Plenty of information and demonstrations of old skills. It was the bluegrass music festival when we visited and there was a great atmosphere with a wide variety of music in various locations throughout the centre. Will definitely visit again when the festival isn't on to get even more out of it. Good 1/2 day out for the whole family. Staff... More

Great day out for all the family, seeing Irish lodgings in Ireland itself of many a year ago and then the lodgings the Irish had when emigrated to America.. Some great stories to be heard by the actors in some of the houses and you could be lucky enough to get a taste of some good home made bread too...Very... More

It was an interesting museum and some of the actors were good. Go on the weather is good, because it`s an outside museum, so if it`s cold or very cold, the only thing you can think it`s to get warm on their lovely fireplaces.

The park was very well designed and there was something for all ages,not too spread out so I was able to see quite a lot of the outside areas.

Went here on Easter Tuesday and have to say I was really impressed. The quality of the museum exhibits and the attention to detail is fantastic. The exhibits all flow together nicely taking you on a journey explaining the trials in Ireland at the time and the high levels of emigration. Outside the trail takes you through various cottages and... More

Had a great time at the Ulster American Folk Park! Lots of history and a great way to get an insight into how things really were back then. The guy who greeted us as we entered the shipyard was brilliant and took us on an exciting journey :) FYI the cafe stopped serving hot food at 3.30 and we had... More

quite accessible for all families, the kids love it for the farm animals. Just watch out for anyone tall thats with you the houses etc are quite low. Very good history, great for kids to learn alot of history of the american & irish connections. Well presented staff are quite friendly, very reasonably priced. best to avoid at holiday season...

Not for the first time I have visited the Park and again met expectations. Friendly staff who were very knowledgable. The kids really enjoyed the walk and seeing the different buildings and listening to the stories. One of the main reasons we visited again was to get the gentlemans family photo taken to match our huntsman photo. Unfortunatley this wasn't... More
