Bunratty Castle & Folk Park is Ireland’s most iconic and much loved days out for School Tours.

The world famous 15th century Bunratty Castle and 19th century Bunratty Folk Park provides students with the opportunity to experience and explore a window into Ireland’s past.


Explore, Investigate, Develop

Our tours encourage children to work as historians. They investigate the lives of the people as well as the significant structures at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. The spiral approach of learning is reinforced by engaging with real life characters while following the strands of the Social, Environmental and Scientific Education Curriculum, which are:

  • Local Studies
  • Stories
  • Myths and Legends
  • Early People and Ancient Societies
  • Life, Society, Work and Culture in the Past
  • Continuity and change over time
  • Feasts and Festivals in the Past
  • Homes
  • Schools
  • Building, Sites or Ruins in My Locality
  • My Locality Through the Ages
