About

A pirate-themed family entertainment complex in Courtown Harbour, Co. Wexford, packed with Ireland's largest adventure golf course, bowling, arcades and water rides — all a short stroll from the beach.

Things to Do

Adventure Golf

An 18-hole pirate-themed course billed as Ireland's largest, winding past tropical gardens, waterfalls, caves and a full-size ship. Putters and balls are included, and a round takes roughly 45–60 minutes; ponchos are handed out if it rains.

Bumper Boats

Splash across the lagoon past waterfalls and tropical planting in a two-person bumper boat, life jackets and a supervisor provided. Each ride lasts about 10 minutes and suits kids and adults alike.

Bubble Rollers

Climb inside a giant see-through bubble and roll across the water. Supervised, and aimed at younger adventurers aged roughly 6 to 16; each roll lasts 5–7 minutes.

Mini Jeeps

Little pirates pick a coloured jeep and drive a safe, supervised track with music playing. Twin seaters mean a parent can ride along; each spin lasts about 8 minutes.

Bowling

Six high-speed ten-pin lanes with computer scoring, plus lighter balls, ramps and bumpers for children from age three up. Lanes hold up to six players and can be booked by the half-hour or hour.

BYOB Bowling (adults)

Fridays to Sundays, 6pm to 9pm, adults can bring their own drinks for a lane of their own (18+ with ID, pre-booking required). Ice buckets, platters and pizzas can be arranged in advance.

Games Arcade

Over 50 games, from air hockey and skeeball to claw machines and pirate cannons. Many games spit out tickets you swap for prizes at the treasure counter, and a change machine turns notes or cards into €1 coins.

Pirate Splat Shooting & Express Train

The wooded arena hosts a 45-minute group blaster battle (min 10, max 20 people, hot food included). In July and August the Pirates Express Train runs a 10-minute round trip along Courtown seafront, with a free 99 ice cream on every ticket.
