Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

What travellers are saying
- Tim P6 contributionsWhat you get
* A museum exhibition giving a history of Limerick from earliest times to the present. The early parts are easy to understand with a strong narrative thread. Into the 16th century the narrative of the three sieges and the wider political situation surrounding them becomes less clear as the exhibition focuses on the story of the castle.
* Really excellent models and drawings showing how the castle and town would have been at different times.
* An archeological exhibit with labelled diagrams linking what is in front of the visitor to a reconstruction picture of the past. Would have been easier to follow with button-spotlights highlighting what is being pointed out.
* A castle courtyard with a number of activities led by very good volunteers, including medieval (and ancient) board games and lute playing demos. If you come with children you might escape cries of "I'm bored" for up to half an hour (if you are very lucky). If you have geeky children you may struggle to extract them from this area. You can see this area from the coffee shop.
* Exhibitions in the castle towers. Many of these contained "interviews" with actors playing documented medieval citizens of Limerick. Unfortunately a number of these were broken when we visited.
* The chance to take a funny video of yourself playing catch with huge rocks which turn out to be fake.
What you don't get
* To negotiate a pointless treaty.
* To lower small children from the walls to set fire to neighboring houses.Written 16 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is well maintained and offers an excellent Visitors' Centre describing the periods of occupation in fascinating detail as well as local history. Replicas of artefacts discovered here are also on display. Advisable to Google in advance to grasp the magnificence of this site. The largest Stone Circle in Ireland is in the area. Coffee and biscuits are available but no cooked meals. Go to Reardon's pub restaurant nearby for that.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Denis11 contributionsWe have been visiting Tera for the last 4/5 years and every time we visit, we adore every second.
This visit- we were 3 adults and 3 children (8,5&3) and there was something for everyone.
Entry is €8/adult and €6/child with access to free tea, coffee and biscuits. You will not find better value anywhere
There are lovey fairy statues and doors everywhere with a story that follows the adventures of Delvin.
At the end, there is a lovely hobbit house with an amazing value shop. (There were fairy doors there for at least half the price of some other shops)
We hope to visit again before the end of the summer and tell all our friends about the amazing gem.Written 3 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - travelsnobFortMyersFort Myers209 contributionsI went first thing in the morning on Saturday and it was a lovely market with a good variety of mostly food items. There were a few craft vendors and second hand booths as well. The food was artisan but at reasonable prices. It’s a great place to have a casual snack, pick up ingredients for a meal, or get some baked goods. My only complaint is that a lot of the food is just sitting out on tables with no wrapping or covering, which maybe seems less sanitary, but I am finicky like that. There were mostly locals shopping here and they seemed to have relationships with the food stall sellers, as repeat customers. Great place.Written 22 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

It's not that there is much to see, it's more the significance of it. It is a mounted block of limestone by the Shannon, it was the stone upon which the Treaty was reigned in 1609 to end the Siege of Limerick. It is located in a very picturesque place right by the Thomond Bridge over the Shannon facing King John's Castle. If you go to the castle you will learn a lot about the stone and the history of the city anyway and I think it would be a real pity for any visitor to miss this singular piece of history.Written 20 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caroline Q1 contributionMy kids had such a brilliant day, cormac was such a gentleman and great patience with my kids they were so excited , and when they went it in , cormac was attacked with all the questions, but he went along with the mystery of the game then my kids couldn't wait to start , my kids found it a bit difficult but cormac helped them as much as he could and let them think it was them solving the puzzle such an amazing day they had, in the car on the way home they were planning which the next room to solve was going to be, thanks escape rooms and cormac for making my kids day so much fun ,
Thank you see ye soon carolineWritten 25 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As the business has gotten bigger and grown in size, it's simply not as nice. It needs more cleaning, areas need fixing and the heat needs to be turned on more frequently. I found the area for younger children too small. The outdoor area hasn't been open the last few times we went.
Overall, this plays needs updating and fixing. Indoor play spaces are great for kids especially given Ireland's weather, but I can't rationalize paying this price for a place that isn't offering a service worth that price anymore.Written 15 March 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
