Castle Adventure Open Farm

Reviewed By 787gerryw - Manchester, United Kingdom

Visited here with family and grandchildren and had a fantastic day out.Entrance Price was very reasonable at €7.50 and you could stay all day.Great mix of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages so if it happened to rain there would still be lots to do.Staff were all great,friendly and helpful.We took a picnic which a lot of families seemed to do,but the cafe food looked very good and was reasonable priced.Would totally recommend for any children from 2 to 12 .
