We really enjoyed our guided tour through the park. The guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He knew exactly how to engage both the kids in the group and give more detailed information to the adults. He gave everyone enough time to have a good look at the different sites. We consider him to be an 'excellent' guide!

Great overview of Irish history, fun for all ages, educational, informative, and experiential. You can even stay overnight! Knowledgeable tour guides dressed as Vikings and monks, and friendly, hospitable staff welcomed us and shared with enthusiasm. We learned so much, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Well worth several hours or even an overnight stay if you have the time. Tasty fare... More

We visited here on a whim while on a weekend driving through Wexford and had a fantastic time wandering between the many exhibits. The setting is beautiful and the reconstructions are sensitively done and very naturalistic. It's all very informative and arguably is an important educational resource for the country, particularly as it focuses on a time-period that otherwise gets... More

This centre tells you all about Irish history and has lots and lots of reconstructions of primitive dwellings, boats and even a small castle. It's rather like a smaller version of the Welsh equivalent in St. Fagans, Cardiff. It is built alongside a lake and small hillside so be prepared for some uphill walking. Some structures are still being built... More

Lots to keep children interested but so much for the more mature person to get their teeth into as well. If you take your time; allow half a day and enjoy a lovely lunch and you can learn so much about Irish history and folk law. The staff are so helpful and those around the park eager to share their...

Well worth doing a tour. We had the very knowledgeable Paul as our tour guide dressed appropriately as a viking. Paul was very patient with the kids and all their questions. Having been to a fair few Irish historical sites ie. the hill of Tara, Newgrange etc the video and tour consolidated for me the history and time periods in... More

We stayed in the Ringfort at the Irish National Heritage Park, on April 2013 with a group of students. It such a great overnight visit for us, especially with our request for so many extra sleeping bags on such short notice. We definitely put them to good use, and appreciated them all! And the students slept better than they even... More

I would highly recommend this for anyone in the 7 to 14 age category. It was most enjoyable. The person demonstrating how to use the bow and arrow was patient and helpful. For €5 for 30 minutes it would be hard to beat for any chap.
