Something for everyone …

Dublin Zoo

Dublin Zoo is inviting families to make the most of the Easter break with The Great Penguin Eggventure, a new interactive trail with clues and a prize to win a lifetime pass, running daily until April 12. Volunteers will also host Nest Fest, a series of conservation activities celebrating penguins where visitors can get hands-on experience with eggs of various shapes and sizes. From daily keeper talks and animal encounters, plus optional add-ons like the Egg-citing Dino Workshop with the Nutty Professor, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. @dublinzoo_official

Dream Point Dublin

The €3 million ‘world of dreams’ in Dublin’s Docklands has undergone its most ambitious transformation to date, reimagining the entire 21,000 sq ft venue as a multi-room experience inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Following its success at Kunstkraftwerk in Germany is a 20 minute 360° projection show where cinematic visuals and sounds transform the space into a surrealist’s fantasy. There’s also The Cheshire Cat Balloon Room, a Giant Pocket Watch above Ireland’s largest ball-pit, and illusions in The Mad Tea Table and The Falling Tree. Alice After Dark is an over 18s experience on Friday evenings where guests can enjoy a drink as they explore. @dreampointexperience

Luggwoods Dublin

A refreshed, 90-minute dog-friendly Enchanted Forest journey at its much loved South Dublin location, meet a host of charming woodland characters who share clues to help the Egg Professor crack the code to win a golden ticket. Hop onboard the Eggspress Train to the Easter Village, where children will be greeted by the Easter Bunny at his burrow and receive a chocolate egg. Explore the mini farm, or ride on the tea cups or ponies at an additional cost, until April 6. @luggwoods

Butlers Chocolate Factory

Visit the home of the yummy bunny at the Butlers Chocolate Experience at Clonshaugh where you can journey through the magic of a real life chocolate factory and learn the history of chocolate through a short film in the chocolate museum. Step into the shoes of the Easter Bunny in the demonstration room and decorate your very own chocolate egg to take home. Take part in an extraordinary Easter egg hunt after each tour, with lots of chocolate eggs to be discovered. @butlersthefactorytour

National Museums of Ireland

Hop into history at the National Museums of Ireland to explore the Easter Trail until April 12. Solve riddles, find artefacts and learn about the eggs-cellent Museum collections at Collins Barracks. This free self-guided family challenge is packed with brain teasers, while there are also archaeology digs at Kildare St and craft workshops at Turlough Park in Mayo. Refuel with a treat at Synge & Byrne in the courtyard café – the perfect way to round off an Easter visit. @nationalmuseumofireland
