What to do in Galway with kids?

masadjie

I plan to take my sons (5 & 10) to Galway this weekend. I will drive from Cork. Could you please give me a recommendation any place which would be interesting for the kids. I am thinking to visit the Aquarium at first.

Also where is the good B&B to stay for one night, not too expensive I hope.

Lots of stuff for kids in Galway, for instance
The Leisureland complex in Salthill.
Turoe Pet Farm and Leisure Park.
City Limits
Leisureworld
If weather is good just walking around Salthill and eating ice-cream is good.

College Road has many B&Bs

If the weather is good you could buy a couple of those kid leashes and tie them up outside a pub and enjoy yourself....

Other than that there's 2 cinemas in Galway (Omniplex on the Headford Road and Eye Cinema in Well Park) There is also a bowling alley/mini arcade on the Headford Road.

There's some amusements out in Salthill by Leisureland and more in the Seapoint center also in Salthill.

I'd say you'll be grand with stuff to do.

B&B..I'm from Galway so I don't know any in particular to suggest really. I know the Galway Arms Inn has a nice breakfast and is a B&B

Enjoy!

The aquarium is always good and there are several nice little beaches right along the prom to build some sandcastles and chase some waves.

In particular on Sunday the Teddy Bear's Picnic at the Ardilaun sounds good. Face painting, activities, bbq, and Guinness Jazz Band:
