Educational, Fun & Hassle Free – Children explore on the highly educational guided tours through the Park’s woodland/peatland trails, gardens and numerous historic exhibitions, all brought to life with replica figures, holograms and touch screen multi-media. Many aspects of the educational tour are closely linked to the SESE curriculum and experienced guides will create or adapt tours to suit all age groups. There’s also a pet farm containing Fallabella horses, alpacas, donkeys, rabbits, goats, sheep and Bali ducks, and even pot-bellied pigs!


To burn off lots of energy, there’s the ‘funky forest’ indoor play centre with giant slide and ball pools, air hockey, fuzz ball, cable run and pirate ship. There’s also an 18 hole mini golf course, newly upgraded large outdoor play areas, green area for football etc. and train trip. The park is located in the Midlands - only 30 miles west of Dublin / easily accessible from most regions and is a ‘one-stop- shop’ for all your school tour needs!
