Education and learning are at the core of Millstreet Country Park’s mission statement and have a major role to play in promoting the environment, culture, heritage and creativity to students of all ages. All programs have a strong focus on the interpretation of local and natural history, conservation and ecology. Millstreet Country Park is a most popular destination for school tours.
Millstreet Country Park is one of the leading educational, cultural and eco-tourism destinations in the South making it the perfect location for educating children on geological treasures, plant life & history.
A unique attraction in the South, Millstreet Country Park offers your pupils the opportunity to see many rare, endangered and native species of wildlife, plants and trees in secluded wooded areas alongside herds of red deer.
In addition to learning interesting nature facts, Ireland’s turbulent history and seeing one of the largest red deer farms in the South on tour, your pupils will also have the opportunity to be children and interact through play while getting some fresh air outdoors on this fantastic 500 acre estate of unspoilt beauty.
