WELCOME TO DISCOVERY WONDERLAND

A magical world of play, imagination and connection.

Discovery Wonderland is created for hotels, event venues, shopping centres, local authorities, community organisations, workplaces, restaurants and businesses that want to offer families something genuinely meaningful this Christmas.

Whether you are planning a festive event, family day, Christmas market, community celebration or seasonal experience for customers or employees, we adapt the play experience to your space, audience and event. It gives children somewhere designed for them (not simply something to watch) while helping families stay longer, connect more deeply and leave with positive memories of your organisation.

A festive play experience for children aged 0-10 and their families, filled with creativity, sensory exploration, imaginative play and opportunities to make special memories together.

A calmer winter play experience thoughtfully designed for neurodivergent children aged 0-10 and their families. With carefully considered sensory activities, smaller groups where appropriate and spaces for regulation and retreat, children can explore and engage at their own pace.

FEEDBACK

"The children had an absolute ball and that is at the end of the day what it is all about. Thank you again so much, your team are amazing and ye are always top of my list as I know I can rely on every member of your team to go above and beyond, as they all clearly love what they do. They are absolutely professional, yet you can also see it is not about the money but about the joy they bring and the fun they have doing their job."

"It was such a lovely event, and Lorna and Sinéad were phenomenal, I cannot praise them highly enough! They were just perfect for that particular event/venue, they went with the flow, were so relaxed and approachable, and the children and their parents responded so well to them."

"Just wanted to say a huge thanks for today! The kids had such a great time at the Messy Play workshop, there was something for everyone and they responded so well to the child-led nature of the activity! Sarah was great and worked so well with all the kids. Some of the activities she brought were a HUGE hit with the kids, so much so that I might ask where you actually purchased them from!"
