Glendeer Pet Farm is an award winning 12 acre open farm which is owned and run by the O’Connell family. It opened its’ gates to the public in April 1991 with over 50 species of animals and birds. Since the pet farm opened it has been featured on numerous TV programmes and has won several awards. Situated just 5miles from Athlone town, (Exit 13 on the Motorway and follow the signs for Drum) it is a must see when in the area.
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!
