Lough Key Forest Park & Activity Park
.................................................................................................................................................

This legendary backdrop of water, parkland and forest now encompasses a landmark cluster of unique attractions offering gentle leisurely pursuits of energetic activities . The Lough Key Experience is an engaging audio tour of the history and nature of the Park through the 19th Century underground servant’s tunnels, up the 5-storey Moylurg Viewing Tower and along Ireland’s first Tree Canopy Walk - a 300m long creation of timber and steel that gently rises 9m above the woodland floor offering a ‘birds eye’ view of the landscape. The innovative and weather independent Boda Borg is a unique and challenging Swedish Adventure House for adults and children alike containing numerous rooms with fun-filled activities and imaginative puzzles but no instructions! Once you enter the challenging two storey Boda Borg only teamwork using countless different skills, ingenuity, trial and error will allow you to progress from room to room. Our outdoor Adventure Play Kingdom provides stimulating and entertaining activities and equipment for children of all ages and abilities in a colorful and safe environment. The 350-Hectare estate also contains many walks and trails through the woodlands and forests, bog garden and 19th century parkland with its majestic trees, follies, bridges and canals.
