Incredibly engaging for all the kids and the adults. Spent 6hrs and still have more to see and do. While we were there, kids kept saying how much fun it was and changing what their favourite activity or exhibit was. Staff were all super and great with the kids and explaining different tasks or suggesting what to check out. Highly recommend going!

The cost is reasonably reasonable... 5Euro per child for 1 hours bouncing, jumping and sliding. The zorbing and boating involves an extra 3 euro a pop and a bit of queuing, junior thought it worthwhile. Parents go free but it is frowned upon if they actually use the facilities (there isn't a sign specifically saying "no short, fat, balding men allowed on the bouncy castle", but it is implied).

My companion here suggested that the Pirate Village should have an 'Adult Only' session after the…read morekids go home... bringing me to my only gripe with this place- that the grown-ups can't go on any of the cool stuff! Apart from that however, this is an unusual and entertaining way to amuse younger children for an hour or so. Conveniently located in Dundrum town centre, it costs €5 per child, with its adult(s) going free. A session is about an hour long. So, you enter into a 'pirate village' themed maze of bouncy castles, little slides, giant slides, boat-bumpers etc, etc... with staff members shouting, 'Arr me hearties!!...' The kids go demented. Now, if you could just lock them all in for an hour and come back afterwards... A point to note is that some of the things have a 5-10 minute queue and a few extra quid surcharge. We brought my three year old godson, who loved it, despite getting trampled on in the various bouncy castles by some bigger kids. He went on the smaller slide about 20 times, a boat ride (didn't want to get out of it!), and the giant slide, which he really enjoyed despite finding the 5 minute queue a little frustrating. Bribed by chocolate to get back into his buggy at the end, he then collapsed in an exhausted heap (could I jump up and down for an hour? Doubt it!) and we returned him to his mother, who'd had a coffee and stroll around the shops unencumbered by a hyper child. Then we went for a well-earned and much-needed pint round the corner.

I brought my niece and nephew (five year old twins!) here a few weeks ago. I was not too sure what…read moreto expect but I had heard good things about the place and it seemed like a good idea for occupying two energetic children for two hours on a rainy day! The building looks amazing from the outside, very impressive architecture and its distinctiveness is reflected inside the building once you enter. It cost us €34 for two five year olds and two adults which I thought was a bit much, I didn't expect the adult and child price to be the same. Adults are encouraged to go in and play with their children which is great but there are attendants walking around keeping an eye on the children also (for when you want a rest!). The "museum" is laid out in different areas, there is a kitchen, a construction area, a TV studio, an art room and lots more... running through the centre of the building is a climbing frame which was the biggest attraction for my niece and nephew, it certainly provided exercise for the parents that were running up and down the stairs trying to keep track of their climbing kids! The boy and girl I brought also loved dressing up in the TV studio area, they even got their faces painted after a bit of a wait. Although there were lots of children in the building I never felt that any one area was too crowded which was good, although there were queues for things such as the face painting. There is an area that is provided for babies but in my opinion the section is very sparse and did not have anything that would entertain a very young child for very long. I only saw one baby there during my visit and he didn't look too happy! I don't think that Imaginosity would hold the interest of older children either, I think a child over the age of eight or so would get bored fairly quickly because these days children I know above the age of eight are not as interested in "playing house" or "make believe" and that is what Imaginosity is all about. There is a restaurant where you can get some refreshments but I found it to be very expensive, if I were to go again I would definitely bring my own drinks and snacks for the children. All in all it is an entertaining place for children (it even disguises a bit of education in fun), it is unique and I do not know of any other place like it in Dublin. In my opinion it is suitable for children between the ages of three and eight but outside of these ages you are wasting your money. Also I would maximise the value for my money by only having one adult for a group of children rather than an adult per child like we did. Oh, and don't wear heels!

Absolutely scandalous that the difference in price between a one year old who is walking compared…read moreto a one year old who isn't walking is 5 euro. It's 2 euro for a child who isn't walking, and seven euro for a child who is? Tell me how that makes any sense? On top of that, you are not allowed bring in any food or drink from outside, yet they charge close to 3 euro for a scone. There is no one monitoring the areas to ensure the children are age appropriate and so the one year old accompanying me was bombarded my big 3- 5 year olds in a space that said under 3 only. Not worth the money.

As she walked up the stairs the air was pleasantly scented and filled with music from Frozen. As she entered the parlour itself she was greeted by three staff who treated her throughout the experience like she was the only girl who ever had a birthday. Star of the show. Yet - they made sure every child got all the treats and services Jaime got in due course. She and her pals were treated to an extensive wardrobe of princess outfits to try on. They has their nails done, their hair done, their make up... They were especially good in making sure all the shy and quiet kids were never left out and were occupied. Then there was the movie frozen on DVD, and all kinds of music from the movie to which they played games. The food was great, there was a popcorn stand, a sweet stand.. Like you'd see at a fair. The place itself was decked out like a princess beauty parlour. Lots of pink from the curtains to the rugs and soft lighting. They only take one party at a time and so there's no conveyor belt treatment. For the time you are there your little one is royalty. I can't pay enough respect to the staff. Simply amazing and were very accommodating when twice the crowd we expected showed up. We walked away with a very happy little girl with memories that will last forever. Her friends are still talking about it and my little boy wants his party there when he turns 3 (they do pirate parties too!) Great job girls. Wonderful place. Simply wonderful.

Firstly, they take care of everything : food, cake, party bags, all things you need to provide at most all other places. Truthfully, the only thing I had to do was send invitations. The girls are super friendly and attentive to all the little princesses every need. When you first walk in its like a pink explosion...pink everywhere , it even smelled of strawberries! They do the girls hair/nails/makeup & they can dress up. They have a pink bouncy castle & house. They had a bag of dolls for them to play with while a Barbie movie played in the background. They tables were all decorated in pink, with loads of beads for jewellery making & at another table were princess pages for colouring. They made each girl feel special especially if your a birthday girl. At the end the girls put on a fashion show. They fed the girls the typical party food all kids eat, then a tea party with little fairy cakes & sweets. They provide the birthday cake for the grand finale. The two hours fly by in a blink of an eye. The girls had the best time & I would completely recommend this place for anyone with a little girl for a party!!!
