Emerald Park is set for an egg-stra special Easter celebration with a new family inspired event, Hop & Hunt, one of Ireland’s largest Easter Egg Hunts! Taking place from Wednesday, April 16th to Sunday, April 20th, this magical event promises family fun, adventure, and chocolate galore! Tickets are available now from emeraldpark.ie.
Located 20 minutes outside of Dublin in Ashbourne, Co. Meath an egg-citing adventure awaits at Ireland’s family-operated theme park and zoo with 10,000 chocolate Easter eggs up for grabs! Upon arrival collect your Hop & Hunt map before embarking on an unforgettable Easter inspired hunt through the Emerald Park Zoo and Junior Zone!
The Junior Zone and Zoo will be a hub of Easter excitement, featuring some of Emerald Park’s most beloved attractions along with decorative theming, creating the perfect Easter inspired day out. Little adventurers can enjoy classic favourites like the Junior Ferris Wheel, Ladybird Loop, Honey Pot Bears, Balloon Chase, and Dino Dash in between their egg-hunting escapades.
Each marked location on the Hop & Hunt map will feature an Easter themed character ready to help explorers stamp their maps when an egg is found. Once all the stamps are collected, guests will be rewarded with their very own delicious chocolate Easter egg, presented at the Emerald Park Chocolate Station, full of Easter treats and fun!
Entry to Hop & Hunt is included with all Emerald Park entry tickets from Wednesday, April 16th to Sunday, April 20th.
