    This place is really more of a play centre, not really a pet farm. Also very overcrowded, would not recommend. Rant over

    Have to agree with you on this one. I went recently and it was massively overcrowded, birthday parties in every nook & cranny, along with bouncy castles, zip line, go karting etc. & very little supervision. Good for older kids but wouldn’t recommend if you’re planning to bring younger kids to see animals. Incomparable to Newgrange, which is an actual farm/pet farm.

    I love it. I've been several times and feel they have something for everyone.

    Interesting comments. I have a 10 year and 3 year old twins and its one of our favourite places to go. Ive been going to Clonfert for the past 7 or 8 years and have seen lots of changes in that time. The 10 year old loves the go-karts.

    They have invested a lot of money back into the place in the last year or 2 with extra activities, resurfacing works and animals.

    One of the things we did notice on our last visit was the cafe/kitchen did struggle to keep up with demand. Its a pity that the kitchen capacity wasnt expanded to cope with extra footfall. Some of the staff seemed young and in-experienced too.

    We had the same observation from emerald park regarding staffing, but we all need a job start somewhere.

    It's a place for kids, and all kids seem to love it. My kids certainly do anyways.

    We have not been in a while but we had birthday parties there and mu kids loved it. We have seen it grow so much too. I found it an easy place to bring all my kids and wear them out while they had fun
