Had a Blast - I brought three girlfriends to paint Christmas ornaments with me and we had a blast! We booked online so we had fresh popcorn! All of us will be back, either with friends, families, or visitors. This is truly an enjoyable experience for any age, and one you can do side by side. Great value also. ❤️

Toy Soldier Factory Fun - The Toy Soldier Factory paint your own miniature was a super fun experience. My husband and I both enjoyed choosing a figure, watching it be made and then painting it. We booked online and the price was very reasonable (less expensive if booked during non-peak hours). We took our time painting as we were the only ones there during the off season on a rainy day and it was very relaxing. The staff was great and offered us free popcorn since we booked online. I would recommend for young and old alike! #finnandpippin (travel companions)

Fantastic family fun in Macroom - Fantastic time! It was neat to see the process for making the figures and my wife and son really enjoyed painting theirs. Not part of the “paint your own” the LOTR scenes available in the shop are incredible!

10/10 would visit again - Had an amazing experience coming here, the staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating and are obviously very passionate about the process and are happy to talk about it. Popcorn was offered part way through and we were walked through the whole process, the staff are very patient and excellent with kids. Our host was wonderful and very entertaining, overall couldn't ask for a better trip.

Great family experience - We stumbled across this place on a Google search on things to do. We participated as a family of 2 adults and 2 children and it was a fun family activity. We each got to pick a door and miniature figure to paint. The children were given two big bowls of popcorn while painting. It's a great experience and well worth a visit

Fun time for families with older kids - Lots of fun seeing how the figurines were made and the quiet painting time was a nice change for me after lots of running around sightseeing.

Great time painting miniatures - It was a lovely day that we spend at the toy soldier factory. Me and my wife were on honeymoon in Ireland when we heard about this lovely place. We both took a painting workshop and painted up some miniatures (were bat for me, Leprechaun for her). We loved it! It is a great afternoon spend for young and old.
