I am the first to admit that sometimes I struggle a bit with museums but this is one which was anything but a struggle! To start with, this is some the best money I've ever spent - £7.50 for a ticket and I was there for 4 hours. You've maybe read the other reviews so I won't bore you with... More

I make a point of visiting the park every year. The layout and design of the park are excellent and a lot of work obviously goes into the maintenance of the facilities, pathways and houses as the standards are always very high. The houses and shops really take the visitor back in time with the sight and smell of the... More

This folk park is huge! It's a recreation of the villages of pre-famine Ireland and then the visitor walks through a rebuilt ship to arrive on the shores of America where "Baltimore" is recreated. Then the visitor walks through a village recreated as though it was in Pennsylvania. So you are able to visit each house, from poor to wealthy,... More

This is a great place to visit in order to get to grips with the plight of the Irish during the Potato famine and migration to the 'New World'

This is a place where history comes to life with the authentic buildings from the past and the people who are on the site, telling the stories of the times. The cottages from the... More

The music festival is good hand clapping foot stomping music in September Great for all ages . We had our picture taken in period costumes and its a great memento of our first visit.Will be taking my... More

I have been to the folk park many times with my kids and its always a good day out. Try and go on a good day as most of the stuff to see is outside and nothing worse than a miserable wet day to wander around. They have great parking and its pretty reasonable cost to get it. They really... More

Visited a number of times, always enjoyable. Charming visit back in time. Mild or good weather is an advantage, as well as comfortable walking shoes and clothing, as it is largely an outdoor environment.
