About the Business
Welcome to The Kerry Bog Village Museum, located in the heart of County Kerry in the picturesque village of Glenbeigh. Our institution is a unique establishment that provides an immersive and educational experience for visitors from all over the world. Our museum is a point of interest that is not to be missed during your trip to Ireland.
At The Kerry Bog Village Museum, we pride ourselves on bringing Irish history to life. Our museum showcases a recreated village that depicts rural life during the 18th and 19th centuries. Visitors can explore the thatched houses, a school house, a pub, and even a blacksmith shop to gain an understanding of what daily life was like for the people of Ireland during this time.
Our skilled actors, dressed in period costumes, also offer guided tours through the village, providing visitors with an in-depth look at Irish history. Visitors will get to see how peat was harvested, go on a traditional bog walk, and learn about the importance of the bog to Irish culture.
In addition to our recreated village, we also have a fantastic collection of artifacts and memorabilia on display that tell the story of how life in rural Ireland has changed over the years. Our collection features items such as authentic farm tools, household items, and clothing.
The Kerry Bog Village Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture or simply looking to experience a unique attraction in Ireland. We encourage visitors of all ages to come and explore our village, learn about Irish culture and heritage, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Kerry Bog Village Museum!

Reviews
"Grand! One word to describe the experience. Walking into is to enter a different dimension, a time when only the hardy made it past fifty. Makes you thankful God dropped you onto His Land during the existence of technology. Bog Village is necessary stop everyone must make if only to be thankful you weren't born then."
"It's great for a quick stop to enjoy some history on life in Ireland. While looking around, give a little pat and scratch behind the ears to the Irish wolf hounds and other animals. Before you leave, pop in next door for the best Irish or Baileys coffee in what some say all of Ireland... I know it was the best I had. They also have a nice gift shop with a wide variety."
"This place was adorable. Nits small but my mom said it was totally worth the price of admission. It helped to fill our day when we had no agenda and it was perfect. We got caught in the rain and enjoyed an irish cream in the red fox in and did some shopping in the gift shop which was REALLY NICE!"
"The Irish Wolfhounds were the best part. Sweet wonderful dogs. I also enjoyed just walking around the exhibits and seeing how you would live back then."
"Over-priced because you can go through it in 15-20 minutes. However it was interesting to see the restored village. Plus, they have Wolfhounds and Bog Ponies!!"
