About
A family-run pet farm ten minutes from Athlone where children feed emus and pet lambs, then burn off steam on playgrounds and a fairy trail.
Things to Do
Playgrounds and zipline
Outdoor play includes a zipline, double obstacle course, maze, slides, swings and a toddler area, plus a football area and the Sand Barn sand pit.
Fairy trail and nature walk
A short walk under half a mile follows an old mass path past fairy doors, toadstools and a hobbit village with woven willow huts, a swing and a tightrope. Oak, ash, birch and hazel line the way.
The 1850s cottage
A preserved traditional Irish cottage with handmade furniture, 19th-century utensils and an open hearth, giving a glimpse of rural life in the past.
Indoor play and wet-day cover
An indoor soft play area suits smaller children, and several play and picnic spots are under cover so rain need not end the day.
