    Hi All,

    I have some relatives visiting in June and they have 3 teenage children aged 11, 13 and 14. I am trying to think of some fun daytime activities to do. This is what I've come up with so far: airsoft, trabolgan, fota, blackrock observatory, beach.... can anyone suggest anymore?

    Thanks,
    Kaz.

    There's go karting down in either watergrasshill - outdoors (they actually do loads of activities out there so worth checking out), or little island indoors.

    Hi Kazbah ,

    Planned entertainmen sounds great so far - another one or two to add to the list - the old Cork Women's Prison/Museum - it's up Shanakiel - any teenager/kid who I know loves it - (always the odd ghost story to freak them a bit).

    There's also the Cork Museum in Fitzgerald Park and the Crawford Gallery - if they are interested in art.

    Or take the train to Cobh and there's the Cobh Heritage Centre - where they learn all about the history/emigration/Titanic Trail.

    And if it's raining - thank God for Mahon Point Multiplex Cinema.

    Have fun. I have friends across from London this weekend - not kids - but their first trip to Cork - of course after last week - first place I'm taking them is the English Market. J

    Oh yes I should have really explained it more. Geocache is great fun, it is kinda like a treasure hunt. You will probably need a GPS to find the really hard ones. What happens is someone sets up a cache in perhaps a pretty or interesting spot that they have visited (a cache is normally a lunchbix with a piece of paper to write down when you visited and bits an pieces in it, you can bring things to put in also.Just something really to make trips more interesting.
