Amazing day out - Aim to spend at least 3-4 hours here. Great guided tours of the castle with some exhilarating walks to the topviewing different rooms up there. Some great exhibitions to see in the I dividual that he'd houses all depicting life from ages past.A very good cafe with good choice of wood. Walks through countryside with great views and then on to the folk village which was tremendous

Fun for all! - Visited the castle and folk park before the medieval banquet. It was enjoyable, although very touristy. It is a huge property with lots to see. Castle was beautiful and interesting. Dungeon was neat. Small folk town had shops and a pub. The manor was cute and the walled garden was the highlight. Had fun interacting with the Bobby as I was put into handcuffs and then give a ticket for drinking. Overall, a fun experience we would recommend to all!

Authentic historical insight - The medieval son put this park on the list of our Ireland road tour and we were not disappointed: The narrow corridors of the castle and the faithful furnishings of the rooms including nice staff were very interesting. Although the buildings are brought together from different parts of the country and come from different eras, the whole looks like a "grown" village. The restaurants and souvenir shops also fit in well and do not seem intrusive to buying junk.

Worth the visit - Loved the immersive experience here! Though I do think the Irish wolfhounds were my adorable (if smelly) favorites and the goat kids out front were quite precious. Next time would love to do the banquet and explore more!

Be Careful! - Be careful! I booked the medieval dinner with my family for June 29th, and four days before, the company sent me an email canceling the dinner time, offering an earlier option. Since I was passing through the city, we couldn't make it at the suggested time, so I requested a refund from the company. They always responded promptly, but to this day (three weeks later), I still haven't received my money back. They always have an excuse for not refunding me. I'm disappointed with the company. I don't think they're serious.
