Anywhere you like, they are welcome everywhere.

Drop a heart, break a name

Dublin Zoo, Mosney - adventure park, Bray - loads of amusements and a beach etc, the statue of Phil linnett for tourist places to visit, Dublinia for historical facts about vikings etc, maybe take them to a show in the olympia theathre, Christ Church, For shops go to Henry street or Grafton Street. I hope you and your kids have a lovely time and enjoy Dublin!

The Pub! In Ireland, kids start early.

Where are they from. lots of cultural and historical places like art gallery andmuseums. Dublin castle and city hall. also Dublinia is great to teach them about old Dublin and vikings. Trinity college and the book of Kells there. Writers museum in Parnell Square. Look at www.visitdublin.ie

The open-top bus tours are excellent. You pay about 12-14Euro and tickets are valid for 24hours. They operate a 'hop on/hop off' facility at loads of attractions throughout the city and operate about every 10 minutes. For touristy things, try the statue of Molly Malone, the Famine Memorial, Oscar Wilde's birthplace and statue and the Phoenix Park. Not sure how appropriate the Guiness Museum would be for 13yr olds (plus it is about 14Euro admission - but you get a 'complimentary' pint of the Black Stuff - or a soft drink!) but the view from the 'Tower' is spectacular. Enjoy!!

Try the Viking Splash tours. I think they run throughout the year. It's a tour by land and water in a DUKW (duck) - a vehicle used by US and allied troops during WWII. It's supposed to be a fun way to see the city.
