About

When I was a young spud, fresh out of the ground, I always dreamt of one day opening my very own park; full of all of my favourite things, good craic, good grub, adventure, nature, animals, a few surprises and of course… you, the Tayto eaters of this great Nation! So says Mr Tayto of Tayto crisps.Tayto Park is an amusement park in Ashbourne County Meath.
