Eco-park to create a splash with safari-style boat rides

Visitors to a new €4.5 million nature facility in Kerry will be able to enjoy safari-style boat rides through wetlands.

The rides will be among the attractions in an eco-park due to open in Tralee in March, aimed at luring nature-loving tourists to the region.

The project, jointly funded by Tralee Town Council and Failte Ireland, will also add to Tralee’s visitor attractions and is being developed on a site close to the town’s Aquadome, an indoor water leisure facility.
