Dublin is a lovely city, we were on a family trip a few months ago and had a great time. Travel to Dublin with children It is an option that offers us multiple possibilities to enjoy with the family. And, if we have more time to move around the rest of Ireland, they will be delighted with the landscapes, their castles ...
Let's stay in Dublin with children, a city quite comfortable to travel, not excessively large, ideal for walking or using public transport, as well as tourist buses that will take us to the most interesting places without effort.
Visits with children in Dublin
We stayed three or four days in Dublin to make all these visits (and many more) with the children. Here you will enjoy a lot, children are surprised at every step and if they are used to travel and visit museums and monuments you will have a great time. Zoos, parks, museums ... are some of the stops in the Irish city.
The Dublin Wax Museum. The National Wax Museum is an essential event, it is located in the city center, next to the Temple Bar. It is a visit included in the Dublin Pass tourist card, highly recommended if we are going to spend several days in the city. Don't miss the Children's fantasy world: the fantasy world of children, where we find the Simpsons, Harry Potter, elves and princesses, fairies and even Santa Claus sleeping (and snoring) in his little house. The Wax factor studio is possibly the most fun room for children, where they can even record a music video. They can play drums or sing to the microphone, and see each other on the screens. The interactive room is also ideal for children, so they can feel on an airplane or in a submarine, do experiments, operate a train ...
Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ireland, the largest in the country (28 hectares) and one of the oldest zoos in Europe. You can see many wild animals in a landscaped environment. There the little ones will know the world of cats, Primates, The Kaziranga Forest Road, the Arctic, the African plains, endangered species ...
St Stephen's Green It is the largest park in Dublin, with nine hectares of lake, trees, walks and monuments of diverse interest. A place of recreation in which to have lunch or run for a while without fear of breaking anything, with a special area for children. In summer a band plays often. There are many other free parks and places in Dublin that we recommend.
Park in front of the Chester Beatty Library - DublinIt is also free to visit the Chester Beatty Library, a beautiful museum dedicated to the collection of manuscripts and books made by a tycoon in the twentieth century. It includes representative samples of world artistic heritage (religious and secular) from around 2700 BC until the present century. To highlight the cafeteria and the rooftop with views, as well as the beautiful park next to the Museum where you can rest or play.
Next to the Chester Beatty Library we can visit Dublin Castle and discover a little more about the history of the city. We could not visit it for reasons of time, but instead we had a good time at the Chester Beatty Museum-Library.
The Guinness Storehouse. If we talk about visiting a brewery, in principle it does not seem to be very suitable for children. But it is that the Guinness Storehouse is a fabulous Museum, of very interesting architecture, that surprises by the continent and the content. In it, children can see a pool of barley, photograph themselves next to hundreds of barrels or taste a juice in the panoramic tower with excellent views of the city, the Gravity Bar. While you taste a good pint of black beer, of course ... The visit It costs about 16 euros for adults although it is included in the Dublin Pass.
Dublinia is one of the best known attractions in the Irish capital, next to the beautiful Christ Church, one of the churches that you cannot miss in Dublin. In Dublinia we can perform a walk through Dublin's past, through medieval Ireland and that of the Vikings. In the exhibition divided into three floors we can know what a medieval fair was like, stroll through a Viking house and another of rich merchants, practice our aim with a white "prisoner" of children and adults, photograph ourselves in sets like ancient Vikings or knights ... A visit where children can interact a lot and is included in the Dublin Pass.
The Science Gallery (Science Gallery) is an attraction located on two floors of the Naughton Institute on the Trinity College campus. The exhibits emphasize visitor participation and are great fun for children and adults alike.
Since we are at Trinity College, I would recommend a visit to one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, the Long Room and the Book of Kells, essential in the city, even if you are attentive to the little ones because this case cannot be touched.
Of course, apart from all these visits we can not stop walking through the city, enjoy its streets, its parks, its bridges, its gastronomy ... Dublin is an ideal city to travel with children and you will need more than one day to get an idea of all its charms.
