This was WAY over-rated. It is the Disney-fied version of Irish history with horrible food. We should have just stayed in Durty Nelly's where the food, drinks and music were great. It was like being trapped in a time warp...but not in a good way. We literally ran for the door. It would have been two stars but all the... More

Lovely setting for an afternoon out for adults and children alike. Very interesting insight into ireland of yesteryear. Lovely coffeeshop and bar onsite.

My husband and I went to the Medieval Banquet Dinner at Bunratty Castle as it was part of a package we had purchased. We did not experience the folk park nor the village.

What I most enjoyed was seeing the progression of life through the years. They did a very good job portraying the different time periods, and the folks there are very patient and knowledgeable. Bunratty Castle was also really something to see; I thoroughly enjoyed it from top to bottom!

If you are near Bunratty Co. Ireland stop by the Bunratty Castle and folk park. The folk park is quaint and the castle is amazing. There are a million stairs but once you reach the top of the castle the view is breathtaking. The little town (folk park) is nice as are the people working in the Bunratty castle town.... More
