Emerald Park – Ireland’s leading theme park & zoo

Emerald Park, located in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East, is Ireland’s only combined theme park and zoo – offering a full day of fun for the entire family.

From thrill-seeking rollercoasters like the Cú Chulainn Coaster and the new Tír na nÓg experiences, to gentler attractions for younger visitors, there is something for every age and adventure level. Families can explore playgrounds, enjoy live shows, take a train ride, or discover the zoo, home to over 250 animals including big cats, birds of prey, and more.

For younger guests, highlights include Dino Dash and the junior adventure areas, while adrenaline seekers can enjoy world-class rides reaching speeds of up to 90km/h.

To make the most of your visit, we recommend midweek stays where possible to enjoy shorter queues and quieter park days.
