I have been meaning to visit this place for years. As we are currently staying in the Omagh area we finally got around to visiting and it was worth it. It was busy the day we went as high season and during N.I’s peak holiday week but in spite of this it was still a very pleasant experience. The park portrays the immigration from Ulster and settlers in the US story and is beautifully laid out. For me the Mellon homestead was the highlight but we enjoyed it all. The cafe is a good with toasties etc but also Irish Stew but you need to go early on busy days to get the best choice.

Ulster American Folk Park is a top-notch attraction that has been developing for years and adds a little extra exhibit. Love the contrast between the old and the new world, and also love the transition through sailing and entering the American docks to let visitors learn about the local immigrant history.
