Things to do with Family & kids in Galway
"The longest stalactite in the northern hemisphere, measuring 7.3m, is the draw of the Doolin Cave, 3.5km north of Roadford. Tour times vary seasonally, but are usually on the hour. Glacial clay from deep within the cave is used by on-site potter Caireann Browne, who sells her works here. The property also has a 1km-long farmland trail featuring rare animal breeds, and a cafe."
"On the shores of Galway Bay, the Connemara Coast Hotel is the perfect place to spend a little me-time, especially in the luxury spa. Book time in the Therapy Rooms and look forward to an Aromatherapy Massage or more rigorous Swedish massage. Natural aromatic oils are used in the Hot Stones Massage that delivers deep heat to inner bone and tissue."
"Overlooking the stunning Cashla Bay lies the incredibly well-preserved and historic Martello Tower. The history of such towers follows that of the British Ordnance, whereby towers were constructed at key coastal sites, to prevent invasions of Ireland from the French Napoleon army. This particular Martello Tower was incredibly modern for its time, with features such as a 24-pound cannon."

With a massive cave featuring an underground waterfall, and daily demonstrations of their Birds of Prey show and more, it’s a unique experience you won’t forget. Take a thirty-minute tour through the dramatic underworld of Aillwee Cave."
"If you’re looking for family activities for all ages, the Ailwee Caves and Bird of Prey Centre is a great option for you. Located in the heart of the Burren in County Clare and only 40 minutes from both Galway and Shannon. Perched high on its Burren terraced mountainside."
"North of the Square, Ennis Friary was founded by Donnchadh Cairbreach O'Brien, a king of Thomond, between 1240 and 1249. A mix of structures dating between the 13th and 19th centuries, the friary has a graceful five-section window dating from the late 13th century, a McMahon tomb (1460) with alabaster panels depicting scenes from the Passion, and a particularly fine Ecce Homo panel portraying a stripped and bound Christ."
