Tayto Park re-opens for Easter with a host of egg-citing activities and Charles Coyle officially opens The Nissan Driving School at Tayto Park

On Saturday morning, Ireland’s favourite theme park and zoo, Tayto Park re-opened for Easter and hosted an exclusive launch of their latest attraction – The Nissan Driving School at Tayto Park. Tayto Park and Nissan have joined forces to open Ireland’s first ever driving school for kids which gives budding drivers the chance to learn the rules of the road and to test their driving skills on a purpose built, road marked traffic course before leaving with their own driving license*.

A host of families and kids enjoyed being the first to experience the new 1,000m2 track where they watched a short video demonstration at the new attraction’s Learning Theatre and learned the rules of the road before negotiating the traffic course. Young drivers who completed the course on the day picked up their very own driving license proving to their parents that they have what it takes to make the move from the back seat to the front seat!

In addition to the opening of The Nissan Driving School at Tayto Park, Tayto Park have put together some egg-citing activities for the little ones this Easter. Visit Tayto Park on Easter Sunday, April 1^st, for a crime scene investigators inspired event! Mr Tayto is looking for help from some detective’s this Easter to help him solve the mystery of ‘Who stole the egg’? Mr Tayto knows it was of the animals in the zoo – but he doesn’t know which one!

Kids will follow a series of clues to solve the mystery and will be in with a chance to receive an excellent reward!  Tayto Parks Easter egg hunt will run from 10am-4PM and kids will collect a detective I.D sheet upon entry and once complete can return it the crisp collection point to receive their exciting reward.

Older kids and adults looking for their next adrenaline rush can immerse themselves in a host of exhilarating activities too! Ride the Cú Chúlainn Coaster or take a splash on Ireland’s largest flume attraction, The Viking Voyage at the Park, or why not try your hand at rock climbing before taking a tour around the legendary Tayto crisp factory. Thrill seekers will enjoy the hair-raising Power Surge, Endeavour and Air Race.

Tayto Park also offers an exceptional and diverse animal collection which features many conservation dependent species. The zoo is home to a variety of animals, including big-cats, meerkats, monkeys and birds of prey.
