    So I I've been tasked with finding a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon with five kids, aged 3, 5, 6, 10 & 12. All boys except the 5yo girl, if that bakes a difference.

    Hit me with your best suggestions for somewhere to bring them all so that the 12yo isn't bored and the 3yo isn't left out of activities! Can be in Dublin or surrounding counties.

    Happy to spend some money, but Tayto Park looked like it would get pricey for 5 kids & 2 adults (probably about €200 before we buy even a bag of crisps), so somewhere less expensive would be great.

    What about Fort lucan? My nephews always enjoy it.

    €200 in Tayto park would get you membership for whole year for that group! Fair enough you have to buy extra tokens when you go in but it should still be shy of €200.

    The Zoo is another obvious option. The 12 year old should still enjoy it. Viking Splash tour maybe.

    The Zoo! Put your mobile number on 5 pieces of paper and stick them in their pockets/in their shoes. Just in case!

    Botanic gardens do a nature trail for kids.
    It also links to glasnevin cemetery with its museum and tour.
    Might be too Scary for the younger kids.
