Bring the kids along as you channel your family’s Irish roots in Ireland. Celebrate Irish culture, delicious Irish cuisine and the nation’s history. Here are four spots in Ireland you can do so with the family.
What could be more Irish than staying in a countryside castle, with all the luxury trimmings included? Get away to this 450-acre estate and enjoy Ireland’s mild winters on the 18-hole golf course, alongside a range of other activities from falconry to fishing, horse and carriage rides to wine cellar tours. For families of foodies, the nearby Burren Food Trail delights as a self-guided tour for those looking to experience the region’s culinary stories, from smoked salmon to oyster beds.

Galway is European’s Capital of Culture for 2020, making it an excellent spot to soak in all the Irish culture you can handle. You’ll find lots of cultural experiences fit for families, whether you want to visit a museum, listen to some live music or attend a literary event.
Cork is a budding Irish destination with lots to offer discerning family travelers. The starting point of the Wild Atlantic Way, Cork is the foodie capital of Ireland, with the country’s most Michelin-starred restaurants in one spot. Looking for a place to stay in the city? The newly renovated River Lee property offers more than 180 luxurious guestrooms. Visit Nano Nagle Place for a unique historic experience; it was once a convent and is now a museum and garden, right in the middle of the city.
Dublin offers plenty of things to do that are more than kid-friendly. Take a walking tour of Dublin, visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral and make sure to chow down on some delicious Irish cuisine.
