What a crazy year so far!

August 8, 2020 By admin

George the Monkey here again! Sorry its been so long since I wrote but it has been such a bizarre year. We were all ready to reopen in March and then Covid 19 hit. I’m not really sure what it is but it sounded very serious and I was very disappointed not to see all the visitor for another four months. Thankfully ye all started to slowly but sure come to visit me, I miss trying to scare all the little faces that press up to my glass window.

Anyways what news do I have to report, I saw the tortoise and the two baby bearded dragons out for a walk around the farm this morning while the people were feeding and cleaning out form all the animals. They are sooooo slow, I’d love to race them.

There was lots of baby animals born since last year, goats, lambs, chicks, fawns and even a little calf. We haven’t had a baby calf in ages. She is super cute!

I hear people are wondering do they have to book to come along to the farm but they don’t for the summer season. They are just checking the play area to make sure that there is not to many in there at one time. So everyone can still come along and have lots of fun.

We are so glad that the nice weather is back again, me and my wife Gina love sitting out in the sun relaxing! Well I better go, more sun bathing to do. See ye all over the next few months!!!

Bye!!!

Rua one of the baby fawns born this summer!

Pets on the farm

March 24, 2011 By admin

Glendeer-Pet-Farm-9There are lots of animals to meet on the farm like our Llama from South America, ostrich from Africa, Vietnamese pot belly pigs, deer, goats, emu, donkeys, and lots more animals & birds. You will also get the chance to meet our smaller animals that love to be petted like our rabbits, puppies and kittens. These are a favourite amongst our little visitors!
There is a large outdoor play area with plenty of entertainment for kids of all ages, including the very popular glider swing.  Also, because of our very unpredictable Irish weather there is an indoor sand area with diggers & a slide to keep the children entertained in any weather.

Children love the excitment and the adventure of a visit to Glendeer.

It is an unforgetable, interactive experience where you can pet and even hold, the animals, such as pups, rabbits & kittens. Children also get a bag of food to feed some of the animals such as goats, sheep, emu, deer, donkeys, cows, llama and lots more. Last season we got monkeys, wallabies and tortoises!
