What’s Involved

The scavenger hunt is a self-guided activity designed for children. Each participant will receive a map and pencil, then set off to explore the courtyard and castle towers, following clues and completing  tasks along the way. Once they’ve completed the scavenger hunt, children can head to the Castle Café to claim their well-earned Easter Egg prize!

  • Book Online in Advance:
    A combo ticket is available for €16 per child, which includes standard child admission plus the scavenger hunt.

Please note: Each child must be accompanied by an adult with a regular admission ticket.
