Looking for somewhere to bring the kids for a day out ... why not take them to see all the friendly animals at Glendeer Pet Farm, (5 miles west of Athlone, exit 13 off M6, follow signs for Drum).

There are new arrivals all the time.

You don't even have to wait for a fine day to visit, because let's face it you might be waiting; Glendeer is suitable for any weather as there are indoor & outdoor picnic & play areas incl. the suspended indoor play area and the NEW soft play toddler's area.

There is a large section of the animals are also undercover and while the children are cuddling the puppies the adults can relax in our coffee shop with fresh coffee/tea & homemade treats.

Be amazed at how friendly all of the animals are as the wander up around you looking for food. Each child will get a bag of food to feed the animals as you make your way around the six acre farm.

Why not bring a picnic along to enjoy, but beware of the greedy donkey who can spot a picnic bag a mile away & will try to join you, if they don't the hens will!

There is also a lovely secluded 6 acre nature trail adjacent to the old farm yard & cottage which is a nice relaxing walk & may transport the older generation back in time.
