I must be crazy, a day shy of 39 weeks but we couldn’t resist continuing our Adventures of Eire with a little trip to Fort Lucan Outdoor Adventureland before Little Miss arrives. It’s been years since I last visited, probably on my 5th of 6th class school tour and it hasn’t changed one bit. It’s still as fun as ever!
Fort Lucan is full of hidden towers, slides, suspension bridges, zip lines, trampolines, 40ft high walk-walks and they even have their own wooden maze.
There are three water slides with a one-metre height restriction. Two of them are massive, with twists, bends, and huge drops.
They have two Go-Kart tracks, one for big kids and one for the little ones.
There is also a Viking-themed Crazy Golf, it’s very medieval. At first, I thought they were a little over-cautious with the helmets until a ball nearly knocked me out. It’s crazy golf kids, not ice hockey!
For the babogs, there’s a ‘Mini Fort Lucan’ full of wooden climbing frames, slides, swings, aerial runways and a huge sand pit – although not enough spades and buckets for the size of it. Frankie or should I say Cranky-Frankie was wiped with the heat so he spent most of the day here exploring and hiding from the sun in the sheltered forts.
Fort Lucan is fully supervised and they don’t tolerate any misbehaviour. In total the day cost us €23 admission and €3 for a ticket for Joe for one of the waterslides. We spent a total of four hours exploring the outdoor adventure park and Kayla gave her approval and has requested a return visit – minus the bump.
I’d highly recommend bringing a picnic especially if you’re trying to stick to a budget. There’s only chips, nuggets and sausages or sandwiches available from the café along with the usual sweet treat and a hot drink. There’s plenty of greenery and benches to avail of if you do choose to bring your own food along, although I’d advise arriving early to get a good spot. Bring spares clothes, sun cream, comfy old shoes and a wetsuit for the kids if you have one.
Fort Lucan is free for, under 2’s, adults are €4 each (includes a complimentary tea or coffee) and children are €11.50. For unlimited access to all rides, you must purchase an additional €8.50 wristband. It’s well worth buying the wristband as the bigger kids will most likely spend their day on the water slides.

I think I may have gone here as a child – if it’s the right place it was absolutely amazing back then, didn’t think it would still be there! Definitely putting it on the to do list for when mister gets a bit older!
Lisa it will bring back so many memories, you’ll love it never mind the little lad lol.
Looks like you had a wonderful day! I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with baby no 2, I hope I am as active and going on fun days out like you at 39 weeks. I think you should take a well earned rest now 🙂 Xx
Oh I sure am, I’m exhausted now at 39+3 it helps me sleep at night if I keep so active during the day otherwise I’m counting sheep till morning. Best of Luck with your pregnancy 🙂
This looks like such a fun place to visit! I am glad you didn’t go down the slides at 39 weeks pregnant. 🙂 Not long now. How exciting!
Oh I was tempted, must say I was very jealous in the background watching them all run riot!
that looks like one great play park. Love a go on the slide lol
Looks like a great day out, my boys would love the water slides. Thanks for linking up to #PickNMix
