School Tours

We have been providing School Tour trips around our farm for the last 15 years.  Our farm is both Educational and Fun for school groups.  We offer the children hands on work with feeding the animals as well as interesting little stories about old machines and contraptions around the museums.

We have indoor and outdoor playgrounds. In 2010 we added a great new outdoor play area, that comprises of a Climbing Frame, Adventure Trail and a Crazy Golf course, we also have a large maze, boat trips, pedal go-karts, a huge selection of animals and lots more, we also have a large coffee where the group can sit and eat their packed lunch or we can provide a hot lunch consisting of Chips, Sausages and a drink. We have a souvenir gift shop if required by the school.

Historical and Educational Aspects

Experience a 100 year old dwelling house on a working farm and see the farm machinery operated at this time. See the tradesmen tools, blacksmiths forge, carpenters workshop etc. Horse drawn machinery and the first means of public transport used in Ireland. See the Old Irish Crannog.

Involvement and Enjoyment

Children will help to feed a huge variety of animals i.e. Illama, Alpaca, Emu etc. Play with the rabbits and mice. Touch and maybe enough hold the snake. Children will have full access to the extensive play areas around the farm, from Pedal Go-Karting, to the Climbing frames, there’s so much to do…

Our Large Maze is a real challenge to all the kids and teachers can try to find their way around too.

The Prices per child are €8 and one adult with every ten children would be free. We offer complimentary tea and scones to every free adult in the group and your bus driver is also looked after in the same way.
For Pre Schools the prices are the same but there is one adult in every five children free. The food prices are €5 per child (optional).
