When you go to see a cave, you go expecting to see something like this:

Instead we got to stare in awe at six inch stalactites which were badly lit having paid €12 each for the privilege. The "tour" lasted only 10 minutes and the guide was at the front of a large group so nobody at the back could hear her. To add insult to injury, we were expected to buy stuff in the trinkets store at the front. Myself & Eims felt conned as we left the place.
Do yourself a favour, don't waste your money here. Mitchelstown caves is far far better and you get to see something like this:

The year before last whilst living in Galway we were told that visiting Santa Claus at he caves was very good. So we decided to go with our two children, which from Oranmore was only about 40mins. It was shite, absolute shite, and cost wait for it €60 with photo's and a present, which was bought in the local Eurosaver shop. We seem to have an ability in this country of taking something beautiful and then making shite of it whilst charging an arm and a leg for it.
