Great idea for a birthday day out - We had such a lovely day out for our daughter's 12th birthday. We had two alpacas, Espresso and Mocha, who were very well behaved. The trail was through beautiful countryside and just enough for us to have a good walk. The coffee stop was well provisioned and the coffee was really good. Kids loved the hot chocolate. Thank you to our guide Laura, she really looked after us. We will definitely come back.

Quirky & fun - Nice quirky activity for an autumn day, we arrived a bit early & got to feed the alpacas breakfast which my granddaughter loved, Laura/Lauren was a great guide very knowledgeable and kept the walk on track, beautiful grounds lovely walk, animals very calm (until a pheasant came flying out of a bush lol) We didn't have the picnic as we had a 4 yr old fussy eater with us but there is a lovely wee break in your walk for a cuppa & bun Lovely time had by all !

Wholesome family day out! - Amazing experience! We had booked for my nieces birthday! We had Expresso and Americano during our trek but got to interact with all the alpacas. The two girls on site for our guide were amazing! Place itself is beautiful and such a great day out. Memories we will cherish forever! Highly recommend a visit!

🦙 ☕🍪🧁🍰🌳🦋🌞 - Brilliant visit to Ballyburren Outdoor Escapes, to meet some new cuddly alpaca friends. Chilled out dander through gorgeous forest and coffee and treats at lakeside setting . Lindsay & Jolene looked after us so well and encouraged our young nephews with their 1st encounter with these amazing gentle aninals - awesome meet/greet/feeding experience in beautiful grounds. They are already planning their next visit! Hidden gem on our doorstep, sure what else would you be doing on a sunny Sunday morning 😊

Excellent and very enjoyable experience - We were wanting to do something a little bit different for a birthday treat. And this hit the mark. We enjoyed the trek with the alpacas (we were a family of four and walked with one of the baby alpacas, Americano). We had a great time and enjoyed a coffee and cookie from the coffee truck near the end of the route. Would definitely recommend. Good price!
