Primary School Tour Adventure Days 2025
We look forward to welcoming your School for our School Tours for 2025! Our bookings are now open. You can book online (below) or email hello@cuskinnycourt.ie. Our typical school tour day includes 4 activities. The day starts from 9:45am until 1:50pm. Special packages can be developed to meet your particular needs.
Our School tours have a range of options for every school and every child. Our day includes:
• Staggered arrival & departure times
• Designated drop off / pick up area for parents / buses. This will be confirmed with the teacher booking each tour in relation to your own school requirements.
• Designated assembly / lunch area. Each School will be assigned their own covered group area as a base for the day. This area is solely for your school group so all of the students belongings can remain the for the day and is the base used by each school for breaks and lunch.
• Designated Teachers lounge area (complimentary tea / coffee / wifi provided)
• We strive to be inclusive in all of our activities. We also provide a quiet room and have art, lego and outdoor activities for children who may struggle staying with their group. We ask that you inform us in advance of any potential additional needs for any students in your group so we can prepare and cater for them on arrival. Our medical declaration form should include this information in advance of your booking date.

Important Activity Information:
Please find some important information on our activities:
-
Team Challenge Zone involves a water challenge. Participants will need a change of clothes. If you would prefer that the participants do not get wet, please let us know and we can remove the water element of this activity.
-
Grass sledging is suitable for children aged 12 and under, however, the grass sledges have a user size restriction, as the user is required to be able to pull two brake handles with both hands up past their hips. If the users hip width is greater than 31cm or 12inches, they will not be able to pull the brakes safely. If you estimate that a member of your group is above this size we recommend you do not partake in this activity to avoid excluding anyone from the activity.
-
Zipline and Climbling Wall are suitable for all ages, however, these activities carry a user size restriction of a maximum weight of 85kg or 13 stone. For the Zipline this is due to the height from the ground in the landing zone.
