    Blue Jean Festival in Athboy, Co. Meath- about an hour from Dublin. Lots of kid's entertainment there.

    Trip to Glenroe Farm in Kilcoole - great for the smallies.

    Airfield in Dundrum - also really good

    the tall ships are in and you can get on and have a look around them, also lots more going on worth a trip i'd say

    The Leixlip Festival is on. (You can't drive through Leixlip, they close the Main Street). Juggling acts, storytelling, circus acts, clowns..other sorts of street entertainers, think there's farmyard animals too, there's fairs and stalls, candyfloss, fairground rides for kids..

    We went to Bloom in the Phoenix park today and it's really great with lots for kids to do.
    It's a bit pricey though E25 per adult, kids are free. I got a 2 for 1 voucher in Newlands cross garden centre which made it more affordable.
