Our story
We opened FunWorks in Arklow because we wanted a space that was loud with laughter, easy to book, and somewhere parents actually want to stay.
We saw a need for a proper play space in Arklow. As parents ourselves, we wanted somewhere that was fun, safe, and comfortable for adults too.
We opened with one clear goal: make active play easy for families. Clear pricing, friendly staff, and a venue designed for kids and welcoming for grown-ups. Since day one, thousands of families have walked through our doors and we're as excited as ever to welcome the next visit.
