Kinvara is only 30 minutes from Galway and is a charming little coastal town which is well worth a visit. It is very picturesque with plenty of cafes and restaurants selling delicious seafood. Near by is the  Burren Nature Sanctuary, a popular family visitor attraction and situated in the beautiful and unique Burren region of south Galway. Visitors can spend time exploring winding tracks of the fairy woodland trails while learning about the natural history of the Burren. Along the way you’ll meet a variety of friendly animals from goats, shetland ponies to alpaca, rabbits and guinea pigs. You can also visit the disappearing lake that drains twice a day. After the nature walk kids can play in the indoor play area or outside at the state of the art playground. Adults can enjoy the indoor exhibition, the delicious homemade food in the cafe or relax by the waterfall in the Rock Garden.
