About Tayto Castle Factory
Don’t be a couch potato, but instead visit some real potatoes. Take your bite-sized kids (5+) to the Tayto Factory Tour, and see how crisps get so golden, crunchy and tasty!
If all of the crisps produced in this factory were laid end-to-end they would cover a mind-boggling 19,000 miles. Come and see how one of Northern Ireland’s most popular crisp brands produces their crisps. Top tip: If your new potatoes are well behaved, they may be able to taste some.
At the end of the tour, every visitor will be given six bags of freshly made Tayto crisps, so there’s no need to bring a picnic. Enjoy a different, but entertaining day out that will leave your little ones amazed. They’ll soon be smiling again when they find a reminder of the trip in their packed lunch.
