Dundrum Town Centre Announces Outdoor Summer Experience

Dundrum Town Centre has launched its Deep Sea Dundrum, a family-friendly outdoor activation that aims to educate all ages on ways in which we can help preserve the environment and protect all its species.

What Dundrum’s new centre will offer

People visiting Dundrum Town Centre during this July will be encouraged to join Captain Bart Bear and his crew on their Eco-Adventure around the centre. With Deep Sea Dundrum characters and sea creature structures available at each stop on the outdoor sustainable trail.

Children and adults will have the opportunity to learn fun facts and tips for living a more environmentally conscious life, while also learning about the amazing measures Dundrum Town Centre have taken to become a more sustainable destination. Visitors to the centre will also be able to immerse themselves in the installation as the centre has engaged world-renowned Marine biologist and owner of Seahorse Aquariums, Kealan Doyle, and his colleague Eimear Manning, Environmental Education & Youth Coordinator for ECO-UNESCO for educational talks across the month of July.

On Saturday 3rd and 31st as well as Saturday 14th August between 12 pm and 3 pm, Kealan and Eimear will be hosting fun and interesting educational talks on marine life, the nature of the deep sea how to sustain it. Families will also be able to get the chance to get up close and personal with real-life Irish bred sea creatures such as Sea horses, Clownfish, Starfish and Hermit crabs.

While visiting the installation, families will also learn a plethora of facts like the following, litter and rubbish making their way into waterways and damaging sea life. Almost all of the water in the world (97%) is saltwater and undrinkable, and how bad bread is for ducks and that you should feed them lettuce, different facts and interesting notes like this will permeate the experience.

Deep-Sea Dundrum is the ultimate family day out this summer, combining educational and interactive activities that all ages can enjoy, in a safe environment. Visitors will also have the opportunity to relax on Pembroke Square and Town Square where there is ample outdoor seating available to enjoy take away food from a wide range of restaurants, including a new addition on Pembroke Square, Griolladh.

We have extensive measures in place at Dundrum Town Centre to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience with us. With thanks to Marine Biologist Kealan Doyle, who has a wealth of knowledge to share, children and adults will have the opportunity to learn some really interesting facts and easy measures they can put in place to implement a more sustainable way of life.”
