The Ark
Dublin, County DublinAbout The Ark
The Ark creates original cultural programmes for children in a purpose built venue in the heart of Dublin.

Most of their events are age specific, because children's interests and skills develop with age, and because children generally benefit more from participating in cultural activity with other children of their own age. They ask all visitors to respect the designated age range when booking. Events are not suitable for any children under the recommended age group.
