Explore a beautifully preserved 17th-century merchant's townhouse with period rooms, costumes, and interactive exhibits. The reconstructed garden features herbs, fruit trees, and a peaceful courtyard - perfect for a picnic break. For kids: Costume dressing, treasure trails (check at reception), and a small gift shop. The garden has space to run around, but no playground. Ages: Ideal for 6-14 years, though younger children may enjoy the garden. Facilities: Tea room with child-friendly menu, baby-changing, and accessible toilets. Pushchair-friendly on ground floor only. Tips: Combine with a visit to Kilkenny Castle nearby. Allow 1-2 hours. On rainy days, focus on the house and tea room.
