Anyone done a family trip to Dublin?
Taking the family (girls are ages 5 and 3) in August.
Any (sensible) suggestions would be appreciated.

Been to Tayto Park with the kids and their Irish cousins ... Ok if under 10 and hardly a theme park merely a playground with a museum type place linked to the factory. Tayto were the first to add flavour to potato crisps !!

Out of curiosity I decided to Google tayto park seeing as so many recommended it
Truly I thought that was a wind up. TAYTO park, you couldn't make that shit up. Potato themed rides. It's like an Alan partridge brain fart into his dictafone that got taken up.

If you have a car then Wicklow is worth a drive and treat yourself to a pint at Johnny Foxes. Get the kids an ice cream in Scrumdiddlies in Dun Laoghaire

Definitely do the Viking tour. Kids will love it and it's decent for the adults as well.
Tayto park is great day as well and only 30 min drive from you
If you want to have a few beers and some decent reasonable grub with the kids this place is very kid friendly and has a no music policy and loads of games for the kids to play with. It's full at the weekends for lunch with parents with kids and buggys etc but still a decent pub that you and the missus will enjoy

I'll ask my brothers who all have young kids for some other things to do.

We are staying at the Croke Park Hotel opposite the stadium and we are renting a car so can visit anywhere within reason

Dublin zoo is decent.
Tayto park is VG
The national aquatic centre would be a bit of fun as well.
There's also a Viking splash tour, it's like s boat on wheels that drives around the city centre and then goes into the river Liffey.
Where are you staying?

Go to the cafe were Sir Roger Casement lived up to his name by bumming dozens of fenian teenagers
Father of twentieth-century human rights? Yeah right, a slippery, filthy Hun collaborator who betrayed his country and was damn well hung (no pun intended).
I'm bored today.

Go to the park. It's mahoosive. And there is a zoo there, botanical gardens, cafes etc...
There's Dublinia. Never been there but it's an historical recreation centre - dressing up, archery, fighting...
Visit the big waterpark - can't remember what it's called
The National Gallery is pretty impressive, depends on your children
Train rides around the bay? Boat trips?
Guinness Storehouse - the children can't have a free pint, but it's an interactive museum with family passes

The Zoo in Phoenix Park
Tayto
Sea @ Howth (nicer), Bray (a bit run down) or Brittas Bay - gorgeous Sand dunes but will need car
If you have a car Wicklow is a gorgeous county
Glendalough etc ..
