Burren Nature Sanctuary, based in Kinvarra, County Galway, offers guided animal interaction experiences focused on mini pigs and other farm animals. The sanctuary provides short, structured visits that combine a safety briefing with hands-on time to meet, pet, and brush the animals.
The Meet the mini pigs experience begins with a brief safety talk, followed by a 30-minute session with miniature pigs.
