The Newpark Hotel is a fantastic four-star hotel in the heart of County Kilkenny. Boasting an incredible 40 acres of parkland, luxury accommodation, and friendly Irish hospitality, the hotel is a popular choice for those visiting the area.
Now, the brand new Jurassic parkland on the hotel’s estate will make it the perfect destination for an exciting family getaway.
General Manager Paul Beehan said he was “delighted” to announce the hotel’s latest venture. He explained that the idea came from a “successful venture into paleo genetic engineering, a little skill we picked up during lockdown.”
A one-of-a-kind exhibition – nothing else like it in Ireland
The Jurassic Newpark Farm and Adventure Trail will feature a range of life-size robotic dinosaurs. Each robot will be fenced inside paddocks similar to those seen in the iconic Jurassic Park movies.
The €250,000 exhibition offers a range of accessible trails linking the various paddocks. Park Rangers will also be stationed around the trail to offer information about the different species on display.
Jurassic Newpark will not only bring a new tourist attraction to the area. Rather, the project is also expected to create several new jobs.

Bookings are open from today, 27 July and can be made at JurassicNewpark.com. Hotel guests can visit the exciting new attraction for free, while tickets for the general public cost €11 pp.
Children aged two and under can visit for free, and various family packages are also available.
