Emerald Park, Ireland’s only theme park and zoo, is gearing up for a frightfully fun Halloween season with the return of its popular Tricky Trail Halloween treasure hunt — running for eleven spook-filled days from Saturday, 11th October to Thursday, 31st October.

Located in Ashbourne, County Meath, just a two-hour drive from Ballymena, Emerald Park promises an unforgettable day of Halloween adventure designed especially for families and children of all ages.

From spooky storytelling and magical performances to mad experiments and friendly frights, the Tricky Trail offers a perfect blend of fun and Halloween mischief. Families can now book their tickets at www.emeraldpark.ie.

A Spooktacular Adventure Awaits

Upon arrival, guests receive a Tricky Trail map to guide them through a Halloween quest filled with hidden clues and lost items scattered throughout the park.

Young explorers will step through the Ghoulish Graveyard to collect their first clue before encountering the eccentric Mad Professor Oswald’s Lab, where wild experiments are sure to entertain.

The adventure continues through the Freaky Forest, decorated with wicked witch hats and inhabited by mischievous characters, before reaching the enchanting Gothic Gardens, home to Petunia the Pixie.

Visitors can also explore Helga’s chaotic house, spooky saloons, a haunted castle, and even a pirate ship before completing their quest and collecting their ultimate trick-or-treat bag.

Entry to the Tricky Trail is included free with all Emerald Park entry tickets on selected dates — 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 25th–31st October. Families can also unlock up to 20% off with Early Bird tickets booked online before midnight the night before their visit.
