Overview

The visit includes 15 minutes of storytelling and an introduction to how the last leprechauns of Ireland became a protected species by the E.U..This is done in the story room across from the cavern at Shalom B.B.You may park there. This is followed by a visit below the ground where leprechauns and fairies converge in the morning as the sun rises. The visit is predominately indoors and perfect for a wet day.

Great Day For Kids

2 adults and 3 kids cost €28 for just over an hours entertainment. Kids loved it and Kevin is very likeable. Each kid gets a leprechaun ornament included in price. Recommended

Excellent engaging story and friendly kind owners.

We arrived only to view the gardens as we were under the impression the cavern was closed weekdays which is not the case, there is a tour each day at 3pm. We accidentally ran into the tour and I explained that we had initially wanted...More

Great place to visit with young kids

I took my 3 & 6 year olds there and wasn't disappointed. Kevin took us on the tour and is highly entertaining. He's a great (funny) storyteller and the kids were sucked right in. Well worth a visit for little visitors to Carlingford.
