After a few months of being kept in the Adventure City vault, the Gyroscope made its triumphant return over the Easter break, much to the delight of countless boys and girls. We got caught up in the excitement ourselves and threw together this video to show the Gyroscope in action:



Kids must be at least five years of age to ride on the gyroscope, and the height restrictions are strictly enforced.

Tickets cost €3 per turn.

The Facebook page will be used to keep in touch with customers, answering any questions that arise, and giving updates about the latest news and events.

Those who endeavour to click the ‘thumbs up’ button will be rewarded for their time, as we will be rolling out exclusive offers (and some goofy incentives) to our Facebook fans.

To get the ball rolling, we will be giving free family passes to the first 5 customers to publish a review of our facility. That entitles the bearer to four child-entries and two hot beverages for the adults! Of course, any blatantly cynical-attempts to cash in on this offer won’t qualify.

For just €16 a head, your party guests will get 30 minutes of free play (important so those late arrivers don't miss the first half), followed by a refereed game of soccer with exclusive use of the pitch in Delta Adventure City's indoor-soccer court or outdoor astro-turf pitch (weather permitting).

At the end of the first half, the teams will be served refreshments, given a quick pep talk, and at full time, a penalty shoot-out will take place!

At the end of the 90 minute play session, the kids will be brought into a private party room for 30 minutes and served the food from the Premium Party Package, which includes:

  • Chicken goujons
  • Cocktail sausages
  • French fries
  • Orange & Blackcurrant Squash
  • Sweets & Crisps (served with your birthday cake, if you choose to bring one)
  • A goodie bag with novelty toys, crisps and sweets!
