Active Kingdom School Tours take place in the state of the art Kerry Sports Academy in Tralee, Co Kerry. This facility boasts Kerry's largest sports hall allowing tours to go ahead in all weather conditions. Due to it's location just off the bypass it is ideally located for schools arriving from Cork and Limerick directions, and has ample bus parking.
Active Kingdom aims to provide a stress-free experience for teachers as much as possible. All teachers have access to a teacher’s lounge which boasts views of the outdoor playing areas along with offering teacher’s complimentary tea, coffee and sandwiches.
An excellent day from start to finish. No improvements needed. Great value for money. Thank you for a stress-free school tour is was very well organised, teachers and students enjoyed it. Will be returning hopefully!
Cappagh NS, Co Limerick.Can’t think of any way to improve a brilliant school tour for children or teachers. Full day is great value. All the children were delighted with the day, they couldn’t pick what was the best. The group leaders were professional and interacted well with the children. A great day from start to finish.
Patrickswell NS, Limerick.Fantastic day. Children and adults really enjoyed it. Very good value. Love this tour, have booked it the last 4 years.
Scoil Mhuire Killorglin, Kerry.This tour is top class, very inclusive for all. I would highly recommend it to my colleagues and friends. The tour is extremely good value, very manageable for parents. We’ve come from near Charleville, Co Cork and even when factoring in the bus cost, the day is still very worthwhile. I have a group that came here 2 years ago, they were expecting a fun day but were so thrilled and excited to find brand new inflatables and new activities like the ‘escape room’. Well done on keeping it fresh and interesting each time we visit.
Shandrum NS, Newtownshandrum, Cork.Everything was excellent, excellent value for money. A fantastic and relaxing day for both students and teachers. Very well run from start to finish. Would recommend to any school. Everything was excellent.
Scoil Abán Naofa, Baile an Mhuire, Cork.Heard about you through word of mouth. Very good value for money. Great day had by all (including the teachers!!). Best organized school tour I’ve ever brought my class to and I’ve been teaching since 1983!! Will highly recommend it to my colleagues.
Presentation Primary Tralee, Kerry.All aspects of this tour were excellent. We heard about Active Kingdom through word of mouth from other schools. It was fantastic value. I would like to thank you for sharing your experience with all of us, for being so kind and caring. We will be back!
Knocknagree NS, Cork.The children really enjoyed their day here, camp leaders were excellent and very child friendly. Brilliant teacher facilities and refreshments. Excellent and enjoyable facilities and activities for all age groups and abilities.
Kildysart, Clare.On behalf of our school we would like to thank everyone at Active Kingdom for a wonderful day. From the moment we were met off the bus, the children were so well taken care of and engaged fully in all of the activities. The leaders were excellent, and the teachers’ lounge was superb! We would highly recommend it to other schools.
Presentation Monastery NS Killarney, Kerry.No improvements necessary. Very good value. From a teacher’s perspective it was a very well-organised day. The children were happy and safe all day and had great fun.
Christ the Saviour NS Ballingarry, Limerick.We have been in Active Kingdom 3 times and it has always been a fantastic experience! We were all very well looked after. Children enjoyed the activities.
Glounaguillagh NS, Kerry.Do the teachers need to stay with the students?
No, our specially trained leaders meet you and your group at the start of the day, and they bring them through all of the activities. Teachers are free to stay with the group or relax in the teachers’ lounge upstairs. Teachers are requested to supervise children during break times.
Do the kids need to bring a lunch? Is there a shop there?
Yes, kids need to bring a packed lunch, there is no shop nearby, there is a vending machine but stock is limited.
How long are the breaks for kids?
The kids get a 20-minute small break in the morning and 30-minute lunch break. If required, our leaders bring the group in for sporadic water breaks throughout the day.
Is the full day too long for infant classes?
No, we tailor the day for the younger kids by integrating some more sedentary sessions into their timetable. Younger kids also get a number of short water breaks supervised by their leader throughout the day.
What way are the kids split on the day?
Kids will stay with their class group for the duration of the day, generally each classroom within the school is allocated their own leader.
Will our kids be with another school on the day?
No, kids stay with their own school class group. There may be other school groups in the center on the same day, but groups have little to no interaction with the other school groups.
Do activities take place indoors or outdoors?
What happens when it rains?
All of our inflatable activities take place indoors in a large sports hall while our team building, and orienteering sessions take place outdoors on secure grounds. In the case of bad weather all activities take place indoors.
Do the kids need to bring spare clothes?
No, the kids’ clothes should not get wet or dirty as we bring them indoors if it rains. However, it is advisable that kids bring a coat and a spare pair of shoes and socks just in case they get wet.
What times can we start and finish our School Tour?
If you book a full day school tour, your start and finish time is up to you, but it cannot be before 9:30am and no later than 3:30pm. If you book a half-day school tour, the morning session runs from 9:30am-12:30pm, and the afternoon sessions runs from 1:00-3:30pm.
What other attractions do you offer in your Best of Both School Tour?
In our Best of Both School Tours schools can attend out School Tour for half a day and do two of our inflatable activities and two of our team building activities. They will spend the other half of the day visiting another one of the local School Tour attractions such as The Aquadome, Tralee Bay Wetlands, Crag Cave, Kerry County Museum, The Playdium and others. What's more this Best of Both School Tour often costs just as much as our own full day School Tour and we look after the booking of the other attraction for you. Just ask our staff for options.
