Barrel Train Update
Mar 30, 2018March 2018 Barrel Train Update
The barrel train has been getting steadily busier over the past year and we have had to change our policy in order to prevent large queue build-ups at the barrel train stop & subsequent customer frustration. From now on children with a wristband will get one barrel train ride included in the admission price per day. The driver will mark each wristband when the child avails of the barrel train ride. One adult may accompany each child on the barrel train if desired ( in separate barrel unless the children are under 3 years). All children aged 18 months and under 3 years must be accompanied in the same barrel by an adult.
The barrel train will run each day at 12.00, 2.00 and 4.00 pm.
When the farm is busy, the barrel train will run from the barrel train stop next to the penalty shoot out area. On quieter days the barrel train will run from the barrel train stop above the zip wire.
We are confident that this new policy will prevent large queue build-ups at the barrel train stop and subsequent customer frustration and ensure the safety of all customers. If any child wants to go for a second barrel train ride, they may purchase a ticket from the entrance hut for €1.00 each
