Causey Farm
A 300-acre working farm in the Boyne Valley near Navan, Causey Farm swaps museum-style exhibits for genuine hands-on farm activities led by the same family that has run the land for generations. On family event days, such as their Easter, Halloween and Christmas experiences, kids get stuck into traditional Irish farm life: mixing and baking their own brown bread, learning a few steps of céilí dancing, having a go on the bodhrán, and meeting sheepdogs as they work the flock, alongside seasonal touches like the Halloween Pooka Spooka trail and springtime lambing activities. Everything is designed to be participatory rather than watched from behind a rope, so children leave having actually made something or tried a skill themselves. The farm is best known outside family season for its school tours and international group programmes, which follow the same hands-on format, meaning the activities on offer are well tested with large groups of children. Because most public access is tied to specific seasonal event days rather than daily general admission, it's worth checking their calendar before planning a visit, but for the days it runs, it offers a genuinely different, active alternative to a standard museum day out.

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.
