Fairies and Leprechauns

I am going to Ireland with my 4 and a half years old.
I would like to know if there are parks or other attractions about fairies, Leprechauns and other legends for kids in Republic of Ireland. We will go all around so it can be anywhere in Republic of Ireland.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alexandra,

It's so nice to hear that you're coming to the island with your child and that you're looking for fun activities! 😊

The Leprechaun and Fairy Cavern in Carlingford is a great place for children where we can explore the cavern and learn about the leprechauns' legends. 

Besides, I could also recommend Knockma Hill in Galway which a nice location with a scenic walk. It is said that Finvarra, the fairy king of Connacht, holds court on the hill. 

Do you have some ideas of places you would like to visit? I'd be happy to help you. 

Have a nice day,
Sophie

Hi,
Thanks a lot
We are doing a tour.
We are going to stay in Gorey, (Wicklow) Mullinavat, Kinsale, Burnfoot (Donegal) and Lissadell (Sligo).
If you have other ideas and suggestions. I will also be with my parents who are over 70 years old, so I need fun things to do and not too hard.
Kind regards.

How exciting, Alexandra! I hope you'll have a wonderful time with your parents and your child. 😊

You'll find plenty of suggestions on our trip ideas and activities pages, depending on what they enjoy doing. You can pick various themes to match your parent's interests

I would personally recommend to visit heritage sites that are easily walkable : you can check them out on the Heritage Ireland website. Businesses that offer tours such as a salmon smokehouse, a distillery or even a crystal factory could also appeal to your parents, depending on what they like.

I hope this helps! Please get back to us when it's time to finalize your itinerary or if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Antoine
