You can feed the animal of your choice and learn some fun facts about them on a wildlife talk, which will be available to partake in every day until April 7th.

Lough Key is the perfect day out for an active family, or if you think you should appreciate the outdoors a bit more!
Choose from ziplining, boat tours, electric cycle routes, and a Swedish escape room-like activity called a Boda Borg for older kids.
