Bunratty Castle and Folk Park

Highlights for families:
Explore the fully furnished medieval castle with spiral staircases, great hall, and dungeon.
Walk through the 26-acre folk park with over 30 buildings (farmhouses, school, pub, etc.) from 19th-century Ireland.
See traditional Irish farm animals (sheep, goats, pigs, horses) and seasonal demonstrations like bread making, weaving, and candle dipping.
Kids can dress up in medieval costumes, feed the ducks, and enjoy the playground.

Practical tips: Allow at least 3-4 hours. The folk park is mostly outdoors, so dress for weather. Stroller-friendly paths. Baby changing facilities available. Medieval banquets (extra cost) are popular but have age limits.
