Tralee Bay Wetlands — Attraction in Tralee Municipal District

A place to be visited! If you are expecting to find Disneyland this is not your place, but If you are around and want to have a good day out with the children this is the place to go to. Enjoy the day on the paddle boats and sail your way around the small lake. Stop for a while at the coffee shop and recharge your batteries while the children enjoy at the small playing grounds. They may want to have another go on the boats, so better have a piece of cake with the coffee. If you are more of a climber this is your place too as you can practice on the artificial climbing walls. Ring in advance as it may be booked for some "professional" (experienced) climber's practice. Fancy a relaxed walk and love quite environments?, do not miss the flooded area and take the challenge of spoting the suggested collection of birds, plants and bugs provided. In case you are only able to spot two swans and four ducks, as in our case, you can always go around the tall tower and try to identify the aromatic plants in the area, the collection of berry plants, the apple, pear and other fruit trees or explore the little orchards maintained by Alan, were vegetables and herbs are grown. I challenge you to find the potatoes, tomatoes, rhubarb, peas, pumpkins, onions and others delicacies cultivated there along with the lavender, thymus, rosemary, origanum and others aromatic plants that you may, or may not, be able to spot. But overall, whatever you fancy to do, go there and enjoy the company of the most helpful and charming staff that you will surely find anywhere. If you don't, you will be sorry. I am definitely coming back with the children as...

I did a Workshop at the Wetlands which far exceeded my expectations. An introduction to Dragonfly & Damselfly through the Biodiversity Ireland and their wonderful educator Geoff Hunt. A wealth of information and personal experience was shared in the morning session by Geoff. We were served a wonderful lunch with lots of choices which they provide for course groups and function as such. After lunch we went out to explore and find our Dragonfly & Damselfly in the habits that are so suited to them and were able to identify quite a few specific species which was an absolute treat to put out learning to to practice there & then. The welcome we got was just fantastic and put everyone at ease to state a course. Any course they are running there I am definitely going to make an effort to attend. So much to offered there. Its such a beautiful and peaceful site to visit any day...

This review is based solely on the food. While initially excited to order food , its the same people behind ballyseedy, the food left a lot to be desired. The selction is rather poor, certainly not somewhere you would recommend for lunch. What however left a bad taste was a few aspects

1. The staff had no idea if my card had been charged, staff member was junior and no-one could help her. So i had to run the risk that i was double charged.
2. as a party of 5, all our food was served about 5 minutes apart which was strange considering everyone ordered cold food 3)multiple times wrong food was brought...
