Imaginosity Interactive Exhibits

Kid’s Stage

Play acting and acting out is an important part of childhood. It is natural for children, particularly the under tens to invent stories and perform them, quite un-self consciously. So the Kids Stage at Imaginosity provides all that they need to make this acting out even more fun. There are a myriad of props to use. There are costumes to dress up in and make up to complete the ‘look’. Lighting and changing scenery give many children their first taste of ‘theatre’. There is the opportunity to experiment with both formally directed theatre and improvisation.

Imaginosity Newsdesk

Budding reporters and weather presenters get the opportunity to experience how it feels to broadcast to the nation at Imaginosity’s News and Weather Station. With their special reporter’s jacket and microphones they can put together the latest news stories to be shown on the TV monitors.

Or for those who prefer to organise from behind the scenes, operate the camera and ensure you get the best from the presenters. Just like a real TV studio!

The Climber

Children’s natural spirit of adventure and exploration is exercised at Imaginosity’s Climber. This play area spans two floors at the centre of the museum and is a colourful maze of worlds and activities. Crawling, climbing and stretching are all needed in the Climber, and ideal for your child’s growing and development.

The children can explore ‘Out of this World’ and blast off into space. They can go on the Ship and keep watch out through the porthole. The underwater world offers sea creatures to explore and a mermaid to find. On dry land, go into the woods and spot the woodland animals hidden in the undergrowth. Or imagine yourself in your favourite fairy take in the Castle Turret.

The Climber provides an ideal venue for climbing, planning and strategising and of course unlimited fun.

Imaginosity Construction Company

The Construction Company at Imaginosity is at the cutting edge of environmentally friendly building and design. So kids will learn important lessons about solar power and energy conservation while building and creating. From brick-laying to plumbing, junior builders will have a ball at the Construction Company.

Imaginosity Events and Workshops on Every Day for Kids

But the more artistic are also catered for. Budding interior designers can paint the walls on one of three houses or put up some special magnetic wallpaper.

Tir na nOg and Little Me

Specially designed for the youngest visitors to Imaginosity, Tir na nOg allows children under 3 their own space in which they can explore their world. There is an apple tree from which to gather apples in your basket or pop into a special chute and make them disappear. There are farm animals to pet and hear what sounds they make.

The Little Me area is dedicated to the very youngest visitors, those who are not yet walking. They are invited to crawl over various soft surfaces, watch the changing lights in the light column or sit and watch the fish in the floor level aquarium.

Created to nurture and develop motor skills and confidence, this space allows the youngest kids the opportunity of sensory exploration and problem solving.

Imaginosity Dublin – Town Centre

Let your child experience all the elements that make up a typical Irish community. The market offers the chance to be a baker, butcher or check-out operator. And while they play they learn about the journey our food makes from farm to table.

The ‘An Post’ Post Office, allows children to understand the world of snail mail including weighing and distribution of parcels. There is even the opportunity to design their own stamp!

The Dublin Diner is a must for a quick bite. Or play the part of a celebrity chef preparing the food.

The fun just does not stop – the Town Centre also has a library corner for some quiet down time or a special garage where children can put a car through its NCT or take a spin in the fabulous Bumblebee Car.

Imaginosity School Tours

Primary School, Montessori School, Creche and Playgroup Visits

At Imaginosity, they welcome and encourage visits from primary schools, Montessori schools, playgroups and creches, all year round. They offer different rates and packages for self-guided visits throughout the 2.5 floors of exhibits which are educationally designed to inspire life-long learning through play, igniting imaginations on the journey from curiosity to discovery.

As children play, they learn. Imaginosity has carefully designed environments that inspire children’s learning. The three principles governing their education and design philosophy are; an appreciation of children’s play behaviuor, a knowledge of how an environment can influence play and learnimg , and an understanding of children’s developmental milestones.

Afternoon visit times are available upon request. Tuesday – Friday: 9.30 am-11.30 am or 11.30 am – 1.30 pm. They also do lunch options for your school trip.
