Best to do thhis on a sunny day to get the most out of it. To complete the hike up over and down takes around 3 and half hours, can be a bit dangerous bit of climbing involved would advise to bring proper hiking boots or runners. Also bring water and food with you. Once you reach the top the views are amazing if your bringing kids i would advise not to climb fully up over and down as concentration is required. U can bring kids to the lake there thou.

We travelled today from Enniscorthy. Three mothers and 7 children ranging from 5 to 9. From the beginning I was very impressed. As a primary school teacher I'm well used to facilities like this from numerous school tours throughout the years. The place was spotless and very spacious. We'd booked laser tag and the climbing wall. All kids loved the laser tag had 2x 10 mins sessions which they adored. All except the younger two took part in wall climbing. The manager was very thorough, careful and encouraging to the 5 children. Two of the group were very capable and he set them challenges which they thrived upon. The children really enjoyed the last few hours in the play area . It was clean and comfortable. Coffee was good too. Staff especially Eilish were helpful and friendly . There's a small playground close to car park which was lovely for a breath of fresh air after several hours of indoor fun. I'm definitely recommending this spot and will be back next year.
