So you’re looking to pack up the kids and head on an action packed holiday to Killarney? (well it would be frowned upon to leave them behind!). Want them entertained from the moment they hop on your bed at ridiculous o’clock in the morning, ‘til their tiny eyelids droop shut at beddy bye bye time? Then Killarney is the Destination for you!

There is so much on offer – have fun with the animals at  Kennedy’s Animal Pet Farm and Playground; discover ancient stalagmites and stalactites at Crag Cave and go back in time at Muckross Traditional Farms! No trip would be complete without a boat ride past Ross Castle on the famous MV Pride of The Lakes or a jaunting car ride to Muckross House and Gardens or for the truly adventurous a horse trek up the Gap of Dunloe! Your only problem will be trying to pack it all in!
