    Outdoor fun for kids, teens, & adults.
    We had an amazing time with the zipline and especially the archery station. We arrived and received wonderful support from the front desk staff, especially Monique. The archery station attendant was wonderful and patient. My kids enjoyed the experience. It is a fun place and well maintained. Kayak, high ropes, so much to do. Wish we had more time here. Would definitely come back. Fun place to take in beautiful scenery, have time outdoors, and fun physical activities. Dogs were on leads; kids were having fun climbing and playing. We had a great time here. Only issue was reaching taxi back to the city but the front desk was very helpful. Spend the day here. Kids will thank you :)

    Active and entertaining day out
    Great day out at the park. We did the Octagon & Zipline package. The staff were very professional and friendly. They hooked us up to the harnesses and checked everyone was prepared and made us practice before we climbed on to the game. The Octagon was a workout trying to balance at a height. The zipline is great fun, I was nervous as I was due launch from drop off point, but the staff member was lovely, and she put me at ease. Once you get moving it is a thrill and over in a flash, but the views over the park as you move across it are beautiful. I can't wait to go back.

    The Skywalk is excellent
    My family completed the 2 hours Skywalk ovwe 3 levels. The cost was 25euro each. It was on the pricey side but well worth it in the end. They completed all 3 levels. They were so tired after it!! It is a very well run place and staff are trained to a very high level. Parking over 1 hour costs 4 euro. We will return.

When I got to the top to zipline I panicked with the height and nearly didn't go. The girl who was with us going off was absolutely wonderful with me and spoke to kindly to me. She advised getting into the sitting position and go off the ledge like that. She was so patient and so kind, and thanks to her I had the best experience!

Face your fears and you'll be so happy with this experience. We will definitely be returning!

Castlecomer Discovery Park was the best part of a short weekend break. From zipline to archery and canoeing, it really kept everyone excited and active. We will be back, starting early in the morning to enjoy all activities.

Absolutely amazing day in the Discovery Park.
There were 5 of us. 2 adults and 3 kids. We did the Zipline, Octagon, Tree top walk, Archery and Boating.
Throughout the day the staff were extremely helpful and informative and very very kind.

We also had a gorgeous lunch in the Jarrow Restaurant. Probably the nicest Cajun chicken burger I’ve ever eaten. The beetroot and haloumi salad is to die for 🤤🤤.

I would highly recommend the Park for a fab day out.
The staff, food and activities are amazing.

Hats off to you all for making one of the best days of our holidays.

A great day's fun with various activities for all age groups. Kids really enjoyed the zip wire, tree top walk and climbing wall. We also hired the paddle boats and had great fun on the lake. All staff were friendly and accommodating, its a great out door activity centre. Great place to enjoy even if not participating in activities. We can't wait to go back.

This place is terrible. I've never come across staff so rude and unprofessional in my life. I'm absolutely disgusted at the way in which my family and I were treated there today by a number of staff members. It was an awful experience and we are still in shock. I would not recommend this place to anyone. In fact anyone I speak to going forward I will advice them to go anywhere else.

We just had the best day in Castlecomer Discovery Park. The two 12 year old kids did the Zipwire, octagon as well as boating and archery. Our youngest (9) got the fear on the treetop high ropes and had to come down feeling very deflated. Lacking in confidence, he gave up archery quickly as he couldn’t get the hang of it. Haley, the instructor, quietly approached him and asked if he wanted a few pointers after the session and allowed him to play while she cleared up. She totally rebuilt his confidence and boosted him no end. Every other staff member we met were also friendly, helpful and encouraging. It’s a gorgeous setting. Lovely walks. We spent from 11am to 5pm there - loads to do and occupy us. Thumbs up all round from us. We will be back.

Great day at Castlecomer Discovery Park, we did the Octagon and Zipline. Octagon was so much fun and a little bit of a challenge. The Zipline is definite must with great views on the way down. The park grounds are also gorgeous for a walk around. We arrived late for our booking due to traffic, we missed out time slot for the octagon. The brilliant Niamh on reception was so friendly and was able to move things around for us so that we were able to take part in both activities. Great day all round and great staff.

My 10 yr old son declared our visit the highlight of his summer.
This is well worth a planned visit to. We travelled an hr and a half & will definitely do it again. We pre booked archery& loved it! 2 adults, 1 child & 2 teens. It was entertaining
& became a little competitive. We would love to do it again. We went on to do the pedal boats & had a blast!
Plenty of exercise, lots of fun!
My one critique is maybe consider free parking for people that are paying for activities.
