An amazing and fun experience. - This place is fantastic. Touring the castle, the floors, the towers and seeing the castle rooms with time period artifacts was excellent. Well done Bunratty Staff. The village was top notch as well. I can see why schools come here. Endless learning opportunities. I highly recommend this experience if you are near Limerick/Shannon

Bunratty Castle - fun filled history - The castle is well restored with beautiful and interesting artifacts. As Americans, we found the castle to be fascinating since we have no real castles. Be sure to go up in the towers to see the views! The village gave us a good idea of what farm life was like in the 1800s.

Great place to learn more history! - We enjoyed the Bunratty Castle and folk park. The Castle had a tour that was going on and the guide gave some very interesting facts about living in medieval times. We also enjoyed the blacksmith at the folk park.

Educational and enlightening - We had a great time exploring the park. Many old buildings and houses were open and a few were staffed with costumed characters who gave details of their portrayals. We had to spend a while watching (and waking) the animals. My two adult children, husband and I learned a lot about the practices about 150 years ago. The Constable was amusing! We spent about 6 hours strolling the park and enjoy the cafe's offerings.

Nice little castle tour & nature walk - The castle was cool as it had some furnishings inside, and the view from the top was really pretty on a clear day. Narrow twisty stairs up to the top. The folk park sort of felt like a walk through a nature-y park. The little houses and shops were cute when you could go inside, but several buildings were “closed for maintenance”. There was a ceramic artist selling things which was a nice surprise from all the “made in China tourist” goods. Flowers were beautiful and they had a few animals for viewing. I would go again.
