Red Mountain Open Farm, named after the nearby Red Mountain hill between the farm and Donore Village, is steeped in local heritage.

Located just five minutes from the famous monument, the farm offers the largest indoor facilities of any open farm in Ireland, ensuring a fun day out in any weather. Visitors can enjoy spacious indoor and outdoor play areas, meet friendly animals in well-kept enclosures, and take part in a variety of family-friendly activities.

Highlights include the Blue Barrel Express and the traditional Horse & Carriage Ride, both available for €2.50 per ticket, as well as pedal tractors, didi cars, sandpits, and peaceful country farm walks. The indoor animal and fowl enclosures are home to donkeys, goats, rabbits, ducks, geese, chickens, hens, and other seasonal residents, making it a delightful experience for animal lovers. General admission is €10 for adults and children, with a discounted rate of €8 for senior citizens.
