About Emerald Park

Formerly Tayto Park, Emerald Park near Ashbourne in County Meath bills itself as Ireland's only combined theme park and zoo, with more than 45 rides and attractions alongside a zoo collection of over 250 animals. Thrill-seekers can head for rides like Na Fianna Force and Balloon Chase, while younger children have their own Junior Zone (included on the discounted junior ticket, subject to height limits). The zoo side includes Lemur Woods, a petting farm, keeper Zoo Talks, and the dinosaur-themed Lost Valley area with Dino Dash. Live shows run throughout the day, and there's a full range of food, drink and shopping on site. Under-3s go in free, and there's a reduced-price ticket with free entry for an accompanying carer for visitors with additional needs. Booking online the day before a visit unlocks an "early bird" discount of up to 20% off the gate price, while same-day tickets are charged at the higher regular rate. As a member of Ireland's Ancient East, IAAPA and EAZA, the park positions itself as a full-day family outing rather than a quick stop, and also runs school tour and education packages for groups.
