Description
Privilege
Great place for a walk. Multiple paths to choose varying in length. Easy flat walks. And if nice art work set about form recycled tracks and items from board na mona. My son loves the old turf trains and its nice they are looked after and kids can see them and sit inside. The cafe is good nice cakes and sandwiches. Great place get some fresh air and exercise.
MoreBrilliant place for a nature walk. My son loved playing on all the trains and was fascinated by the big whale.
MoreWonderful walk with lots of biodiversity, plenty of bird life and a chance to see the only Partridges in Ireland In natural habitat .
MoreLovely few hours here. Great walks so relaxing. The organic kitchen has a lovely choice of food. Really fresh sandwiches and lovely cakes. Also the nicest staff I have met in a long time.
MoreHave to say this is one of the Midlands hidden gems. The regeneration of the board na Mona bogs in this area is fully evident at Lough Boora discovery park. Lovers of biodiversity, conservation, ecology and of course birds will be in there element here. Home of the Gray Partridge project this is worth the trip. A bird watchers paradise with lapwing, golden plover, partridge, buzzard, hen harrier and even the white tailed sea eagle all spotted in the last year.If all this is your "cup of tea" give Lough Boora discovery park a visit you wont be disappointed.

MoreNice park and interesting sculptures. One minor note: we arrived at the café at about 5.30pm and it, and the toilets, were closed. The gated car park closes at 6pm "sharp"and is €5 but there is a free car park for a few cars just down the road.

MoreAbsolutely beautiful place of natural beauty. I used to live not far and bring my dogs here every day. Highly recommend but not on your own if you don’t know the area you would easily get lost. Many years ago you would, not sure if they have made it a little more touristy now with paths and signs etc. will come back with pics soon xxx
MoreWow. It is an art gallery, open air, huge blue skies, swans, surprises, such fresh air. Amazing. Kids loved it too.
MoreThis is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. So peaceful and filled with really interesting sculptures. The forest walk was a particular highlight.Unfortunately, despite the website saying that there are toilets and a café, both were closed. There were no bins along the trails. There is a distinct lack of signage too. Many of the crossroads had no signs at all!We thought we were on one of the looped trails only to discover ourselves completely outside the park with a very long walk to get back!

MoreA great day out for the family by walking or cycling. Cycling hire is reasonably priced. Cafe on site. My son says "some of the sculptures were great and some were rubbish", but hey, thats art !
MoreGreat place for a family day out. It offers cycling and bike hire with a mix of route lengths. There is a good fairy walk, sime Thomas style trains and some interesting large sculptures so something for most people. The weather was excellent the day we visited which no doubt added tobthe experience, okay we wouldnt have gone if it was raining! The cafe seems nice, we took a picnic and the bike hire guys are very friendly. The bikes see hard use and some are showing signs of wear and tear so choose carefully! One observation Boora is hard to find on car Sat Nav and the address on the website doesnt seem to help! Google maps worked fine.
MoreDiscovered this place by accident. Its amazing and beautiful. Took my 6 year old there to cycle his bike (9.3 km). I recoiled slightly at the cost of lunch, but it was really nice and it was substantial so worth the money I suppose. You can bring a picnic of course but, as in was staying in a hotel nearby, that wasnt easy to arrange. Anyway, its a great place to bring the family.
MoreGreat place to go especially with kids. You can rent bikes and bring your own picnic with plenty of places to sit. Great for the kids to explore the old trains that used to be user here. Great day out. Brilliant fairy trail for the kids too.
