Full Description

Navan Centre & Fort is a lovely family day out with Iron Age stories, legends and the landscape around Emain Macha. Whether you are planning a full adventure or just looking for something different to do with the wee ones, there is plenty here to enjoy.

Explore the interpretation centre before heading outside to see the historic setting. Children can imagine warriors, queens and ancient communities as you bring the stories of Ulster to life. The mix of indoor discovery and outdoor space makes this a great introduction to history without expecting wee ones to spend the whole visit reading displays.

It is the sort of outing where taking your time makes all the difference. Let the children lead the exploring, stop when something catches their eye and enjoy making a few family memories together.

What You'll Find

Families can discover the story of Navan Fort through exhibitions, interpretation and the surrounding archaeological landscape. Programmed experiences and events can add living-history elements at different times of year.
