THE GIANT SLIDE

The Treetop Walk in Avondale is home to Ireland’s longest slide.

A 90 meter slide inside the tower brings an extra layer of adrenaline to your visit. A slide from the top of the tower can shorten your journey down and provide a very special experience.

ENQUIRE

Collect Your Mat

Collect your mat at the base of the slide on the 2nd level of the tower and bring it to the top with you – there may be a wait to enter the slide at busy times.

Weather

In case of poor weather conditions (rain, snowfall, high humidity, etc.), the slide can close for periods of time. You can get up-to-date information about the operation of the slide at the ticket office when entering and along the Treetop Walk.

Great Experience. My wife and I came here in mid August and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful views and in educational signs throughout added to the experience. Definitely suitable for all ages. A tour of Avondale House was also available but we didn't bother with it so can't comment. My one criticism is that we wouldn't have found the place without our SatNav. We did not see a single sign on the roads to direct us. Otherwise a great trip.

Why I recommend the Avondale treewalk I would do recommend it for family fun. If you like exploring and learning about history well this'll be the place. You can also learn different names of birds and get amazing pictures too. They also have a gift shop and the staff there are really sweet. They have an amazing café with a slushy machine and it's our friendly.
