Everything was fun and loved the folk park with all the old shops and buldings. The castle was really somthing and we did go to the banquet which was very nice. All thepersonnel wer very accomodating and fun to be around.

This will be the third time I have been here. I live in Ireland and if I have guests over and in the west, I would take them here. Friends over from NZ loved it, the castle is excellent and even kids who are brainwashed by video games enjoyed the rooms and narrow stairwells going to the roof. The folk... More

I can't believe I went up the spiral staircase and out around the top of the castle. It was exhilarating. Extremely windy on the top but what a view! The grounds are beautiful. The guide was informative and it was very entertaining.

Bunratty castle and folk park and castle was a wonderful day out. We were there on Easter Saturday, the weather was perfect which is obviously important but anybody who hasn't been here shoult certainly pay a visit.

I love visiting historical places like these whenever I'm on vacation. You get to learn a lot about the country's culture. The awesome thing about Bunratty is you get to touch/sit on some of the furniture. I was actually surprised we were able to do this since the place is so old. When you're in the castle itself, it feels... More

A good place for a taste of old Ireland. The Folk Park comprises a group of cottages representing the living quarters of people ranging from the poorest laborers to the country squire, and a town scene with various mercantile and professional (doctor's surgery, schoolhouse) buildings. The castle is a fine example of its kind. Be prepared for a lot of... More

This park was an unexpected treat that we "happened upon" while traveling to the Cliffs of Moher. Done in true period, Bunratty is a reconstruction of Ireland in the 19th Century complete with rural farmhouses and village shops. The village streets are lined with the following buildings: a Doctor's Office, Artisan's House, Pawnbroker (Yes! They existed!), Pub, Drapery, Printer, Grocery,... More

We visited Bunratty Castle in April 2013. Unlike most of the other castles we saw, this one is fully restored and gives you a good sense of what life may have been like back in the day. The entire complex is clearly well taken care of. You get to see everything from the great hall to the dungeon! It took... More

Well done & nicely laid out! Would like to see a few stewards around the mock up village to answer any questions one might have. It would add to the experience! Showery day so it suited as we could nip in & out of the houses from the rain! Thought full tour bit pricey!
