The Ark Puddenhill
Review
The Boyne Valley may be renowned for its historical appeal to an older audience, but I've discovered a fantastic attraction that caters perfectly to younger visitors, The Ark at Puddenhill in Co. Meath. This venue offers a wonderful combination of indoor and outdoor play areas, ensuring that children are hugely entertained no matter the weather. The petting zoo adds an extra layer of fun, allowing kids to interact with animals up close. While the little ones are busy exploring, parents can indulge in some competitive fun at the 'Archery Range.' It’s a unique opportunity for mums and dads to join in on the adventure while the kids enjoy themselves. A visit to The Ark is a day of wholesome, innocent fun for the entire family, making it one of the best choices for younger families exploring the Boyne Valley region. I highly recommend it for a joyful and memorable family outing!
