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.

Irish National Stud Visit
We had a very enjoyable & informative visit. Our guide, Ciarán was knowledgeable & entertaining.
Beautiful!
Beautiful place with great employees.the horses of course are magnificent. We had a nice walk around the stud. I was able to feed one a peppermint! Would have been nice to see some of the stallions up close but they were all out in their paddocks. Also the headphones/ tablet in the Irish Racehorse experience did not work right.
A day well spent!!
We had a fabulous tour with our guide Ciara….despite the rain! She was extremely informative, answered all questions and threw in a few jokey comments especially regarding Tommy teaser!! 😀. I had been several times before but none of my friends had so we thoroughly enjoyed it. Each time I’ve had a different guide and all have brought their own perspective which has been great. Highly recommend!!
Alot of new information given
We just got to the place just as a tour started and they allowed us to joined earlier tour. The gentleman that did our tour was very knowledgeable and made it enjoyable. Saw many of the horses they use for studding. At the end in the experience we were able to do a race and I won so it was enjoyable.
Well worth a visit. Cant believe such a fantastic experience is right on my door step
This was our second visit within 6 months and yet again we were not disappointed. We took friends with us for a tour of the stud and the japanese gardens. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. There was no waiting around everything was well planned and organised. The tour its self was so information and entertaining. The lad that gave our talk was fantastic, really interesting to hear all about the working and goings on at the stud. We will defo be back.
