Clonfert Pet Farm

Clonfert Pet Farm is at Clonfert in County Kildare, in the countryside of the Irish midlands. It is an open farm aimed squarely at families, where children can get close to farm animals and smaller pets in a supervised, hands-on setting.

Alongside the animals there are usually play areas and refreshments available, so a visit can stretch comfortably across a few hours. It makes a straightforward day out with young children, particularly in fine weather, and gives them a first introduction to Irish farm animals and how they are cared for.
