About
The tour 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 definately great for a rainy day. It is not really suitable for children under 5 or who have not lost a tooth.If children are crying or disruptive, parents may be asked to leave with them till quiet, to allow other attendees to enjoy the whole experience. Adults should enjoy it at any age!

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Leprechaun Whisperer was brilliant, he kept the attention of the group with his entertaining story of how he became a Leprechaun Whisperer. My boys aged 5 and 9 loved it. It's everything the kids love - magic, Leprechauns, Fairies, and a bit of mystery. The Cavern and surrounding Park are full of detail and very well kept. The Leprechaun's we brought home have pride of place in our house. It's well worth a visit.

Fantastic, good fun. Plenty of stories enjoyed by all the family. The guide got everyone involved, with children invited to find the gold and audition to be the next leprechaun whisperer...

The gate was open when we passed by, so had a wander around. Lots of interesting stories and legends about the area and folk history.
There were graves of pets, lots of things for children to look at and adults to enjoy.
We enjoyed the scenery.

Went on a day trip to Carlingford. Throught we I would take my granddaughter Martha to Leprechaun and fairy Cavern. And I picked gold. An amazing experiencing and what value for money. They got to pick their own leprechaun and told what the leprechaun they picked meant. The Leprechaun whisperer made everyone of the kids feel special. He took the time to explained to them what happens in fairy and leprechaun land. There was no rush and the kids took every word in. The adults enjoyed it too. It was a great day and the tour made it. I have 2 more grandchildren so I will be back. If you are down that way call in you will not be disappointed . Mary

Kevin was a wonderful story teller and very humourous. We had sore jaws from laughing!
All of our party enjoyed it, including children from ages 4-16 years old.
Fantastic value for money!
We very much enjoyed visiting with Kevin and " the little folk" and look forward to visiting again!

Hi would this be suitable for a 2.5 yr old?

Hi Princess
No, they would get no value at all out of it. I use the tooth fairy as a criteria, So earliest is 5/6.However if you go to Sieve Gullian forest park in Newry she should love that
