  • Some comments from recent Creche/School Tours to Mellowes


    “What a wonderful day we had on our school tour to Mellowes Adventure centre. Activities for kids were fantastic and well organised. Our school tour was a very relaxing and enjoyable day for School Teachers. Refreshments greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Mellowes Adventure provides fantastic facilities for a school tour. Highly recommended. Will encourage other schools to choose mellowes for their school tours. Certificates and finger prints are a wonderful idea”
    St Joseph’s National School. Kingscourt, Co. Cavan. 19th May 2011

    “Perfect venue for school tours for junior and senior infants. Really well organised and safe. Great variety of activities to suit everyone. Bouncy Castles, Playground and Pedal Cars a big hit. Lots to learn about animals and really good eco garden and planting. We could have stayed far longer. Our staff really appreciated lunch and the fact that they could relax and keep an eye on everyone at the same time. A really good value school tour and also just the right distance from Dublin - we will definitely be back. Hopefully in the same kind of weather! Many thanks to all for a fun, active and stress free school tour”.
    Castleknock National School

    “Excellent, excellent place for children. Plenty to do and very educational for the children and the parents will have a very relaxed day out also.
    I would totally recommend anyone to pay Mellowes Adventure Centre a visit. If it is raining or sunny an enjoyable day will be had by all. It is the first visit for our group and we will be back again. Staff very friendly. Parents loved the tea and coffee and home made brown bread. Plenty to do and a great variety. The children enjoyed their visit very much.

    “Thank you so much for a fantastic time. The kids were so excited and were so looking forward. We were nervous maybe Mellowes wouldn’t match their excitement levels but what a surprise they just loved it. The staff are fantastic and the facilities are perfect - safe and clean. Very well organised and enough to keep everyone happy in all weathers. Congratulations on a great facility. We need more of these around Ireland. Would definitely recommend for parties and school tours”.
