    What a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon! Lovely staff, clean facilities and great animals. Car park was not busy and beside there is a field with pot-belly pigs wandering around and also a galloping herd of piglets when we were there! Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. The walk was nice and gentle on stony paths (not muddy at all) with plenty of flowers and trees around. The alpacas were on leads and were able to be led by children. The animals were a little timid and skittish and not really willing to be petted, but happy enough to walk around with us. Happy to say that alpacas don't spit like llamas do! There was a stop for refreshments at a little coffee cart near the end and a colouring competition for the kids. Nice clean toilets on site. Highly recommended!

    Thoroughly enjoyed our Alpaca walk with Espresso. The kids just loved it, all its wee noises, walking it up and down small hills. The coffee rest stop with cakes and colouring in was really good too. Throughly recommend for kids. We also got to see their pigs and piglets. Great place.

    Without a doubt the best value for money for a kids activity. The Muddy Tots Forest School is amazing. David took so much time with each of the kids & the forest set up was brilliant. The whole trail is beautifully done & toilet were spotless. Highly recommend!

    My family and I visited for the Halloween trail. The weather was awful but we had a great time, the kids were thoroughly entertained and scared. There were many actors dressed up in costumes to create a unique experience, the owners dressed up too.

    If I could give 10 stars I would!! We had an amazing experience at Bally Burren with Damien and the gorgeous Alpacas! The walk itself was lovely and easy for both grown ups and children, Damien was there to answer all the questions we had about the alpacas and just kept us all safe. We had the honour to have Flat White and Mocha to walk with us and they were sooo cute! An unforgettable experience and a tick on the bucket list!

    Brilliant experience in a beautiful setting. Damien is a great host and guide, happy to share his knowledge of Alpacas and gave us a bit of a background on the 3 boys, Flat White, Mocha and Espresso. Beautiful, gentle creatures who are a little bit shy but definitely individual characters! At the end of the trek we had a lovely coffee and delicious sweet treat before the boys headed back to their field. Other activities are also on offer, for example a forest school for different age groups, I'll definietly be back with my granddaughter. Highly recommend a visit here, look foward to next time!😊

    Amazing experience! My partner and I had an amazing time meeting Espresso, Mocha and Flat white! The trek is beautiful. All the rangers are so friendly and welcoming. A beautiful walk with a lovely coffee truck at the end! Would 100% recommend!

    We had a fantastic afternoon with our 3 y.o. and 2 y.o. doing the Alpaca trekking at BallyBurren. A fantastic experience with fun farm, picnics areas & forest school! Well worth a visit, would really recommend for a fun and unique family experience.

    We had a brilliant experience walking Espresso as a Father’s Day treat! Emma, our guide, looked after us so well, and the trail was easy to navigate, even for our 5 year old. One of the highlights was the luxury picnic hamper we had at the end, on our own wee island. It was totally worth it to have tasty wraps, scones, cheese board and treats and we were so full there was enough to take home! The kids hot chocolate we got from the cute coffee truck was a hit too! (Also v clean toilets, always a plus!)

    Brilliant free play forest school experience. A beautiful walk round to the forest school area, lovely play area and great guided activities. We go to a lot of outdoor and forest school type mornings with our 2 year old and this has been the best we’ve been at. Would definitely recommend it.
