Castle Adventure open Farm
4.6 (416)
About
A family-run open farm tucked into the old farmyard of 17th-century Wardtown Castle, three miles from Ballyshannon on the Rossnowlagh road. Rain or shine, there are barns of animals, soft play, and a big outdoor adventure playground.
Things to Do
See the castle ruins
The farm is built in the original yard of Wardtown Castle (17th century). The ruins are still impressive but entry is not permitted for safety.
Outdoor adventure and rides
The large outdoor adventure playground sits on all-weather surfaces. You can also take a trip on the barrel train and drive a real JCB digger for €3 extra.
Indoor play and sandpit
A huge indoor activity centre and sandpit plus soft-play areas mean younger children stay busy even on wet days.
Café, shop and picnics
An on-site café and shop, picnic areas, a birthday-party room and a lost-child meeting point complete the visit.
