    I've been asked to recommend some stuff for a couple from the US and their toddler. They're interested in Trad music sessions, but AFAIK most don't kick off til about 9.30, by which time the kid will have to be out of the pub. Any suggestions anyone - its a while since I've lived in Galway so I'm struggling a bit :o

    Other non-booze fuelled suggestions of what do also most welcome. Would February be suitable for a trip to the Aran Islands?

    The atlantaquaria is worth a visit, though it's not exactly sea world if they're septics and used to the big league

    I’m not sure if you are looking for things to keep the toddler busy, after 9pm, or just in general.There are a good few “free” things to do around town. There are various playgrounds, Feeding the ducks in Woodquay. Walking the Prom. The county library, kite flying down in southpark.etc
    There are also some other places to try. Busy Bees or Hip Kids type of place. The atlantaquaria, as mentioned in an earlier post. Two year olds have a very short attention spell, as you may find out.
    Hope this helps

    The Cliffs of Moher/Burren and Connemarra bus tours would probably be entertaining enough for them and passable for the kid if they brought things to entertain him/her on the ride.

    There is a good Galway-based website which would definitely be worthwhile checking out. It gives listings of activities both indoor and outdoor for families and also has a forum that they could ask galway parents about various things. mykidstime.ie
