Things to do in Dublin, Province of Leinster: The Best Fun Activities & Games

May 16, 2022 Darleen Reid

You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

Went to this night with some friends. There were a variety of different acts, both Irish and from overseas. The Mc was very lively and got the crowd going. There was a wonderful atmosphere and it was a great night. Would highly recommend it if you are in Dublin.

I did the Alice in Wonderland Escape Room here with two of my friends, and we had a wonderful time! The clues were challenging enough to keep us busy and entertained, and easy enough that we were able to get them (with a bit of work). We spent most of the time laughing at each other, and enjoyed the activity. The staff here was friendly and helpful, and this is definitely something that I would come back to in the future.

We did a lot of escaperooms around the globe but this is without a doubt one of the best. The friendlyness of the staff, the chill atmosphere of the surroundings and the room itself with some easy ( to get in the game) and some daring clues and riddles made this a topnight in Dublin for our family. Present for my daughters 18th birthday and boy did she like it...!
