An all-indoors family entertainment centre in Drogheda, County Louth, that packs a water park, fairground rides, bowling, laser tag and more under one roof - a useful option regardless of Irish weather. The centrepiece is Pirate's Cove Waterpark, with three slides and over 200 water-based play features. Elsewhere in the building there's a full bowling alley, an Aftermath Arena for laser tag, an arcade, a soft play area for younger children, crazy golf, and a climbing zone with the Ultimate Skyclimb, a climbing wall, a free-fall slide and a zipline. Fairground-style rides include bumper cars, a Gyro Loop, a Ferris wheel and several kiddie rides such as the Convoy and Eureka Flying Cars. Food is covered by an on-site restaurant and Ellie's Ice Cream. Pricing is broken down attraction by attraction rather than one flat entry fee, so a visit can be tailored (and costed) around whichever combination of waterpark, bowling, laser tag or rides a family wants. An off-peak weekday waterpark rate offers a cheaper way in during quieter hours. Funtasia also runs birthday party packages and a loyalty card/app for regular visitors.
