Families looking for a frightfully great escape this Halloween need look no further than the four-star Midlands Park Hotel in the heart of Portlaoise. Conveniently located less than a five-minute walk from Portlaoise Train Station, only an hour from Dublin and 90 minutes from Cork, the hotel is an ideal base for autumn adventures.
This mid–term, Midlands Park Hotel is offering great-value Halloween Family Fun Activity Breaks, now available with an extra 10% discount, with overnight packages from €242 for two adults and one child, €280 for two adults and two children, and €327 for two adults and three children*.
Younger guests are welcomed with hot chocolate on arrival before the family settles into one of the hotel’s spacious family rooms, available in a range of layouts to suit up to two adults and three children (up to age 16). That evening, the whole family will enjoy a four-course dinner together, followed the next morning by a hearty full Irish or continental breakfast to set them up for a fun day ahead.
The package also includes a Family Activity Pass to one of a variety of local attractions: Discover games, activities and spooky surprises at the Japanese Gardens & Irish National Stud; explore Birr Castle’s stunning grounds and follow its Halloween Pumpkin Trail; visit Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park, transformed into a Spooky Wonderland complete haunted train rides, spooky forest trails, and a special Halloween treasure hunt; or enjoy an hour of bowling or soft play at the nearby Roll ‘n Bowl entertainment centre.
For those eager to explore even further, Laois offers a host of family-friendly attractions which you can choose to book separately. Highlights include: The Maize Maze at Dealgrove Farm, a brand new outdoor adventure centre on a real working farm; Fossey Mountain Springs Ranch, an attraction that brings the Wild West to Timahoe with trail riding, archery, roping, and horseshoe and hatchet throwing; Castleview Open Farm with its pumpkin carving and spooky surprises; and Castlecomer Discovery Park for terrifying thrills in a magical woodland setting.
On-site, all guests enjoy complimentary access to the Midlands Park Health & Fitness Club, which features a 22-metre swimming pool, children’s pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and a fully equipped gym. Families can also opt for a cosy movie night with snacks in the hotel’s Kids Room (adult supervision required).
For adults in search of a little R&R, there’s also the option to add extras like a beauty or spa treatment at Midlands Park Spa & Beauty, which offers a full range of beauty and pampering treatments as well as a relaxation suite.
With so much to do both on-site and nearby, one night may not be enough. Two-night breaks are also available starting at €404 for two adults and one child, €457 for two adults and two children, and €529 for two adults and three children*.
