Dream Point, a family-focused immersive attraction on North Wall Quay in Dublin, has announced it will stop trading, saying the decision was made “with a heavy heart.” The closure, revealed in a social media statement, has prompted an outpouring of disappointment from visitors who used the venue for parties and family outings.
Closure confirmed by operators
The company behind the project, Theatre of Light Limited, posted on Facebook that it has “made the decision to cease trading.” The message thanked “customers, suppliers, employees, partners and supporters” for their backing over the years, and repeated the announcement with a note added that it was shared “with a heavy heart.”

The post did not give a final closing date for the venue.
What Dream Point offered families
Opened in 2025, Dream Point marketed itself as a pioneering “visual experience” across a 1,950-square-metre site. The project reportedly cost around €3 million and was constructed largely out of public view over several months.
Visitors enjoyed interactive rooms, a glowing corridor and a ball pit, plus an on-site café serving food and snacks. The space was fully accessible, operated six days a week, and hosted themed events — including an Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter’s Tea Party — and private bookings such as birthday celebrations.
Reaction from visitors
Responses under the closure announcement ranged from shock to sadness. Many thanked staff for the experience and said they would miss the attraction.
Examples posted by visitors included: “So glad I brought my little one here last year. It was a great place, sorry to see it go,” and “We went yesterday and my children had an amazing time.” Another comment asked: “It’s such a fun experience why are you closing it? Such a disappointment.”
Comments on the original post have since been disabled.
For Dublin families who used the venue for outings and parties, the closure removes a recent, high-profile option for interactive entertainment in the city centre.
