Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Galway

"Another great place to visit indoors with kids in Galway is Busy Bees. It’s one of the great things to do with toddlers in Galway as it is suitable for kids from the age of 6 months. There is a large soft play area, a separate one for toddlers, there is a roller skate disco suitable for kids age 7-12, a teddy bear stuffing workshop (a great birthday party idea), and laser tag for the over 8s."

"Busy Bees is a fun-packed adventure centre for children of all ages. Conveniently located in Oranmore Business Park in Oranmore, Galway just 10 minutes drive from Galway city centre."

"Newtown Castle – Newtown Castle is a stunning and unique 16th-century tower house that is located in the scenic County Clare village of Ballyvaughan; it is most striking and notable for its cylindrical shape and square, pyramid-shaped base. The history of the castle dates back to the 16th century, in around the year 1550, as a residence for the O’Brien clan; however, the castle was then later passed over to the O’Lochlainn family. In recent times, the castle has been restored to its former glory, as it fell into disrepair during the 18th century, and it is today open to the public on weekdays only."

"Near Athenry, you will find a forest walk to enjoy with your little explorers called the Carrabane Forest Walk. There is a looped trail that is composed of gravel (so not really buggy-friendly) that crosses streams and over bridges that kids and dogs will love. Take a picnic to enjoy, and if you are visiting in autumn, take a food container so the kids can do some blackberry picking."

"This is a rare kind of garden – one to commemorate those who donated their organs. There is something mystic, something spiritual about it, but that is hard to describe. Birdsong fills the air."

"This quaint, inviting restaurant is perfect for a night of wine, music and conversation over some seriously delicious French food. Swing jazz, classical guitar and piano can heard of a night throughout the week which just adds to the warm, buzzing atmosphere. The small menu means everything on it is cooked to perfection, from the striploin steak with blue cheese sauce (highly recommended) to the half-lobster, cooked fresh with garlic butter."

"Dominick Street has become quite the foodie spot in Galway, and it’s no wonder when you have such great choices, with French restaurant Rouge among its line up. Diners can enjoy fine cuisine that tastes great, is full of character, and bursting with beaucoup de bon vin."
