We absolutely loved it 🥰
Visited just before Halloween, decorations were super!
Our little girl absolutely loved every second spent there. Feeding and petting animals, playgrounds outside ( they are really cool and soo not seen before)... and she was really impressed with a soft area, its just brilliant. Huge restaurant, coffee and gift shop - very reasonable prices and we had no complaints about food, simple, but tasty 👍🏽🙂
Highly recommend to visit if yea around 👍🏽🥰

went here with our five year old great value for money. lots of free parking was easy to find, gentlemen on the door very friendly and you got your bag of food for feeding animals, nice jaunt round looking at all the pets no time restriction on how long with any animal lovely outdoor play area plenty of places to eat picnic with signs up to encourage bringing your own food, we ate in the cafe only had sarnies but they were good and good price, child played in indoor area beside cafe while we waited for food its well watched no messing allowed. we then spent and hour and a half in the inflatable area with only time to pop in and out for water breaks again plenty of staff keeping an eye on everything and one at the top of the ginat slide to avoid messing. well set out plenty of place for parents to sit play areas well supervised lots of toilets nothing was over priced really good place to go. if i had to find a fault it would be the rabbit area, your allowed into pet the rabbits signs up not to feed them not to lift them i felt there should be a staff member here signs are good for people that wish to obey them but there are always idiots and when it comes to animals ... not wishing to finish on a bad point its a place you should go if your in Galway or even near its worth the drive

Thank you for your lovely detailed review , really appreciate it as it makes our day at this very difficult time. We are very happy with our attraction and we try to maintain and update as best we can. We are fortunate to have a very good team of staff who are good with children and are happy doing the work. We take your point about the rabbit area, a staff member visits that area from time to time throughout the day, but we normally let families do their own thing, going forward we will review it again. Again many thanks for taking the time to review your outing and your five star rating.

Turoe Pet Farm is a wonderful place. I was very impressed by the high standard of cleanliness. The staff were extremely helpful and so kind to the children (aged 7, 5 & 3). We felt very safe as there are ample opportunities to use hand sanitizer and I spotted staff cleaning and sanitizing equipment in the playground. There is lots of space and a wonderful variety of activities from outdoor activities feeding the animals and playing in the playground to the indoor activities jumping & climbing in Inflatable City, climbing and crawling around in Jungle Town!
Turoe Pet Farm is very suitable for small toddlers and babies as there are specified play areas for this age group. We will visit again, keep up the great work 👍🏻

Many thanks for your very kind review , really appreciate it. We have implemented covid. 19 guidelines and are happy that you appreciate it, all one can do is their best. We are fortunate to have lots of space and all the different area's that children can play in as they all like different things. The indoor play area's are very important in Ireland as we get as much wet days as fine. Our customers are very important to us and we appreciate all reviews. Again thanks for taking the time to review your experience.

Nice spot but very costly at 9 euro for adults even though its a kids day out, 13 for children and no discount if you have bigger groups.
You can only pay on line and they charge you a fee of 1.50 for doing so.
Way too expensive.

Hi Joey Many thanks for your review Joey and delighted that you taught it was a "nice spot". I just want to address some of the information that you outlined because some of it is factually incorrect. A childs rate is in fact €13.50. Two adults and two children cost €45 but if you have a 3rd child 2 adults and 3 children is €55 and so on so their is a discount for the more children that is with a family. In relation to booking fees. When the restrictions were been lifted from covid part of the government guidelines for re-opening was to introduce an on-line booking system. As part of an on line booking system you need a 3rd party system that handles the financial transactions. The company we decided to use was an Irish owned company called stripe. The fee that is attached to the booking goes directly to stripe Turoe Farm does not benefit in any way from this handling fee. Its not €1.50 per transaction as you outlined it is a percentage on the amount spent so 2 adults and 1 child costs €36 for entry into Turoe Farm and the handling fee is €1.29 that goes to stripe for their services. Your opinion of it been too expensive is your entitlement but there is other people out there that don't share that same opinion as you. We have customers that think its excellent value. We also have customers that noted to us that we are one of the few places that has maintained its rates from 2021 because almost everything as you are well aware has increased in price. Their is also people out there that have the opinion its a day out for everyone and not just children. We have groups of adults that come out from residential homes during the summer that like to get out and see all the animals and enjoy what the park has to offer. We also have a huge amount of young couples that repeatedly come here to enjoy the experience. Also most moms, dads, aunts, uncles, granny and grandads love to interact with the children that would be with their family in the outdoor playgrounds and astro turf pitch or maybe go around and and feed the animals with the children. So you see their is a whole other cohort of people that wouldn't share the same opinion as yourself. I am delighted that you left a review Joey because its only with feedback from customers that helps us improve and to try and fine tune our product.

We enjoyed the outdoor playgrounds. The indoor playzones were very hectic and my younger child was scared. I was disappointed to see the food for the animals coming in a plastic bag, I would like to see paper bags used and also there was no recycling bins available.

Just back from a nice day out in Turoe pet farm. We had to book in advance which I liked and definitely makes it easier for contact tracing. It's a lovely experience, very clean and staff very nice. Lots of hand sanitising stations which are encouraging. The animals are great and play ground so fab. My downside was the indoor bouncy castle and jungle area. Myself and my husband were the only ones wearing masks and the place was PACKED. People sitting and standing very close to each other and social distancing very poor in the soft play area. The staff all wore masks so I felt sorry for them that customers didn't bother. I can only assume on August 10th Masks will be mandatory inside? I felt really ill at ease with the lack of social distancing. I would like to go back but wouldnt go into the inside area. I'm not faulting the pet farm for this they cant be responsible for reckless and inconsiderate customers. I would just urge that maks are mandatory indoors. It should be "no maks no entry". Best of luck!

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience when you visited our attraction, delighted that you had experienced some of the positives about the attraction. We have implemented gov. guidelines as far as possible, however we are disappointed with the social distancing in the indoor play area's, but after speaking to staff it was for a short time as it was very warm outdoors that day some of the adults came indoors due to the very warm weather outdoors as I can assure you that is not the normal. We have lots of signage and it is announced over the public address system every half hour asking our customers to adhere to social distancing, washing hands etc. We always welcome feedback as it helps to address issues if needed to be addressed. . Again we appreciate you taking the time to review your visit as we welcome all reviews.and look forward to welcoming you back again.

My wife and I stopped here on our honeymoon. If you want to make your wife happy, take her to the Turoe Pet Farm! I was convinced to stop for the Turoe Stone, which is sadly unavailable due to construction, but I really enjoyed the pet farm too. The staff was very nice, and the humans were great too! We especially loved the rabbits and the baby sheep and goats. Lots of children running around and loving it.

I visited Turoe with my 7 year old daughter today and met friends there. I travelled there from Tipperary. First of all it is a fabulous place to visit. However it is expensive and I can’t understand why adults have to pay in. I have been to other activity centres and this is not the case or else it is a nominal fee. The part though that annoyed me was the duration. You are only allowed stay for 3 hours. This duration should be made explicit on the centre’s website. I was under the impression entry was for the day. It was only when my daughter was stopped going on the jungle activity that I was informed duration was only 3 hours.

Visited here today as family of 2 adults and 2 children. They cater really well for all ages with pet farm with really friendly animals. Jungle gym and inflatable city which are so clean and well kept. They have 3 outdoor playgrounds one is covered and they all provide great entertainment for kids. Such a well kept farm, we easily could have spent the whole day here. Entry free was so reasonable for what was on offer for kids and the cleanliness of the whole farm was unbelievable. My kids did not want to leave. We will definitely return if in area again.
