Smurf lovers are invited to enjoy a Smurf-tastic day out in Ireland at a new attraction.

The Smurfs Village opened to visitors over the weekend in Co Wicklow, located at Beyond the Trees Avondale.

Organisers say 'blue magic' is used to shrink guests to Smurf size before they cross rickety bridges and pledge their own acts of kindness via the magical wishing tree. 

From planting sunflowers and learning about bees to crafting custom Smurf hats and discovering their official Smurf names, organisers say families will be immersed in a joyful, eco-friendly adventure.

The first visitors to the new attraction at the weekend wrapped up their day with laughter, games, and a dazzling Smurf show, complete with a photo moment alongside their favourite Smurf characters.

The Smurfs Village is now open and welcoming families, birthday groups, school tours and more, with activities designed for children aged 3–12. Tickets are from €19.99, with a family pass for five people priced from €99 and there is parking for up to 1,000 cars.

It is a fully accessible venue, but the event itself is not buggy-friendly. All events are held indoors, so they are not weather-dependent. There is a café/restaurant on-site but visitors are also welcome to pack a picnic.
