Craggaunowen Bronze Age Project

Step back in time at Craggaunowen, an open-air museum that brings Bronze Age Ireland to life. Families can explore reconstructed ancient dwellings, including a crannóg (lake dwelling) and a ringfort, plus a working watermill and cooking area. Highlights include hands-on demonstrations like fire-starting and bread-making, and the chance to see rare breeds of animals. Ideal for children aged 5-12, but toddlers will enjoy the sights and sounds, while older kids and teens can engage with the archaeological details. Interactive exhibits: Try your hand at ancient crafts and daily tasks. Facilities: Car park, picnic area, and a small cafe. Toilets with baby-changing available. Practical tips: Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather, as most of the site is outdoors. Allow 2-3 hours for a visit.
