Carlow's big blue barn is an indoor soft-play centre for ages 0-12, built around a 4-floor play frame with a 7-metre spiral slide, separate toddler zones and party rooms on the Dublin Road.
The core attraction is a multi-level indoor play frame with a 7-metre spiral slide, a 4-lane astra slide, a steeper challenge slide, rope bridges, ball pools and farm-animal sound play. The centre is ROSPA inspected and approved.
A dedicated area for under-5s includes plenty to keep little ones amused, plus a separate enclosed zone designed to stimulate under-2s.
Tuesday 10am-12pm is pre-school time: little ones get priority on the equipment and the entry price (about EUR 5) includes a tea or coffee for the parent.
Two party rooms come with a dedicated party host who handles the running of the event. Packages start around EUR 10 per child (minimum 8 children) and can include food, drink, party bags, pinatas or face painting; you bring your own cake and they cut it for you.
While the kids play, adults can get a big breakfast, light lunch, pizza, coffee or a sweet treat from the on-site café.
The play area suits organised trips: school tours, toddler and play groups can get special group discounts, and there are loyalty discounts for repeat bookings.
