A social-enterprise day out on a mineral island in the Bog of Allen, where 10,000 years of Irish history meets family fun across 60 acres of peatland, woodland, and play.
Ireland's first biodiversity boardwalk — 2 km of recycled-plastic walkway winding through glassy lakes, birch, heathers, and bog cotton. The indoor exhibition covers peatland formation, bog bodies, bog butter, and the wildlife now reclaiming the cutaway bog. Watch for hares, curlew, and skylarks from the observation windows.
Walk through a Neolithic farmstead, the Early Christian Centre telling the story of St Erc's monastery, the 1798 Rebellion exhibition on Captain John Doorly, a Famine mudwall cottage, a blacksmith's forge, and a hedge school — Irish history in one compact trail.
An extensive outdoor playground plus an 18-hole crazy-golf course with a heritage twist — castle turrets overlook the course with the Bog of Allen beyond. Golfing skills are optional; laughs are guaranteed.
Meet Dolly the Sheep, Dali the Alpaca, Heather the Kerry Bog Pony, pygmy goats, pot-bellied pigs, rabbits, and chickens. The farm grows every year with new furry arrivals.
A 10-minute journey through ancient woodland and into the peatland and lake areas. Runs every half hour from 12 pm (last trip 4:20 pm weekdays, 4:40 pm weekends). Wheelchair-friendly and fun for all ages.
A state-of-the-art indoor play area where kids can climb, slide, and explore regardless of the weather. Perfect for burning off energy when the Irish rain arrives.
Follow the magical nature trail to the Fairy Village — a hit with young imaginations. Pick up a treasure-hunt form at the admission kiosk, solve the clues around the park, and enter the monthly prize draw.
