First thing is....buy yourself a map as you're posting in the Donegal forum

I'll move this to the Sligo forum where the good people there will no doubt give you some useful ideas and advice

You wont be able to move posts or threads yourself but dont worry, you'll soon get the hang of posting/replying etc

Welcome to boards

Cinema, indoor play areas (one in Grange, Collooney and I think there's one in town), Sligo golfing, visit the beach, go on a walk around Hazelwood and see the swans and ducks.
Great kids playgound in Doorly Park, opposite Argos.

Walk to the end of Rosses Point beach and play Boats/Pooh Sticks in the shallow river.

(Although not really suitable for a 2 year old). If you have a car, drive to The Dooney Rock, park up and walk around the lake.

A nice circular short walk to the left, and another to the right, rising up and around the Dooney Rock itself. Stunning views.

Keep a look out for the wood faeries, if you're lucky you might just catch a glimpse of one....we did once.
