5 Family Things to do in DublinTown

  • Tue, 1 Jul 2025

When it comes to the weekend, families are forever looking for inspiration on things to do. So let DublinTown help with 5 suggestions for places to visit in the city centre to help keep little minds occupied.

 

Do Dublin

Dublin One

There’s no better way to explore Dublin City than on the famous green Hop-on, Hop-off tour bus! As well as taking in all the big attractions this tour also includes some of the lesser known gems in the city. You can jump on at O’Connell Street, Dublin One.

Little Museum of Dublin

The Little Museum of Dublin is located at Stephens Green and really what child doesn’t love the museum. They have worksheets for kids of all ages and there are lots of fun things to do throughout the building.

The Ark

The Ark is Ireland’s only venue exclusively dedicated to producing high quality cultural programmes for children aged 2 to 12. Here, in a unique building designed specifically for them, children explore everything from theatre, music and literature to painting, film, dance and more.

 

Cineworld

Dublin One

Escape to another world or even another planet at Cineworld, Parnell Street! Screenings take place throughout the day, every day, with something for everyone.

The National Wax Museum

Having recently moved to it’s new location on Westmoreland St, the all new National Wax Museum Plus has even more to see and do. The little ones will be enchanted at the kid’s zone while the young adults will be measured on the fear factor through the Horror Hotel, while also taking in some history and seeing their favourite celebs!

The above are just a few of the many things you can do in Dublin’s City Centre. Don’t forget to check out Dublintown.ie What’s On section for regular family activities happening in the city at different times.
