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.

    This was hands down one of our favorite things to do on our recent trip to Ireland. My son (8) LOVED being able to handle the hawk and watch it out in nature. The whole staff was top notch and the Im pretty sure the animals live a better life than I do ;)

    All in all, a great experience. Was beautiful, educational and just downright special.

    Worthwhile stop - happily paid the admission in order to support the site. Good video gives some excellent background about the site and it's significance. The impressive and intelligent skills of the ancient stone mason in constructing the oratory is well-explained. Very well kept site - clean grounds and facilities.

    A little piece of heaven on earth in the southwest of Ireland, but beware of the strong rip tide which deserves your fullest respect. The Angel who you see sitting on the rocks was just visiting so she will not be there to protect you on your visit.

    This is the perfect hike for families! It's easy, and the views are simply stunning. It is a 2 euro entry fee. We went on a muddy morning, the trial is also covered in sheep poop, but then you come back down you can rinse your shoes with a hose and a brush. One of our fave walks we did in Dingle!

    We didn't expect much walking in on a whim? however after the tour my wife and I looked at each other and pretty much said "well worth it". The person doing the commentary on the Otters, Penguins and Shark tank was very good. the Butterfly area was one of the better ones I have been in. The fish and sea creatures they had in such a small aquarium (and small town) was impressive. Good Job Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium

    I was on my way to a pub that was packed, so I wondered by this church where I heard music playing and they let me in for free because the concert was almost over. I went upstairs to hear the most wonderful music in a beautiful setting....it was magical

    Dingle Bay is a very beautiful coastal area in the Southwestern of Ireland. From here, you can see very beautiful views of the coast, the cliffs and the land. We came here to follow Slea Head Road, and really we could see a lot of very nice views. However, a cloudy day is not the best option to come here. Very nice.

    I visited Kilmalkedar Church with my wife, kids (14, 11, 7yo), and parents (70s) on a cloudy, but pleasant June day. This activity was enjoyed by all parties, and I do recommend it as a fairly short (less than 1 hour) family-friendly stop.

    The church at Kilmalkedar is a ruin, but there is a lot more there than meets the eye at first. There is a lot of carved detail here and there, making the visit a little like an Easter egg hunt. Enough remains of the building for the imagination to fill in the blanks, and really appreciate what this beautiful building must have been like in its heyday.

    The church is situated within a cemetery that is filled with a wide variety of monuments from different times and in different styles. Many of the inscriptions are in the Irish language, and some are even fairly recent. In this way, the cemetery is a little like a time line showing the changes in burial monuments.

    The situation around the church is also lovely, as it nestles in hills and looks down onto the sea. Overall, this even kept the interest of our youngest for 20-30 minutes, and so I think that it is a good family stop. There is enough to see to keep children busy, and the qualify edified the adults.

    Very quick look at a castle. You can't get close to it, but it's beautiful to look at, and we got some great pictures.

    The Irish Famine Cottages located here are a rustic memorial as a reminder of the tragedy of the famines. These cottages are becoming more rare in Ireland as many have been demolished due to lack of care and to make room for more modern structures. The main cottage here was built in the 1840's, it is an example of one of the earliest slated roofs on a cottage.

    This is also a site of a small animal park, the animals were very friendly.

    This attraction has a good parking area across the street from the entrance. Admission was 3 euros cash, and the site is accessed by walking a steep path to the top of the nearby hill. The ring fort was built here many years ago with excellent views of the surrounding countryside. Inside the fort are several beehive-shaped huts made entirely of stacked flat stones with low entrance doorways. Several are missing the very top of the roof, but there was still one that is completely enclosed. It was very interesting engineering achievement to see how the huts were constructed.

    This was SO much fun and definitely a highlight of our trip. Plenty of friendly animals (sheep, pigs, llamas, horses, goats) and generally clean grounds. That said: make sure you clean our hands well after enjoying time with the animals (pretty sure this is where a nasty stomach bug was picked up - but, who knows!). It's an easy stop with free parking across the road - & a small fee for food to feed the animals (bring cash).

    We had only one night in Dingle on this occasion. Top of our list this visit was to do Dick Macks Brewery Tour. So glad we did it. Our host Bobbi did an amazing job. She gave us very good information about the birth of the brewery in 2017 and it's journey since. We tasted some super beers during the tour. The brewhouse itself was amazing to see and loved learning about the process. This has been a highlight of all of our visits to Dingle and I would highly recommend it.

    Dingle Tourist Office is located in the small town called Dingle, in Western Ireland. It is a very good tourist office, where you can obtain a lot of information about the surroundings, especially the Dingle Peninsula, where there are a.lot of natural sightseeing points, lookouts and prehistoric settlements. Very interesting.
