Dream Point in Dublin's Dockland's now open - but it's only for a limited time
A massive 'dream land' has opened in Dublin's docklands, but it won't be around for long. Dream Point opened its doors on April 28, and advertises itself as Ireland's first purpose-built, multi-room immersive 'world of dreams'. Suitable for all ages, the immersive experience is currently set to run for the next six months. Spanning 21,000 square feet, €3m was invested in the project that aims to spark creativity, joy and wonder for guests. It features a balloon room, a ball pit room, a photo opportunity room, and a glow corridor where visitors can use a torch to create glowing trails of light on the walls. Children and adults can also alter their reality in the inflatable forest, where they can wander through the huge 10-foot, touch-sensitive inflatables that light up and change colour at every touch. For the artists, the draw alive room brings children's imaginations to life. Here, they can draw a picture of one of their favourite animals, submit it to a machine and watch it come to life on a gigantic projection wall before them. Irish brothers Dan and John Gleeson - who previously brought The Van Gogh and FRIENDS Experience to Dublin- say it's a must-visit destination in the capital this summer. Dan said: 'This is more than just a new attraction — it's a whole new category of experience. "We've travelled the world to bring the best of immersive exhibitions back to Dublin, and Dream Point is our own dream brought to life. Every room is designed to spark creativity and connection, and we are so proud to open our doors to the public today (Wednesday).' Dream Point operates in timed 90-minute sessions, six days a week (closed Tuesdays), for a six-month run, starting April 28. Adult tickets start from €18.80, children's tickets from €14.60, and children under the age of two can attend free of charge. Tickets can be bought at at
