Things to do on Stag in Galway

    Hi All,

    I am looking for some kind of activity to do on a Saturday in Galway City. Looking on here, a lot of the ideas are outdated as places have since closed down. e.g Karting track closed.

    If anyone knows where we might be able to play 5 A side soccer during the day, that would be great.

    Or if anyone has any suggestions that will keep us out of the pub, then I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Went clay pigeon shooting on one last summer. Good craic, great way to kill an hour or so. Can't remember where it was, some castle/ hotel, near the city.

    Clay pigeon shooting at the arches would be fun.

    10 points for hitting the swams
    20 points for hitting drunk dickheads
    30 points for hitting drunk slags

    City limits has really gone down the pan I wouldnt go there. No more Go karting (it was a tiny kids track anyway). As far as I know they just have imflatable bouncy castles and slides upstairs now. The bowling is ok but I was there last week and you would nearly cut ur fingers off with the balls as they are so old and the pints are crap as the taps are hardly used.

    Is Pallas karting not open?? I heard thats the best place for go karting!
    Largest track in europe etc

    Yes it is an hour away in Tynagh. Can understand you dont want to travel far.
    There was a great place out in knocknacarra that used to be called gorrilla games. It had a giant human fusball (sp) game, sumo wrestling suits etc
    I hear it is closed now but may be another company along the same lines. Cant find any details on it though. So i am not much help sorry!

    theirs bowling in terryland shopping centre, where theirs also some pool and snooker, but best place for snooker is on elington st, or out in caesars casino in salthill, which above the casion has a nice snooker hall, otherwise some roulette downstairs could be in orders?

    Cheeres manafana - like the idea of snooker...could have some kind of competition between us which would be a bit of crac

    id recommend going out to cesears in salthill, as theirs probably going be easier get tables and their rates are cheaper too, and theirs parking round the back for you too.
