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.

This place is just fantastic! It's unique! Well done to them for such a good job in setting it up and maintaining it! We were enchanted! Not only is it worth a visit but it is a must visit for those traveling to Ireland. Folk Park has houses from different time periods. They are well maintained and the representation of how people lived is perfect. It also has a representation of period shops, etc. But it is not limited to this, at the same time throughout the park there are references to fairies, something for which Ireland has a tradition, and it is a fairy tale. Finally there is the castle which is also fantastic, contains the appropriate decoration and is perfect. I want to say about the ticket that it is really cheap for what the place offers as a whole. A huge bravo!

A fabulous place to visit. Brings me back immediately to my childhood in my granny's house. The smells, the decor, the atmosphere feels so real and is always very emotional
