Best Things To Do & Days Out In Dublin, County Dublin
Bring history to life for all the family as you explore all the great things to do in Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland!
Transport yourself back in time as you storm the 13th century castle or the formidable St Patrick’s Cathedral founded in 1191, then explore all the main sites of the land and water on a Viking Splash Tour; just remember your helmet and cape!
Culture and history go hand in hand during this Dublin family day out. What it lacks in size The National Leprechaun Museum more than makes up for in personality; take a tour with your own small people and learn all about Irish folklore and mythology before entering Dublinia, a fantastic, interactive museum packed full of three floors of Viking, Medieval and historical fun!
The Little Museum is where you can immerse yourself into the Dublin of the past through a range of family friendly activities, guaranteed to appeal to all ages!
Animal lovers will be thrilled with a trip to the largest zoo in Ireland, where over 400 species make up an unforgettable wildlife experience. Spot sea lions and flamingos in a place where education and conservation go together like Oreos and milk.
Finally head to Phoenix Park, which covers 1752 hectares and is one of the largest recreational spaces in any European capital, and let the children run free!
