Things to do in Dublin with a 7 year old DS and a 4 year old DD

[hippipotami]

We are coming to Dublin for a weekend in a few weeks time.

Are hoping to visit Dublin castle, and DH said something about a boat trip (what? where?) but what else can you recommend?

Thanks in advance

we went on the viking tour its fab you wear viking helmets and roar at people as you pass (some people nearly jump out of their skin) then it goes in the liffy and turns into a boat

hobbycraft is cool loads of playmobile to play with

we went to a circus in swords (not far from dublin) it had elephants, lions, horses the kids loved it

Hi,
Viking splash tour - good fun , and you've heard of it already !...

Dublinia is an indoor viking interactive exhibition thingy,It's beside christchurch cathedraland supposed to be good- authentic smells etc !

The zoo is lovely this time of year , it's in the phoenix park - short bus ride or walk from city centre.

National aquatic centre , a taxi ride away - water slides, big pools etc ....

stephens green , feed the ducks while mum shops on grafton street ....

Enjoy !
