General parklands lovely, bbq stands available for visitors. Fee for fancy playground well worth it as the kids are given a day pass. There... More

Made the journey here twice on our holidays, despite the fact we were staying in Sligo town. The park itself is gorgeous and the activity tour is great, but the real winner here is the super playground, which our two year old loved. In great condition with some more unusual rides. Well worth a visit. Great cake in the cafe... More

We did the Lough Key experience. For 7.50 euros you take the house tour, tower and tree canopy walk. It was great fun and we stayed at the park longer than 2 hours. We also had extra bread and stayed to feed the ducks

We travelled to Boda Borg on Sunday 15th April 2012. This is a fantastic place. Arrived at 11am and left exhausted at 5.45pm. The Boda Borg experience is a really fantastic day out for all the family - Ireland definately needs more attractions like this. We will definately return on our next visit to the area

This is a must for anyone visiting the area. I have been several times, most recently at the end of March. We took a couple of kayaks out on the lake and kayaked out to the island in the middle. Absolute bliss!!.. The park is so pretty with extensive walking area. Or it's just as enjoyable setting up a picnic... More

Stopped in here today to see if had changed since our last visit about ten years ago. We enjoyed an excellent lunch in the lakeside restaurant with lovely views over Lough Key. The recent introduction of adventure play area and tree top walks caught the attention of our kids. An excellent short stop on our journey with definite plans to... More
