Hi all,
Friend of mine recently undertook the trip below with her two boys, really worth reading for a great day out:
Well I’m up from Galway with the 3 boys staying with my mum and we decided to go to Collins Barracks and then Malahide Castle.
So train from Castleknock to Connolly,
Luas from Connolly to Museum
Visited Dead Zoo, and the Soldier exhibit and the Money exhibit, very interesting, could have spent loads more time there, but had places to go!
Kids loved the Luas to get there, and then we had snack in the cafe, which was a big hit.
Boys really liked Natural History Stuffed Animals and the soldier exhibit all the tanks and things.
There is also a big courtyard and I saw other little boys running around it!
Luas from Museum to Connolly.
Dart from Connolly to Howth Junction
Dart from Howth Junction to Malahide.
Then walked miles to the Model railway museum at Malahide Castle, Boys enjoyed it but i thought it was a bit expensive, then we went to the cafe, then spent ages at the fab playground.. then time to head home.
Dart from Malahide to Connolly
Train from Connolly to Castleknock.
Great day out, boys were excited to be on so many trains!!!
Both places defo worth a visit again!! Maybe with less train trips :
