Atlantic Edge Exhibition
ATLANTIC EDGE is the exciting interpretive centre at the Cliffs of Moher New Visitor Experience. Housed at the centre of the underground building a huge domed cave contains images, exhibits, displays & experiences that will delight young and old alike.
Visitors enter via a viewing ramp which provides access for all to the main dome. You will walk on water as you enter and follow the birds feet from there.
The dome is organised into four principal themed areas exploring different elements of the mighty Cliffs of Moher:
OCEAN,
ROCK,
NATURE and
MAN.
A selection of interactive exhibits & displays shows aspects of these themes and their connection with the Cliffs. An aerial tour entitled
THE CLARE JOURNEY will appear on a central screen.
The tour continues from the central dome via a winding tunnel that evokes the many caves of the area to a theatre housing a virtual reality cliff face adventure -
THE LEDGE.
A temporary exhibit of JP Hollands Boat 1 is on display in Atlantic Edge until December 2008. JP Holland is the inventor of the Submarine and hailed from Liscannor the nearest village to the Cliffs of Moher. This is the first ever model of the Submarine and is on loan from Patterson Museum, New Jersey, USA.
Last entry to Atlantic Edge will be half an hour prior to the closing of the visitor centre building.
