A 350-hectare lakeside estate in the heart of Ireland's Hidden Heartlands, where 19th-century servants' tunnels lead up to a treetop canopy walk and a five-storey viewing tower. Free to explore on foot; the adventures inside cost extra.
A self-guided route through the 19th-century underground tunnels, up the refurbished five-storey Moylurg viewing tower and along the 300m Tree Canopy Walk, which rises 9m into the treetops over the lake. Adults €10, children 5-17 €5, under-5s free. Dogs are not allowed on this tour.
An indoor questing challenge from Sweden: 15 themed quests across up to 47 rooms with no instructions and no clues. Teams of 3-5, ages 7 and up; under-9s need an adult inside the quests. Pre-booking is essential.
An outdoor play area for children up to 12 with climbing, balancing and interactive features. €5 per child for an all-day pass, or €3.50 per child for groups of 10 or more.
Trails are graded multi-access, easy, moderate and strenuous, and roughly 8km is traffic-free and ideal for children learning to cycle. The Miners Way historical trail also passes through the park.
