    Please and thank you :)

    I'm bringing my godson to the King Tut expo today, he is delighted because they studied Ancient Egypt this week in school.

    So I was trying to think of where to bring him afterwards and I thought that maybe I could do a statue tour in Dublin City. We could take photos and then have him research a little bit about each photo and we can make a book for him to bring to school.

    First of all, do you think it might be too much info in one day for a 9 year old?

    and Secondly, I know where the main statues are : O'Connell, Molly Malone, Phil Lynott, The hags with the bags, James Joyce and Parnell.
    Can someone help me and tell me where some others might be please?

    Thanks!

    Hi ive the exact same plan for tuesday and my nephew (6) and a friends kid (9). Our plan is the natural history museum in the morning and the King tut after. they are not too far apart geographically. thinking of parking at rds and taxi to natural history museum.
    In my opinion that is enough for one day.. although we are driving from clare.

    I hope you have a great day above. Im looking forward to it myself.
    Pm me your address and i can send you a poster that was in the times during the week. its pretty good.

    Bring him on the splash tour. Departs from stephens green everyhour. Their office is in suffolk street for tickets. I brought 2 kids and they loved.(especially when it turns into a boat and goes into the liffey basin). Good luck!

    Hate to be a naysayer, but I brought him to the National History muesuem a couple of months ago, and also he went on the splash tour aswell!
    Sorry they are both great ideas though.

    KollegeKnight thank you very much I'll send a PM now.

    Michael Collins is in Merrion park too. The south side I seem to remember.

    There's the famine children on the North quays, near the IFSC.

    Can't think of many actually...
