Room to climb, slide, kick and tumble.

The café

They'll need a drink after all that. So will you.

The tables sit right beside the frames, so you can keep an eye on them from your seat. Tea, coffee, lattes and Slush Puppies at the counter.

Our story

Twenty years of first slides.

Pirates Den was founded in 2006 when Ray and his wife Barbara saw that there were very few options for kids’ entertainment in Dundalk.

Having 4 young kids themselves they understood the never-ending task of trying to keep young kids entertained and they decided to take a chance and set up Pirates Den.

20 long years since then Pirates Den has become part of the community in Dundalk. It has seen many smiles, heard many laughs, and helped to create some amazing memories for both kids and parents.

At Pirates Den, we are proud to be part of a community. Creating a space for kids to laugh, run, smile, and make memories has always been our vision.

We thank you for all your support over the years and look forward to creating many more memories together.
