Funderland, anyone going?

HooterSnout

I went to it last year and it was a bit of fun. I'm not sure if it's more expensive this year or not. I usually can't remember what I ate yesterday but it does seem more pricey to what we paid last time.

The Marquee, beside The Showgrounds, Balintemple, Cork. (adjacent to Pairc Ui Chaoimh) will once again play host to Funderland Cork

Date - 15th of April to 2nd of May
Opening Timing - 2pm - 10pm
Wristbands Sessions - 2pm to 6pm and 6pm to 10pm
Prices of :
Regular Wristbands - €19.95
Junior Wristbands - €12.95
Family Wristbands - €59.95
Groups 12 or more - €17.95

I'll be going tomorrow with the missus and some friends. Maybe some of you want to join us to get a wristband a whole 2 euro cheaper . Break away once inside and do your own thing then or whatever.

do you have to buy a wristband to gain entry? Just that I was thinking of taking my daughter but she's quite young and would only be interested in a few of the smaller rides and I'd be just going as a parent, no intention of going on anything.
Is there an entry fee?

From what I remember they charge you 1/2 euro at the gate and then if you don't get a wrist band you can pay per ride (usually 2.50 / 3 / 5 euro depending on the ride)...more expensive without the band but obviously not worth getting in your daughters case.

Website is https://www.funderland.com/cork.php maybe e-mail / call them to check? Hope she has a blast!

Edit - Their FAQ section answers your question:

What other method of payment can I use at Funderland?
A. You can either opt to Pay As You Go, simply pay the admission cost of €2 and then pay for the individual attraction(s) of your choice, or purchase an unlimited ride wristband.

How old is your daughter? I thought the same last year when I brought my nieces who were 5 and in the end I spent about 10e and they still wanted to go on more rides so I ended up buying them the wristbands.
Maybe pay the euro and have a look, see what she can go on and work out how much you will end up paying, then get the wrist band if it is cheaper.

I LOVE Funderland, cannot wait to go. I go about 4 times every year, bringing various nieces and nephews, OH, friends etc. LOVE IT :D

Me too. There was a good bit there even for young kids. I definitely spent near enough, if not more than, what the wristband costs.

What kind of age bracket would you say it's suitable for? Is there anything for kids around 4-5y.o.?

A few small things. The rest with the usual height restrictions.
Is it worth the money for them at their age? Dunno.
Funderland is never cheap I find no matter what age the kids.
