About

A long-running indoor kids' play centre in Dundalk with a famous big blue slide, a ball volcano and a dedicated toddler zone — a solid rainy-day option for families with young children.

Things to Do

Main play frame

Kids race down the famous big blue slide, dive into the ball volcano and burn off energy in the multi-level play structure. Equipment is designed for ages 4–10, and adults are not permitted on the frame.

Main play frame

Toddler area

A separate area is designed for children under 3. On Parent and Toddler Mornings (Wednesdays, 10:30–12:00 during school terms, €6 per child) parents are allowed into the frame with their little ones and get a free tea or coffee.

Toddler area

Football skills zone

Alongside the slides and ball play, there is space to showcase football skills — part of the mix that makes the centre popular for parties and casual visits alike.

Kids' parties

Party packages are a big part of the offer: weekend parties €18 per child, midweek from €17, and a Friday Night Disco Party (18:30–20:30) at €19 per child. Book in advance and notify any change in numbers at least 24 hours ahead.

Group and school tours

Custom group packages start at €7 per child and school-tour packages at €10 per child; call 042 9327454 to arrange.

Café for parents

Settle in with a tea, coffee or latte (pre-pay from €2.80 to save 5%) or a Slush Puppy (€1.50 pre-pay) while the kids play. Only food and drink bought on the premises may be consumed.
