Traditional Irish Night-Cornbarn at Bunratty Folk Park in Bunratty

I think it’s one of the best castles I’ve visited so far, and the village is charming as well. Whenever friends come to visit from abroad, I always take them here. Highly recommended!

The village behind the castle is very beautiful, offering a full immersion into the life of the inhabitants of that era. The castle itself is very interesting. The well-maintained outdoor spaces are child-friendly, with games and animals to see, including deer.

An amazing place, the fortress itself is a bit boring on the inside, you go up to the top and that's it, very impressive on the outside! The reconstructed village around it is simply a crazy experience, we and the children had a great time, it was raining heavily and we still chose to continue walking around and going from house to house, some of them are really active, a blacksmith, a shop, a hotel and others. The children loved the experience and so did we. A very beautiful place

I only live a few miles from Bunratty, but love going here. There is a bounty of things to see and do here. Cafes are all really good. Staff are really friendly.

Nice day out. Good castle, nice to explore. Friendly staff in the castle and surrounding areas. Nice playground for the kids on the grounds.

This was a fun place to spend an afternoon. The castle is small but very interesting. It does have a lot of steps inside...just FYI. The little village surrounding the castle is very cute with little shops, a pub, restaurant, tea room, sweet shop...etc.

The castle is beautiful, and the reconstructed village is very cute. A great place for families.

much bigger than I expected and very well maintained/organised. they’ve also got a lot of animals that will come up to you and love to be pet. cafe at the entrance is good and well priced.

A truly beautiful and well-maintained castle. When you tour the interior, you feel like you're back in the Middle Ages. Outside the castle, various medieval settings have been recreated, with hands-on demonstrations (e.g., the blacksmith). Medieval banquets are also available, but we didn't try them. The castle closes early for banquets (around 4:30 PM), while the rest of the castle stays open until 6:30 PM.

Had a lovely relaxing afternoon here in the catering area recently. It's perfect for a group of people as there are all kinds of food & drink options available on site, with covered seating. Toilets also on site. There is also a carvery option, garden shop, Blarney Woollen Mills etc.
