Ballybunion Activities For Families and Children
There is lots of activities for children to enjoy when staying in Ballybunion.
There are seven miles of beaches on the coastline of Ballybunion, so for good days a visit to the beach with buckets and spades is a must. Don’t forget to bring plenty of drinking water and sun block!
Ballybunion has a well kept fenced in playground. This is great for children of all ages and for parents too who might finally have a chance to catch their breathe while the kids play in the safe environment. There’s bound to be the occasional victim of a fall but the soft padded ground will minimise the risk and the tears.
There are plenty of places to treat children to ice-creams and snacks in the main street of the town, only about 100 meters from the playground.
For younger children (4/5 years) there is the Ballybunion pre-school drop in centre which is run buy a local charity. The staff are all highly trained and qualified and there are lots of fun activities daily for little guests.
South of Ballybunion is Rattoo Round Tower which will inspire the imaginations of children and adults alike. And there is always Ballybunion theatre with shows on every week that can be enjoyed by the entire family.
If the weather turns wet there’s always the indoor pool at Ballybunion leisure centre or for older kids maybe a short trip to one of the many arcades in the town will amuse them for a while. Watch the budget though!
Ballybunion For Adults
Again the beach is a must. There are also lots of pubs and fast food joints in Ballybunion town. If you want to eat in a more up market establishment, rach ti Conor and McMunns are supposed to be the better establishments for eating out in Ballybunion.
There was a tradition of seaweed baths in Ballybunion that is carried on today in the new leisure centre, it’s oddly refreshing and worth the experience.
