Things to do in Dublin with Kids

Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross is ideally located right at the gateway to Dublin’s main family attractions, including Dublin Zoo, Fort Lucan, Aqua Zone and Emerald Park, making us the ideal base when exploring Dublin city and its surrounding areas with the family.

Our location just off the N7 flyover at exit 1A and also only a five-minute drive from exit 9 off the M50, means you won’t have to spend too much time in the car with the kids when travelling from all over Ireland.

Check out our various family deals and packages available and book your stay at Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross.

Fort Lucan is less than a 15-minute drive from the hotel and is a lovely place to visit, especially when the weather is nice. This adventure playground is fun for all ages and includes an under 5’s play area so the little ones can have just as much fun (recommended for kids between 2 to 14 years old).

Fort Lucan is Dublin’s biggest and best outdoor adventure centre. It is a fully supervised adventure playground where the main aim is to provide a fun day out for the whole family.

At Fort Lucan, kids create their own adventures as they discover secret slides, climb 40-foot towers and high walkways before zipping across the aerial runways. There are also 2 massive waterslides, crazy golf and go-karting for the kids.

And for the under 5’s, there is a mini Fort Lucan where the little ones can play, climb and dig. It is complete with aerial runways, baby go-karts, sandpit and much more.

When travelling to Fort Lucan, why not make a full event out of it and stay at the Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross?

Corkagh Park is a massive 120-hectare public park that offers a range of different activities that is bound to keep the little ones occupied. Families can spend time fawning over the pet farm or running themselves ragged in the playgrounds or even get on their bikes to use the cycle tracks.

If mam and dad are looking to spend some quiet time away from the energetic kids, there is also a beautiful rose garden where they can relax and spend some quality time together.

The park is located only a five-minute drive from Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross and is the ideal place to waste away a few hours when the sun is shining.
