there was both an indoor and outdoor playground which was great for when it began to rain! truthfully an excellent pet farm.
