Want to go to Ireland with your family? Would you like to see your little ones frolic across the Irish moors and listen to traditional music in the pub? No problem: Ireland is the perfect destination for your children! It has to be said that the island abounds in possibilities and attractions of all kinds. Whether you’re into museums, ruined castles, guided tours or other excursions, you’ll be able to enjoy this experience together, with fun and conviviality! Need more information? We’ll tell you all about it!
If there’s one advantage to traveling to Ireland, it’s its wild landscapes and extraordinary nature! In general, children love to explore the island: with its beaches, mountains and wide-open spaces, it’s a safe bet that they won’t get bored! Especially with the country’s countless ruined castles, as well as its prehistoric megaliths: dolmens, stone circles, cairns… There’s plenty to impress them with!
Don’t miss the chance to visit mythical places like Connemara, the Cliffs of Moher, the Giant’s Causeway…etc. These places are sure to please adults and children alike, with their unique shows!
Finally, there are plenty of sporting activities for the whole family to enjoy: boat trips, swimming on the beach (preferably in summer), hiking, fishing, surfing, rafting… There’s something for everyone!
In Ireland, fun is fun! And the island’s major cities are specialists in this field! That’s why we recommend the Viking Splash Tour in Dublin (an amphibious bus excursion, where you dress up like a Viking), or the Dublin Ghost Tour (another 100% spooky excursion to discover the city while shivering with fear! preferably for teenagers). Preferably for teenagers).
Dublin, Cork, Galway, Belfast and many other cities also boast a number of fascinating museums, which have totally revamped their exhibits to captivate the whole family! Interactive screens, videos, re-enactments with live characters… It’s all about capturing children’s attention, and leaving them with a head full of good times.
It’s also worth noting that Irish pubs can accept under-age children during the day… as long as you ask permission beforehand! Whether your children are teenagers or toddlers, they are generally accepted, and will be able to listen to traditional music groups. Please note, however, that children are asked to leave the premises after 9 p.m.: a rule that Irish pubs don’t play around with…
Of course, your children may be reluctant to swallow an Irish stew or enjoy a platter of Galway oysters. But rest assured, Ireland is a true specialist in fish and chips, burgers, boxty, Bangers and mashed potato (a sausage and mashed potato dish), and other simple, appetizing dishes.
Irish food is tasty and constantly reinventing itself. It also maintains a close link with finger food and junk food. The country’s many fast-food outlets and takeaways are a case in point!
Rest assured, there’s more than enough choice when it comes to accommodation in Ireland. And it’s all a question of desire, but also of budget. Here are the possibilities, ranked from least to most expensive:
