How about visiting a haunted house in Ireland? That’s the promise of “The Nightmare Realm”, a multi-award-winning attraction! Its aim: to terrify you, and give you an experience that will leave you shaking with fear! This attraction offers you the chance to visit houses located in the Kerry region of Cork, but also on the Dublin side.

The program changes every year. The Nightmare Realm offers a constantly changing range of attractions. Different places, different shows… and always with more imagination!

The concept is simple: we take you to a spooky location (usually a haunted house), specially prepared for the occasion. We leave you to witness nightmarish phenomena. Half immersed in darkness, you’ll witness ghostly apparitions, the presence of monstrous men and women (made-up for the occasion), torture scenes (of course, all played by actors)…

You’ll be invited to summon spirits, walk through haunted labyrinths, see your evil double in a mirror, enter dark rooms where strange things happen…

You may be invited to sit in a coffin…

In short: experience horror and the paranormal! All under the supervision of a team that masters the show to perfection!

It’s a great event, especially at Halloween time. But beware: this experience is not for everyone. We recommend it above all to horror movie fans, and to brave souls who like to be scared! Because here, everything is done to plunge you into an oppressive and frightening atmosphere!

The Nightmare Realm is an award-winning experience.

So what are you waiting for? Gather your friends and book online: tickets start at €25 per person!

If you like scares, they draw haunted themes and labyrinths, characters reflected in the most famous rooms and houses.

You’ll find all the details and dates on the attraction’s website!
