There are ample activities to do in Ireland when you visit the country. See the beautiful harbors and beaches, take a walk along unspoiled cliff sides or spend some time at one of the many castles or historic structures of the area. All well and good for adults, but what if you have kids? Specifically tweens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That delightful and yet sometimes awkward age where your children are not quite children, but not quite adults either. Usually it is defined by wanting to do grown up things but being slightly too young, and too old to be entertained by the typical activities that the younger set would enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just suggest to your tween that they go on the bouncy castle with their kid brother or sister and watch as their upper lip curls in derision\u2026.\u2019Really, Dad?\u2019 (or Mom)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here\u2019s some suggestions for you that should help keep your tweens suitably entertained while you are on your trip, and be plenty of fun in the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular family attractions in Dublin is the Dublin Zoo.<\/a> Almost 70 acres of exhibits, animals and interactive activities to explore. It is one of the oldest zoo\u2019s in the world and boast over 400 animal exhibits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the recent star attractions are the endangered tiger cubs that were recently born in captivity, and have proved to be a big hit with visitors. There are plenty of animals to see with the usual mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a discovery school and learning center on site and the zoo does a lot to educate people on their conservation efforts. Your kids will enjoy the participation in groups and they can have the chance to feed and interact with animals at certain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
