Things to do in Kildare for Families
Whether the weather is good or bad, there are always fun things to do in Kildare. Clonfert Pet Farm in Maynooth is a great afternoon of fun and learning for all of the family. It’s a farm and mini zoo with outdoor and indoor play options with three playgrounds, a football and Astro pitch, mini golf, zipline, bouncy castle and indoor play centre. The Kildare Maze, Leinster’s largest hedge maze located in Prosperous, will test your memory, skills and patience… or you can wait on the outside while your family figure it out! Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park in Rathangan is a very interesting space for a day trip, teaching you more about peat and bogland as well as life before modern technology when we relied upon fossil fuels even more than we do now. These are all great options if you have a car as they’re a short distance from our Kildare family hotel.
Outdoor Activities in Kildare
The National Stud is a great place for a family day out, offering entertainment and education in one. Learn more about Ireland’s premier horse stud facilities and if you’re lucky you’ll get to meet and interact with some of its residents. On the same ground, the Japanese Gardens can teach us all about respecting nature and the benefits of quiet. Enjoy a Royal Canal Boat Tour for a family day out they’ll never forget. Explore Kildare from a whole new vantage point while you meander the waterways.
