School Tours in Ireland at Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre

Fun for all the Family

The Cliffs of Moher are a wonderful place to visit with children – whether within a family group or in a group tour. It’s educational, inspiring, fun – all in a safe environment with world-class facilities.

The Cliffs Exhibition is rich in interesting and instructive material that makes learning about the cliffs lots of fun.

When out on the viewing platforms, ask a Ranger to tell you about the Cliffs – from the birds you can see to stories and legends.

Look out for the Atlantic Puffins nesting on Goat Island, between April and July. You’ll be best placed to see them on the left-hand side of the viewing platform.
