Ulster American Folk Park

What You'll Find

The Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh is a brilliant day out for curious children, taking families on a journey from rural Ulster to America. Rather than just looking at displays, you can wander through historic buildings and discover how people lived, worked and travelled long ago.

The traditional cottages, shops and streets make history feel much more real, and costumed interpreters may be on hand to bring stories to life. Children can compare the homes and everyday objects with the things they use today, then imagine what it would have been like to set off across the Atlantic. There is lots to explore, so it is worth allowing plenty of time rather than rushing around.

This is a lovely choice when you want a day out with something a little different for the wee ones. Take your time, follow their interests and enjoy making memories together.
