Bunratty Castle & Folk Park
Offering visitors a chance to attend a genuine medieval banquet, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park hosts four-course dinners accompanied by traditional harp, pipe, and fiddle music. Located on the site of an old Viking settlement, the hulking castle houses a vast collection of medieval furniture and art, which you can explore on your own or as part of a guided tour. The adjoining folk park boasts over 30 reconstructed buildings, including a forge, pub, post office, and blacksmith's shop. As you stroll through this replica of a 19th century Irish village, look for costumed actors demonstrating traditional jobs and crafts. Book your banquet reservations well in advance, and leapfrog the lines by buying your park tickets online.

We loved our time here. The history in the houses and the castle are amazing. We spent hours here and even though it was a very wet day we loved the experience. The staff were very nice and helpful. The place is very big with lots to see. The price for admission was well worth it as you can easily spend the whole day exploring the park and castle. Brilliant we loved it.

Great place to visit for all ages. Had food which was nice and not expensive. There is a big playground for the little ones, lots of bathrooms spread around. A few little Shops, and you can go into most of the houses. Lovely family day out. Staff are very friendly too.

Bunratty castle is gorgeous! Walking through the street lamp path till you reach the castle is beautiful. Then once you walk into the castle you're transported back in time. We enjoyed mead, music, and a four course meal. It was so fun to listen to the harp and singers. I loved the comedy added into the performance from the butler. Overall it was a great experience! I will say the food could be better, but it wasn't horrible.

Awesome experience! So well worth it! The castle is very well organized with staff throughout to help with questions and history tales. Neat and tidy, with well preserved antiques on display (hard to believe that some are 500-600 yrs old!!) The folk village is beautiful - well thought and planned out, the musicians playing all over make it such an authentic experience! We spend hours walking the trails - the fairies, the gardens, the mills... Highly recommend!

Loved going to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park! Had things to do for all ages and interests. The trail tour was super cute with the addition of the fairy walk. Would definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for something to do for a few hours on your trip to Ireland.
