Your eyes aren't deceiving you, yes it is the skeleton of a whale on display in the park. Back in 2009, the fin whale stranded on Burren Beach and later died. An autopsy was carried out on its body for a Channel 4 programme 'Inside Nature's Giants'. You can watch the programme online on You Tube or the Channel 4 website.
