Young children in Dublin - any recommendations?

[jamtastic]

Hi, we are in Dublin next month for a few days with 3 and 5yr old ds. Can anyone recommend any good playparks, adventure playgrounds, soft play, dinosaur museums etc?

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Bump anyone?

There's a playground and nice park at St. Steven's green in the centre.

could get DART out to Howth (nice harbour) or Dun Laoghaire (beach)

Oh there is also a big toy shop in the centre called Smyths. It's OK but a bit toys r us ish.

Thanks for your reply. We're staying in Dun Leoghaire, I didn't realise there was a beach! Any soft play that you know of? Thanks.

New soft play opened near greystones called zoom adventure play ,they have a web site, good for grown ups too they have comfy sofas and good coffee.

Hi, hope I'm not too late but we went to Newbridge House which has a really good outdoors park. I also took my 4 & 6 year olds to the National Aquatic Centre which they still talk about 6 months on!
