I had a 2 star review from last year. There was communication with the Park regarding the issues and I couldn’t be more surprised and happy with the approach and proactivity in sorting what really needed to be sorted. A few months later (yesterday) I re-visited the park and couldn’t believe how much it had improved, this place is a one of a kind in Ireland and I’d say in Europe, it’s beyond belief. My little ones absolutely love it (and myself to be honest), starting by the gates either the “proper music”, the dinosaurs itself, the bouncy castles (I’ll have to try the big one once my older one can go there), the FREE face paintings…all is absolutely marvellous. The only thing I’d suggest the park is to maybe improve the food offer, apart from that there is nothing to point to this place apart from its excellence and unique characteristics that even adults love. If there were a special 6-star rating I’d offer it to this place.

Like other reviews it's a 30 minute walk(if even) around in a circle with a few mechanical dinosaurs on the way all fenced in with very unkempt surroundings(maybe that's the look they are going for 🤷) , a few fairy doors, a dirty butterfly photo opportunity, a talking tree that you can't hear because it's so low on volume, a wishing well, the one Dinosour that is supposed to be a ride on is not there at the minute!! There is a go kart track with 4/5 working go karts with no time limit so the same kids can keep going around for however long while others were waiting and waiting for them to finish. A few toy tractors in an area around 3 /4 of them with broken seats. The best part is the playground, really nice and the animals were very friendly too. Facepainting, zip line and sandpit were there also. There is a new section bounce that is not included in the price, it's cool but the under 5 section is just a square with a ball pit inside and a large dinosaur nothing special so for the more mature or rougher younger ones it's not great the other side is much better.

2nd time visiting here. Some very good new additions, but the delays to get onto the Bouncy Castle was very frustrating and nearly ruined the experience!! Tickets & and waivers were checked at the front entrance but had to queue in a very slow moving queue to get socks & wrist bands. Took over 25 minutes to just to the collect the wristband!! Socks were given while in the queue but still had to wait for the wristband so the waiver could be checked again 2nd time. People in the queue made it even longer just to buy merchandise. Should be seperate shop or better wristbands given at the front entrance. Only for really helpful staff at the bouncy castle itself, the kids would have lost time on their 30-minute or 1-hour slot. The wristband & socks are being given out or brought from the same shop selling the merchandise, AND it's only got one till. Airport check-in is faster 🥶 The site office didn't seem to be proactive at all despite being stationed beside the shop. Shame to ruin a great experience with a lack of planning.

Nice family outing for those with younger kids. We did go originally for the dinosaurs, which are quite cool, but the other attractions kept the kids entertained for longer. The dinosaurs are quite cool given their size and they have motion sensors to move and do sound effects as you pass. The circuit with the dinosaurs takes about 20 mins and the dinosaurs are fenced in so kids can't touch them. The Fairy Trail is quite short at the end of the dinosaur trail. Free attractions once you're in the park include a playground with Zipline, sandpit, a small go kart circuit and hourly talks on dinosaurs. Thankfully there was no gift shop to exit through but there is a small kiosk selling dinosaur gifts. There is another small kiosk with snacks but probably best to bring your own picnic and there is plenty of seating if you do.

We had a brilliant time we had 6 children in our party from 2 to 10 and they had a fantastic time. The dinosaurs were amazing. The ranger supervising the t rex ride was great answered all our kids dino questions without hesitation filled them full of knowledge he really was excellent. My only negative comment would be about the toilet facilities. Four porta loos really isnt enough for all the people that were there. We arrived at half past 11 and there was no toilet roll in any of the loos I asked for some and it was supplied very quickly however later on in the afternoon the smell was horrendous especially on a warm August day. From looking around it looks like a toilet block is being built and this can only make your facility even better. Otherwise definitely worth a visit.
