Things to do
There’s plenty to do in Tralee and the surrounding areas to keep the kids entertained, whatever the weather! Here are some of our top suggestions:
Tralee Aqua Dome
No family holiday to Tralee is complete without a visit to the Aqua Dome! Enjoy the wave pool, river rapids, lazy river, sky-high flume, outdoor falling rapids, whirlpool spas, bubble seats, and more. For even more fun, try Aqua Golf, an 18-hole mini-golf course that’s great for all ages. Purchase your tickets at our park for a significant discount on admission.
Tralee Bay Wetlands Centre
A guest favorite! The Wetlands Centre offers a lake with canoes, pedalos, and water zorbs, as well as an eco-park with birdwatching, safari boat trips, and a viewing tower for panoramic views of Tralee and Tralee Bay. Located just a few minutes’ walk from our park along the river walk, it’s also a fantastic spot for lunch or coffee.
Kerry County Museum (Perfect for rainy days)
An award-winning museum and a must for kids! Dive into the archaeology of medieval Tralee with interactive displays where children can dig up a skeleton, inspect a tooth, and solve the mystery of a medieval murder. Fun and affordable – family passes for two adults and two children are only €10
Park Run & Junior Park Run
Join the free 5km Park Run each Saturday at 9:30 a.m. in Tralee Town Park, just across the road from us. There’s a wonderful atmosphere, and it’s lovely to run in a park surrounded by mature trees. Register at parkrun.ie and bring your printed barcode. For younger children, there’s a special 2km Junior Park Run every Sunday at 9:30 a.m., perfect for family participation and we have a strong contingent of woodlands kids running it every week. Why not join us?
Tralee to Fenit Greenway
The scenic Tralee to Fenit Greenway offers a 14km cycling path from Tralee’’’s Railway Station to the charming fishing village of Fenit. The route is safe, flat, and ideal for families. Bikes are available for hire in Tralee, or feel free to bring your own. Fenit itself has a beautiful beach, playground, marina, lighthouse, and St. Brendan’s monument, plus options for snacks and lunch – a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon!
Crag Cave
Just outside Castleisland, Crag Cave extends for nearly 4km through limestone passages. Alongside the cave tour, there’s an indoor play area, café, and shop. During the summer, Kingdom Falconry offers Bird of Prey displays, adding even more excitement.
Bowling Buddies & Skywalk
Located in Manor West Shopping Centre, Bowling Buddies has a high-ropes skywalk experience that’s ideal for kids ages 7 and up. Parents can relax with a coffee while the kids swing above!
The Playdium (Perfect for rainy days)
