places to go in the county

cmurph

just thought this might be a good thread with it being summer :eek:

so where do ye like to go on a day out with the children or as a couple..

last week we went to stonehall near curraghchase, it was lovely
7euro each to get in ,the kids had a ball, its a farm with lots of different animals there....deer, llama, ostrich,owls, pigs,and plenty of small pets for kids to pet....rabbit,mice,cat,chinchillas,snakes and plenty others too

and a bouncy castle and lots of karts and tractors and bikes to cycle on

buttercup farm is nice too....

so any ideas on how else to amuse the kids on these dreary summer days?

go-karting in kilcornan just by the entrance to curraghchase always go with all my friends when we're bored of town.

lough gur is good too for a stroll or a few games of soccer.

Would depend on the age of the kids but the Flying boat museum in Foynes is worth a visit

Ah buttercup farm, now that brings back memories...
As poxyshamrock said go karting is great in kilcornan and theres paintballing just outside rathkeale (can't remember exact location but its in that area).

Were can you play football (soccer ) in Lough Gur

Oh and climbing the Galtee's

More will come to me
Oh ya theres that long walks in the mountains you can do down by kilfinane maybe somebody can remember the name of the place

Paintballing is in Shanagolden. For those in the south of the county, Doneraile House and Park in North Cork is a good place for the kids...lakes..playground and I think the hous is due to re-open soon too
