  Killarney National Park Education Centre is a non-profit entity operated by Cappanalea OEC in conjunction with the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The Centre is based in Knockreer House, the last of the Kenmare mansions, which is situated on a hill close to the town and has spectacular views over the National Park. The mission statement of the Centre is "To run educational courses and activities within Killarney National Park that will promote knowledge, understanding, enjoyment and appreciation of the natural environment for all". Our ethos is based very much on a hands-on approach to learning about nature, and it is hoped that through this the participant will become more aware of the value of an unspoilt environment and the need for conservation.
Hostel and camping accommodation is available for the use of groups who are visiting the National Park to avail of services offered by the Education Centre.
