Glendeer Pet Farm is a premier 12-acre family destination located in Curryroe, just 10 minutes west of Athlone (N37 HY39). This award-winning open farm offers an immersive “hands-on” experience where children and adults can interact with over 50 species of domestic and exotic animals. From bottle-feeding lambs and petting cuddly puppies to meeting meerkats, monkeys, and wallabies, the farm is designed to be both educational and high-energy. Beyond the animals, visitors can lose themselves in a large timber maze, race on the double obstacle course, or explore the magical Fairy Trail and Hobbit Village. With extensive indoor play areas and a restored 1850s cottage, Glendeer ensures a full day of country fun regardless of the unpredictable Irish weather.
It can be a great way for children who live in towns and cities to experience farm animals close up. A wide range of animals live on the farm, from goats, cows and sheep to the more exotic emus, llamas, alpacas, wallabies and monkeys. Children can feed the larger animals, and see pheasants, turkeys, ducks, geese and hens roaming freely in the farmyard.
