Really quite a nice park with charcoal grills for use. Charcoal and lighters are sold at an onsite snack bar / coffee shop which also has two souvenir machines (one selling “medallions” for 2 euro and another for pressing pennies). Be aware that you will need to drive a fairly narrow two-way road from the front gate to the parking lot. The admission for two adults was 15 euro which seemed steep at first but I think that you could definitely get your value out of it for a group grillout. There is also a waterfall.
A Must-Visit Natural Wonder in Wicklow! Powerscourt Waterfall is an absolutely breathtaking spot and easily one of the highlights of a trip to Wicklow. Nestled within a beautiful woodland setting, the waterfall stands tall and majestic, cascading down gracefully with a soothing roar that you can hear before you even see it. It’s Ireland’s highest waterfall, and standing at the base really gives you a sense of its scale and power. The surrounding parkland is just as captivating — lush greenery, ancient trees, and plenty of open space to explore or simply relax with a picnic. It’s an ideal place for families, couples, or anyone just wanting a peaceful escape into nature. The atmosphere is incredibly calm, with plenty of walking trails and spots to enjoy the fresh air. Another bonus is how well-maintained the facilities are. There’s good parking, picnic areas, and amenities, which makes the whole visit smooth and comfortable without taking away from the natural charm. Overall, Powerscourt Waterfall is a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility. Whether you’re visiting the Powerscourt Estate or driving through Wicklow, this spot is simply unmissable. A true gem of Ireland!
• 🌊 Height: At 121 meters (398 ft), it’s the tallest waterfall in Ireland. • 🌲 Scenery: Surrounded by ancient oak, beech, larch, and pine trees, it feels like stepping into a fairytale forest. • 🦌 Wildlife: The area is home to red squirrels, fallow deer, and a variety of bird species. • 🎒 Activities: Great for walking, picnics, or just relaxing with the sound of rushing water. Families often visit with children, and it’s also a favorite spot for photographers. • 💡 Tip: The waterfall is within the Powerscourt Estate but has a separate entrance and admission fee. It’s best visited on a clear day to enjoy the views, and mornings are quieter if you want to avoid crowds.
It's suitable for picnics with many people and a good place for children to play. There are ice cream, hot dogs, French fries and other fast food. There are plenty of parking spaces. It's a good place to take pictures of waterfalls and play in the water. However, the mobile phone signal is weak after entering the mountainous area, so it is recommended to download an offline map!
We had the most wonderful day at Powerscourt Waterfall! It’s an absolutely stunning location and perfectly set up for a fantastic family outing. First off, the practicalities: Yes, there is an entry ticket to get in, but it is well worth the fee for access to such a beautiful and well-maintained area. There is plenty of car parking available close to the main picnic spots, which is very convenient. Clean toilet facilities are also on-site, which is always a bonus. The waterfall itself is the main event, and it is truly breathtaking. As Ireland's highest waterfall, it's an incredibly impressive sight cascading down the rocks, and it provides a fantastic backdrop for the whole area. What makes this place a 5-star destination for us are the brilliant family-friendly facilities. The kids absolutely loved the play area and had a great time running around. Best of all, this is the perfect spot for a barbecue! There are lots of open, grassy areas where you can set up for the day, and many families were enjoying a full cookout, which created a really lovely, relaxed atmosphere. A top-tier attraction for a brilliant day out in nature. Highly recommended!
Great experience! Beautiful views and so fun!
Clay was an excellent tour guide, and more importantly an even better pilot. It was a beautiful outing. Absolutely recommend, and will book again when back in Portland.
