Even though it was autumn this garden was a wonderful place to visit. Lots of different areas and and themed gardens to keep you in wounder for hours. A great place to... More

We're very sorry that you found your visit to Brigit's Garden expensive and boring. Most of our guests find that it's a great place to go let the kids to run around while parents can take their time strolling through the gardens or forest paths. There is also a playground, pond, and nature trail quiz to keep children occupied. We... More

Having booked a family special deal on Living Social for €10 this was a saving of €9 on a family ticket. The full price would still be excellent value. The Sunday we planned to visit on turned out to be Heritage Week and so a quick phonecall led me to understand it would pose no problem to use our voucher... More

We went with three generations and spent a lovely afternoon lasting over 4 hours there. It was well laid out, loads to see, places to stop and rest, wildlife to watch, treats to eat and good facilities. Couldn't ask for more. We'll definitely be back again but next time I will be bringing even more family members. More

Let me start by saying that my hyper kids are not easily entertained (ages 6, 4, 2) but they all loved Brigit's Garden. The nice lady at reception provided the 4 and 6 year old with a wonderfully designed Nature Trail Quiz which led them all around the Garden (in an ordered fashion) which ensured that Mum and Dad had...

It's hard to find the words to describe this peaceful experience of the wonderful gardens and the sun of the day. We ended... More

After all the pubs, pubs and more pubs Ireland has to offer, it was a treat to do something different on a rare sunny afternoon and visit Brigit's Garden. Spring flowers peeping through, Celtic artwork to catch the eye, and inspired landscaping throughout, it was a wonderful way to spend 4 hours and stimulate even the most jaded '9-5 +... More

When you're near Galwy, or from there on the way to clifdon, don't miss that beautifull garden. It's created and cultivated with a lot of love in every single tree and stone. For kids it's wonderfull, they'll have a lot of fun and while playing, they can learn something of the old year-cycle traditions and celebrations - of course not... More

Lovely garden (especially like the giant sundial), with pretty & well-organized paths & some interactive activities for kids. The 9 year old with me was thrilled to see newts in the pond. More
