Kells Sheep Centre

Reviewed By CarolinaNurse323 - Kernersville, United States

My husband and I were able to see this wonderful demonstration of sheep herding while travelling with our tour group with Gate 1 Travel as we travelled throughout Ireland. Today, as part of our "Ring of Kerry" day long adventure, we stopped to see Brendan Ferris and his two trained dogs with a herding demonstration. This was very exciting to see Brendan command his dogs and their reactions.

Blueberry Hill Farm

Reviewed By Hare_Valley

A wonderful three hours awaits you at Blueberry Hill Farm! Yvonne and Sigi are warm, kind and gracious hosts, memorising the children's names from the start and ensuring they're included and enjoying all the fabulous activities they have lined up. Every child is treated as an individual and their needs skilfully and tactfully looked after. Our children, aged 5 and 13, loved it - and we did too! There was lots of hands on with the patient and friendly animals (the rabbits were almost too cute, especially the babies!) for a couple of hours - which flew by - before butter churning, scone baking and candle making. The tour is topped off with a fine spread of the children's scones and butter and some homemade blackcurrant jam. Our children left (dragging their heels) beaming and begging to come back again. Don't let your kids leave Kerry without a trip to this special place!

Kennedy's Pet Farm

All weather pet farm with indoor and outdoor playgrounds. Lots of baby animals to pet and cuddle.

Reviewed By bellesode - Tipperary, Ireland

We visited Kennedy’s pet farm last Saturday and we loved it. My son is 3 and he got real hands on experience with the animals the good and the bad ????. He could rub and feed all the animals with seed we purchased from coffee shop. He tried picking up a goat and got a “gentle” nudge of the goats head which thought him an important lesson on how not to handle animals! The animals are all very well taken care of and foul play is not tolerated. It’s well worth a visit but I’d advise you to bring a lunch as there isn’t much in the way of food.

Molly Gallivan's Cottage & Traditional Farm

Molly Gallivan’s cottage and traditional farm invites you to take a step back in time to experience the simple country lifestyle in rural Ireland before the days of electricity and modern conveniences. Molly’s enchanting cottage is over 200 years old and her farm is complete with animals, fowl and traditional farm machinery. Molly’s old Tea Shop is very unique in Ireland, here you will taste locally made foods cooked and baked in the traditional fashion. We also hold traditional Irish evenings at Molly Gallivan’s cottage, these are nights of Irish food, music, song, dance and story telling, re-enacting the old customs that took place in Irish homes. Advanced booking is required for our Traditional Irish Evenings please contact us for availability and prices.

Molly Gallivan's is every bit worth your time to stop and take in the history of rural Ireland. You get to experience what it was like to live a farm life in the old traditional way. On the farm, there are animals, orchards, gardens, a poitin still (Molly's Mountain Dew), and a house that is over 200 years old. There is a tea room and local crafts are sold. This was by far my favorite store to purchase handmade and quality gifts.

Kissane Sheep Farm

Reviewed By Nancywoodford

The visit to the kissane sheep farm was so interesting. We truly enjoyed and appreciated the demonstration of the sheep herding by the border collie and its handler. It was amazing to see how they worked together. The sheep shearing demonstration was also very interesting and informative. They also sell products like soaps and lotions which are excellent.

Sandy Feet Farm

Family run open farm and café opened in 2018. Get up close and personal with friendly farm animals, play in the play ground or have a tasty bite to eat in our beautiful café.

Reviewed By amywK1545WY

Went during the week with my 4 and 2 year old. Absolutely fantastic experience. Kids were entertained room start to finish. The sensory garden area is amazing but would definitely recommend bringing a change of clothes from all the mud pie making!!! The playground and tractor ride was a great hit for all the family. Got to stop and feed some animals too. The cafe has the most delicious cakes- my favourite being the brownie! All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Great day!! Have already booked in for next week.

Valentia Island Ice Cream

Sit on the terrace here, gazing out over green fields and the sea view, eating homemade ice cream produced from the milk of the Daly’s pedigree herd of Fresians, it’s hard to imagine feeling better. This is happiness in a double whammy cornet full!

Reviewed By 445ursulam

OMG, this ice-cream is incredible! We cycled (family of 5) from Cahersiveen, took the ferry across to Valentia Island, and headed up the hill to this place. It was so worth the trip. SO much so, a few days later, we were back for more!
