We booked the falconry experience through the K Club and Brian brought his majestic birds to meet us in the beautiful grounds of the hotel. We knew this was going to something special when Brian immediately produced two Golden eagles from his van and he told us the story of how he was the first person to successfully breed a Golden Eagle in Ireland... you could sense straight away how much he cared for his birds (like a doting father) and when they opened their enormous wings you realised the strength and power these glorious birds possess. Brian then produced an array of wonderful birds from little owls to Harris hawks and falcons letting us hold each one in turn whilst he told us of their history and gave us a glimpse into their individual characters whilst explaining how they hunt their prey in the wild. We only booked a 90 minute session, but after two hours Brian was still producing birds for us and then he took us on a hawk walk through the gardens accompanied by two hawks flying free but returning at regular intervals to land on our arms and feed. Our session was rounded off after 3 hours with Brian creating a wonderful slow motion video of the little owl flying through our arms towards the camera - a great memory to hold on to from such a wonderful experience. Brian is a warm and friendly man with a little cheeky glint in his eye who loves his birds and loves talking to his customers about how much he loves them. We have truly enjoyed our trip to Ireland but the highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our three hour session with Brian and his family of birds... I cannot recommend this experience highly enough as it surpassed all of our expectations... if you love birds of prey then I throughly recommend you indulge yourself and book the falconry experience with Brian - he is guaranteed to keep you entertained and enthralled. Thank you Brian, you gave us such an enjoyable time and we really loved your company! ... we will definitely see you again the next time we visit Ireland! T & D

The Irish Military War Museum and family park,offers a fascinating insight into Irish participants' involvement in both World War One and World War Two, as well as other military conflicts in world history. The Irish Military War Museum, covering 5,000 square feet of floor space, will represent a distinctly non-political but 'must see' educational and historical resource for people of all ages and from right across the island of Ireland and beyond.

Wow!!Went here today and what an amazing experience. The museum is brilliant and a huge collection of memorabilia. Fergus who works there is very knowledgeable and spent alot of time with us showing us everything and telling us stories and facts. My son said this is the best museum he has been in,way better than the one in Dublin city and Bovington in the UK. He will be returning at some stage with his friends. Worth every cent. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Our group (5 adults and 7 children ages 3-14)had the pleasure of visiting Zone last week. Needless to say they catered for every age group in one site. We enjoyed, Go Karting, Bowling and soft play as well as the delicious but nessasary fresh coffee for the adults! This was my first time to visit a facility like this since the lockdown and i was very impressed and reassured of the new protocols and safety measures the staff delivered. its clear by all the new equipment, new suits, helmets and disposable balaclava that they have spared no expense in upgrading the facility to take account of the new covid measures. What made this place different to anywhere else I've visited since Covid was the genuineness of the personal service we received from the staff and particularly the owner (sorry i can't recall her name). Its clear from the face-lift and freshness of the facility that they not only invested hard work and energy into reopening. While they cannot facilitate the numbers and bookings they once enjoyed due to the restrictions on numbers, i truly hope they day will again some day. Each person was required to sanitise and complete form on entry. There were sanitisation points everywhere i looks and a one way system and the bowling balls were all sanitised in front of us before we began the game. While there was extra paperwork to complete it didn't take away from the experience and we felt reassured and safe. Our visit reminded me why its so important to support small businesses and their hard work. We had a ball, everyone had smiling faces as we left which can be difficult to satisfy when you have kids in our age range. They are already talking about when we are going back. We dont live nearby and were on Staycation in the Ancient East but will definitely drive 1hr to enjoy the fun again. #makememories thanks to Zone. Julie Ann

Having been a few years before we booked our holiday to coincide with the races again . It took some time to get there but we had no problem parking and wandered up to the course . Nothing had changed ! Still the usual facilities and the sand dunes making a marvellous natural grandstand to watch the racing . I particularly enjoyed the fact I could watch the horses being taken into the sea and watch their antics . I only hope that I might get to go back again some day .

fab place to visit, lots and lots to do for all ages, lots of free activities for small children, can get very busy so usual queuing unavoidable, disappointed in actual factory tour though (self guided), picnic areas available, would love to return again.
