7 things you’ll know that will happen when you go to Tayto Park

Since its beginning back in 2010, it's safe to say that Tayto Park has been our answer to a theme park in Ireland.

With an actual rollercoaster (yes, we finally have one!), to a deadly little zoo, we have great craic every time we head down to Meath to check it out.

Here, we count down the top 7 things you know that will happen when you go to Tayto Park for the day:

7. Getting lost when trying to find the Tayto factory

One of the best attractions at Tayto Park is getting to see the crisps actually being made.

And it'll feel like you're following the yellow brick road when trying to find the factory… but seeing our fave snacks in production is pretty cool.

 

6. The Twisted Chip

When you first walk into Tayto Park you see everyone walking around with one of these twisted Tayto crisps.

This turns into a quest to find the Twisted Chip restaurant… and it doesn't disappoint. YUM.

5. Cú Chulainn Coaster

Being Europe’s largest wooden rollercoaster with an inversion, everyone flocks to this the moment they arrive in the park.

That turns into riding it multiple times throughout the day, and it gets better each and every time.

 

4. The 5D cinema

You don't realise how good this is until you're actually sitting in the cinema.

And with water splashing, wind blowing and your seat moving, it's totally not what you would expect.

 

3. The zipline

This is certainly one for all ages, but not for the faint-hearted!

Once you're up the top of the climbing wall, you can see the whole of Tayto Park, and then the rush of the zipline ride will blow you away.

 

2. The Lodge restaurant

After seeing all of the animals and going on all of the attractions, it's fair to say you're just dying for a feed.

And The Lodge gives you a cavery meal option, as well as loads of healthy snacks – what more could you want?

 

1. The MEERKATS

Right beside the Twisted Chip hut is where the meerkats live and they're possibly the coolest animals ever.

Sit back, enjoy a twisted chip, and watch the meerkats at the end of an action-packed day. Perfection.
