Itinerary
The Irish National Stud & Gardens is one of the only thoroughbred breeding farms open to the public. Located only 40 minutes from Dublin, it is one of Ireland’s true treasures. It is a unique attraction of outstanding natural beauty and home to some of the most magnificent horses and sumptuous gardens found anywhere in the world. Beginning in the early 1900s, the stud has produced some of the finest racehorses in Europe. Join a guided tour around the Stud where you will see stallions, mares & foals and our wonderful retired racing stars Hurricane Fly, Beef or Salmon and Faugheen on our ‘Living Legend's’ team. Our Interactive activity ‘The Irish Racehorse Experience’ brings to life the worlds of these magnificent animals. You can also visit two remarkable gardens: the Japanese Gardens & St Fiachra’s Garden. From horses to horticulture, the Stud is beautifully set on 850 acres of green rolling hills and provides a unique experience for everyone to enjoy.

Traveler reviews
A magical family day out
The National Stud holds such a special place in our hearts, and it was incredibly meaningful to return, this time with our little boy. It’s a truly beautiful place, with stunning grounds, wonderful horses, and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Being able to share somewhere so special with the next generation made the visit even more memorable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and everything was so well cared for. We created memories we’ll treasure forever, and we can’t wait to come back again as a family. A place that will always be close to our hearts—highly recommended.
Great family day out
The gardens are a maze of wonderment. The experience is a lot of fun and interesting at the same time. The tour is very informative and our guide was really great sorry can't remember her name but she was great.
A must visit
Absolutely stunning gardens and overall setting. The Japanese gardens are magnificent, tended with such care by the staff. St. Fiachra's garden is amazingly tranquil, with so many different paths to experience a new view of the setting. The museum and experience are really well worth the visit, again such helpful and friendly staff, Alistair provided excellent information and knowledge throughout our tour.
Highlight of our Vacation!
We had 7 in our group. One currently races horses back in the United States. This was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. The access to see the Studs, Mommas and Babies was incredible! We throughly enjoyed being able to stroll at our own pace and enjoy seeing all the horses. We also did the did the Irish Race Horse Experience. This was so much fun. You absolutely have to do this if you visit. We absolutely loved the entire experience.
very good
we had a lovely day out, plenty of parking and seating in picnic area, staff were very pleasant and enjoyed the experience. just one downside with all the ponds/rivers the was no fish, which was very surprising for the japanese gardens.
