Welcome
Busy Barn Mini Farm is a family run children’s farm just outside the beautiful village of Dunmore East, only 15 minutes drive from Waterford City and Tramore.
It provides a fun, educational and great value day out for adults and children alike, whatever the weather. Busy Barn Mini Farm has lots to keep the kids occupied – meet the animals, have fun outside, or discover the indoor play area.
We can’t wait to meet you!

No matter what the weather enjoy the soft play area for kids up to age 12.
We have large climbing frames, ball pools, slides and lots more.
The entire kids area is covered in foam flooring for comfort.
We have a separate area for under fours to ensure safe play for all ages.
NEW! BABY BARN
We are delighted to introduce our new outdoor covered Baby Barn. Full of small slides, low climbing equipment and even a fire truck and school bus! Suitable for under fours.
Outdoors
The outdoor areas at Busy Barn Mini Farm are as exciting as the indoor area!
Our animals and birds in our mini farm are very excited to meet you all! We have a pony, pigs, sheep, goats and Terrance the Turkey likes to show off to visitors. Our ducks and geese will have a great chat with you as you pass by!
We also have an outdoor eating area where the adults can relax with a cuppa, and something nice to eat, from our café while the kids play.
There’s lots to play on: swings, slides, climbing frame and a sand pit. We have little tractors and cars to pedal around in
