Barry's Amusements

The mother of all amusement parks in Ireland, Barry's opened in the late 1930s. Remarkably, the center retains much of its original character. The Ghost Train still trundles through its swinging leather doors into the terrifying dark and the unknown. Teenagers pile into the bumper cars, screaming as they bash into each other. Some of the money games have survived too. You can drop a ten pence piece down into a push drawer painfully close to spilling a waterfall of coins down into the box below. There are plenty of new rides and attractions here too, including Ireland's largest big dipper.
