Visitor Experiences

 Such an amazing place you get lost in time here and Pat is such a great guide you could listen to him for hours.

   A great attraction…very informative and gives you a unique view into what life in Ireland was like from the potato famine up until the 1980s.

  One of the best tours I’ve been on. The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Learning about the Irish way of our past generations was wonderful.
