Jurassic Newpark is Ireland's only dinosaur theme park, set on the grounds of the Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny City. The park invites families to walk the Dino Trail and encounter 17 life-sized moving dinosaurs in an immersive prehistoric setting, before exploring a medieval castle playground, a fossil dig site, fairy village, and fairy trails. Jurassic Bounce, a 50-metre covered inflatable jump park, adds energetic fun for all ages, while the Jurassic Express train tours the park showcasing its prehistoric wonders. A live dinosaur show, pedal go-karts, a zipline, a hillside slide, and a mini wildlife farm with alpacas, emus, miniature donkeys, goats, deer, and rabbits provide further entertainment. The Jurassic Snack Shack and Dino Delights offer refreshments on site. Open year-round, Jurassic Newpark is a family-friendly attraction that blends imaginative adventure, outdoor play, and animal encounters in the heart of the Marble City.
