The theme park and zoo set in Ashbourne, Co. Meath is already one of the most popular things to do in Ireland.

Tayto Park Theme Park & Zoo offers over 100 attractions in the theme park & zoo and also has a fantastic outdoor playground as well as being a great place for a picnic although really good home-cooked food is served in the restaurant.

However, they refuse to sit still and continue to expand every year by offering visitors more things to do on a fun-filled family day out in Meath.

The new theme park attraction will be a Viking-themed flume ride. It is already under construction and will be open in just a few months.

Founder Ray Coyle said: “We are delighted to announce our new and exciting attraction 'The Viking Voyage at the Park'. We are dedicated to bringing cutting-edge attractions to Tayto Park and this particular ride is one of a kind. We are very excited to unveil it to the public in the coming months."

With 1.7 million litres of water, a Viking village, five replica Viking ships and 20 life-size Vikings, the latest addition to Ireland’s favourite theme park and zoo is set to be a huge favourite with families looking to cool down on a hot summers day.

Tayto Park is scheduled to reopen for its seventh season just before Easter on April 7th.
