2. Tayto and Chocolate, Ashbourne, Co. Meath?Do we really need to say anymore? Tayto Park reopens its doors from the 18th, and lucky for us, it’s just in time for Easter. A scavenger hunt takes place on the 27th (this could get competitive), there’s face painting, animal feeding time (real animals, not the kids) and Easter-themed arts and crafts. Not to mention Ireland’s tallest roller coaster. This is a must for crisp, chocolate and adrenaline addicts. Today,?March 18-Sunday 27
