Kildare's famous home of Irish horse racing, where you can watch mares and foals grazing the paddocks and learn how champion racehorses are reared. The award-winning Japanese Gardens wind along a symbolic journey-of-life path with stepping stones, a red bridge and little tunnels, and St Fiachra's Garden adds woodland and water. The interactive Racehorse Experience lets kids ride a virtual race. One ticket covers it all, a lovely full day out near Kildare town.
