Answer 1

You should go on the Viking boat tour of Dublin like that other guy said, it's great. You get to yell at pedestrians and everything. Also a little outside of Dublin is wicklow county jail, it's a museum of sorts now. that pretty family oriented, some stuff might scary very little kid but I don't think so. You could go to the chimney viewing tower which has a great view of the city but if anyones afraid of heights they shouldn't go up. For any sport people in your group there's the Gaelic Athletic Association Museum in Dublin. Also go to one of the beaches facing the Irish sea, or you could take a fairy ride to wale which I would recommend but if your staying in Ireland that's fine, but most good family things are outside of Dublin, I went to all these places when I was 13, so they should be up your alley.

Answer 2

Well I Live in Dublin. Most Of the amusing things for children would be outside Dublin Like Funtasia in Bettystown(Meath) or Funtasia Drogheda.

and Newbridge farm.

Those are great places for kids.

Fortunately for you the weather is gorgeous at the moment over here and Dublin has a few beaches like Sandymount and Bull Island.

Kilmainham(Kill-Main-Em) Jail Is Good for history and fun.

Dun Laorigh(Pronounced. Done-Lear-E) Is great for walks.

and the National Aquatic Centre is fun for all ages.

Dublin City Centre Is Good for tourists with museums, Shops Parks.

St.Stephens Green is a great shopping centre.

Well That is basically it really, I hope that helped and I really Hope you enjoy Dublin's fair city!

Edit: I Think Katie L means a Ferry Ride To Wales.

not to get the kid's hopes up there are no fairies that can carry you across the water. the fairies have all gone to furtaventura for the summer.

Answer 3

I'd really recommend you go on the Viking Splash trail.  You drive around Dublin in a truck come boat.  Loads of active participation while you learn about Dublin's Viking history.

I Hope you have a good three weeks!

Answer 4

Dublin city: the Zoo, the National Gallery (phone and ask them if they have children's projects), Kilmainham Jail, the Irish Museum of Modern art nearby, and see what festivals are on locally, in Dun Laoghaire ('Leery') is the festival of world cultures and that's supposed to be good.

Take the train to Bray and to the seaside.

Go to Dollymount strand and way up on the north end of the island there you'll find seals, make sure the children understand that they should keep their distance. There are bull seals and these can be very dangerous if provoked. I've seen kite-flying on Dollymount strand too.

Go out to Newgrange, that's a day trip out of the city.

Before Newgrange, take them to the National Museum, it's near Heuston Station on the LUAS (tram service).

Don't forget, ask them what they'd like. You can organise it so that everyone gets to pick something for everyone to do, so you all have something planned for 5 days. You get to choose a day too, remember!

Get those older kids online, and investigating what's on offer.

Answer 5

no worries... you don't have to stay in dublin do you?

i went to ireland when i was 10... we traveled around the country to see relatives, landmarks and lots of beautiful scenery... if you can, staying in a thatched cottage is TONS of fun

you can also go to different islands and kilmanem (sp?) jail

just get a tourism book... there's plenty to do
