A good day out for the summer holiday!

The kids are off school – what do you do to fill the days?

Dublin and the surrounding counties have a plethora of choice when it comes to family attractions.

One of the newer additions is Tayto Park. Located outside Ashbourne, Co Meath, it is easily accessible from Dublin in a car or by train. Family tickets and season tickets are available.

The main attraction for the slightly older children is the exciting “sky adventure zone” that includes a climbing wall, a sky walk and air jumpers – all very popular so if you are in the park early go here first to avoid the queues. 

There is a large playground, a factory tour, pets corner and falconry displays at weekends.
For your mealtimes there are picnic tables if you want to bring your own lunch, there is also a lovely restaurant that serves sandwiches and dinners – all at reasonable prices. The cute “tea house in the tree house” serves coffees and ice cream.
The native American village has teepees where children gather around for story time – at weekends there is face painting and balloon animals for the children to enjoy.

It might sound strange, but a potato in a jacket has built a pretty good adventure park for the whole family!
