It was something like $13 euro a piece for our family. The tour took about 45 minutes and our guide Evan was amazing! Very interactive, engaging, funny, informative, all the things you'd hope for from a guide. We learned a lot about the company, including how they're older than Guinness (who ironically bought them in the 60s). The tour ended with a stop at the tasting room - major tip - pay the extra $5 and get the three half pint tasting flight! They're lovely! It's a great spot to chill for a bit and chat with new friends! The gift shop has swag and plenty of cans to take home with you, as well as glasses that you can have custom etched. This was an amazing tour for the price and something that anyone visiting the area should consider!

There is a visitor centre where you can view the Ferns tapestry project which is kinda cool. You can actually go inside the remaining tower and see the rooms and some interesting feature before you get to the roof. You can see about five counties from there on a clear day.

The exhibit itself is really well done. It's all self guided and interactive so you can go at your own pace. Some of it is really in depth and but it's easy to understand if you follow along closely. Cafe was a little disappointing-selection felt a bit restrained and unrefined. Grand if you want a cheese sandwich and a strong milky tea but other than that I would avoid.

It will need to be rebuilt but maybe by 2024 it will run. They offer a treasure hunt for the kids and that really went over great for our 3 and 5 year olds. It is a sheet with about 16 pictures for the kids to find along the ride. One of the things to find are in a fairy garden and they even stop the train to let the kids have a good look. That was nice. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to about trains here and around the world. The trip is shortened during the week days and longer on the weekend. We had the short trip and it was fine. The food in the cafe is ok but they do offer to warn up sandwiches which was nice.
