Aillwee Burren Experience

Fantastic experience. For the ticket price, you get to visit both the cave and the birds of prey centre. The cave is very accessible and not difficult to navigate. There are some wondrous sights inside and the tour guide was both very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The birds of prey centre has a nice range of species to see and the flight shows are excellent. There are a number across the day each displaying a different set of birds. Highly recommended for a visit, the kids absolutely loved it.

Great visit Nice staff, very relaxed. And not only can you get to see the Birds of Prey but you can see it a SECOND time in the afternoon. Sometimes those Birds of Prey can be quite cheesy but not this one. The lads are witty and well informed and keep it interesting and entertaining throughout. Then there's the caves! Very impressive! Quite long, and expansive. Good access to it. Some people turned back, I guess they were claustrophobic - but to fair, it's all well spaced out with occasional caverns as viewing points. The guide is informative, keeps it short and simple and you learn/see a lot. Well worth the visit.

It's a great experience, but there's really little time in the caves, I'd like to walk around longer. Due to the large number of tourists, the tours go quite quickly. The bird show is more suitable for children, but it is interesting to look at the beautiful birds and how skillfully they fly. The cave is beautiful, very well equipped, comfortable to be in. But too quickly, perhaps the best time to visit is not the tourist season, for example October-November. The upper parking lot offers a great view of Ballyvaughn!

We cannot recommend this fantastic Cave tour enough! My 6 year old Daughter was in awe from start to finish. Our very friendly and highly educated tour guide Sinead made this a wonderful experience. Thank you to the staff and team for creating such a memorable family holiday. We will be back! Best wishes, Lisa, Cork.

We cannot recommend this place and the hawk walk enough. The hawk walk was the best experience ever! We booked for 10am and got introduced to 2 hawks, we then got to hold them on gloves and walk them into the woodland walk. We released them and then they kept coming back to the gloves for chicken. The walk lasted about an hour with the hawks always coming back to your glove, plenty of photos and learning about the amazing hawks from the guide. It was amazing and well worth the money. We then also watched all 3 bird displays as they have different birds each time, the cave tour and tried their cheese & fudge. We had a wonderful day and we highly recommend this place.

We thought it was really great. The birds were amazing and the cave was very interesting. We seemed to have arrived at a time when most tourists were taking their afternoon nap. The cave tour was done just for the two of us. Our questions, asked in broken English, were answered patiently. If you go there, you absolutely must do both and try the cheese and fudge in the farm shop while you're at it. A big thank you to all the staff there! They were incredibly nice and friendly.

Amazing visit to the Aillwee Burren Experience! Tomb up for our tour guide – he was great and made the cave tour fun and informative. The cave itself was spacious and really interesting to walk through. The Birds of Prey attraction show was very nice – my son loved it and it was a highlight of the day. I also really enjoyed the cheese tasting and bought some to bring home. So nice to be back after 14 years – still a wonderful place. Highly recommend for families and nature lovers!

Amazing day out, the staff are so friendly and extremely knowledgeable regarding the birds. My son and myself learnt so much and had a fantastic time. The cave itself was stunning and a wonderful experience, I would highly recommend if you are in the area. Extra details - your ticket into the cave covers you for the birds of prey show too, however its not just for the one show its also for all of them if you dont mind having a stroll or something to eat while waiting for the next show, which is fabulous value for money and definitely worth the wait. Again I would whole heartedly recommend 👌 staff where delightful and let plenty of the visitors have a go at holding the birds of prey which to me was an invaluable experience for my 10 year old 🥰
