5.00SUPER HELPFUL! Everyone in Ireland is nice, but these gals are something else! So kind, and helpful! The exhibit has a ton of history and Irish specific culture! Tons of maps, and not just of The Burren! And the Café! So awesome! Only had two amazing Chai lattes in Ireland so far and this is was one of them! If you want the Burren experience and a good direction for your driving your, go here first and fill up your coffee before you go! -T&K

5.00Review for the Burren Visitor Centre What a fabulous trip! We stopped in the café and had an all-day Irish breakfast it was absolutely yummy. The whole place is so quaint and welcoming. We met a lovely lady, who I’m guessing was the manager, and she was so helpful and informative. After breakfast, she told us how to go up into the exhibition, explore the local area and the High Crosses, and then pop into their craft shop. We had such a fun chat with her. The craft shop is gorgeous , full of lovely gifts and local products. Everything felt really unique and thoughtfully chosen. The café could do with a little updating, as the décor felt a bit tired, but it didn’t take away from how lovely the atmosphere and service was. All in all, it was a fantastic day out. I would 100% recommend!
Good experience

5.00Nice visit, very informative but would have been better tied into the visit to the Cliffs of Moher, the day before. We would have liked more than the allotted 30 minutes we had to visit. Lovely staff and plenty of gifts in the shop
Informative, friendly and welcoming. Best place to start your visit to really understand this unique area.

5.00Wonderful & very informative visitor center. The exhibition is brand new & well-presented. After the visit you'll have a great overview about the Burren's geology, culture, history, botany & wildlife. The staff at the reception is very friendly & knowledgable about the region. The Kilfenora Cathedral & Crosses are right down the street, so the two sights can be easily combined. Would definitely recommend!
Enjoyable Burren Experience
