Kids will love a visit to Blackrock Castle, which is the city’s oldest surviving structure still in use and a 12-minute drive from the city center. A day at the castle includes pirates and smugglers history, touring the dungeons, seeing a cannon fire, exploring the award-winning exhibition on the universe, and the Planetarium. There are plenty of hands-on activities, as well as visiting exhibitions.
Family tickets are available (two adults and two children), and children 5 and under are free. Admission covers all parts of the museum.
