Wexford Wildfowl Reserve is certainly worth more than one visit in the course of the year. During winter it is a haven for overwintering Greenland White-fronted Geese, with the chance of some rareities joining in. During spring and autumn, large numbers of birds on migration stop to feed in these rich areas. Being right on the coast any number of... More

Birds are "wild" so you can turn up and see everything, or you can turn up and see very little. Unfortunately on this occasion, there were only ducks and geese to view. The information centre is very good and informative. Worth a visit, but keep your fingers crossed! More

Loved the visit to this very well appointed attraction in spite of the awful weather. Would it be possible to provide a tea/coffee vending machine at this location in the absence of any form of dining facilities? Perhaps a small entry fee could help fund this facility. More

The reserve is a super place to visit with children. They love feeding the ducks and there is plenty to occupy them in the visitors centre too. We climbed the stairs up to the observation tower where there is a telescope available to view birds further out on the slobs. As we live locally we visit quite often (it's free!)... More

We've visited Wexford Wildfowl Reserve over the May bank holiday weekend when the weather wasn't the best and most of the birds were hiding somewhere from the cold and wind and yet we really enjoyed it. Lovely little place, would recommend it for families with kids or just for anybody interested in nature or walks outside of the city. Very... More
