Tips for a family vacation in Ireland

Why Ireland With Kids?

No land is more enchanting than Ireland. Even if you’re beyond the age when you're "supposed" to believe in faeries, the moment you step foot in Ireland a feeling of possibility washes over you. You just don’t know what could be at the top of those castle towers or at the end of the rainbow.
While many make much of pub tours and guided bus travel, Ireland has much to offer families. From storybook castles to magnificent gardens, wide open spaces to the bustle of international cities, breathtaking natural scenery to man made megalithic structures, Ireland opens her arms and welcomes your family to explore her ancient sites, traverse her green fields and discover her treasures.
Ireland has become my family’s favorite destination; every trip feels like a homecoming. Here at Ireland with Kids I want to share the beauty of Ireland and the family friendliness brochures often miss.
Enjoy your time here, explore a bit, and let me inspire you plan a magical family vacation in Ireland.
