‘Cosmos at the Castle' will take you on a mind expanding, interactive tour of the universe using large cinema screens and individual touch screens.

The Comet Chaser game enables you to save Blackrock castle from a comet, learn all about research techniques and space missions, and earn points while you save the earth!
A free Open night is held on the first Friday of every month from 6pm, and offers a great opportunity for family fun, with a number of workshops and activities to take part in. There is so much going on here, it is definitely worth checking online before you visit to see what's on.
“Behind the scenes' dungeon and turret tours take place at set times and help you discover the 400 year history of this castle, from its origins as a river fortification, to its present role as a watchtower of the skies! A number of space themed Birthday party packages are available too.
