King John's Castle
Perched on King's Island beside the River Shannon, this 13th-century Anglo-Norman castle brings 800 years of Limerick history to life for young visitors. Kids can walk the original castle walls and towers, climb battlements, and explore interactive exhibitions that use touch-screen technology and 3D displays to recreate medieval sieges and daily life. The courtyard hosts hands-on activities like archery, horseshoe throwing and tug of war, letting children test feudal-era skills the way castle inhabitants once did. Costumed guides bring the site's Viking and Norman past alive with storytelling suited to families. Ticket categories cover children aged 4-14 (with under-3s admitted free), students, seniors and several family combinations, so groups of any size are catered for. Between exhibits, the Siege Café offers light bites, coffee and castle views for a mid-visit break. Panoramic views over the Shannon from the towers are a highlight for older kids and parents alike. Open year-round with seasonal extended summer hours and special events like Halloween and Easter workshops, it makes an easy half-day outing that blends real archaeology with playful, active learning about Ireland's medieval past.

This course is ideal for first-time parents with a baby between 0-5 months old. This course will teach you the fundamentals of baby swimming in the bathtub. Please be aware it's not washing the baby in the bathtub - it's swimming in the bathtub. There is a difference between these two procedures. Washing a baby is a hygienic procedure. Baby swimming is a session that's designed for your baby's healthier and balanced development. In this course, you'll find out about your baby's reflexes and milestones, all that you need to start, the variations of the exercises that you can work with your baby in a home environment. It's a great start for both of you. This course will give you the exact tools so that you can prevent future dramas when water is on your baby's faces and when you're washing their hair. You'll learn how to create a happy, healthy relationship with the water for your baby and how to boost their confidence in the water. To book, please email info@dianasswimacademy.ie
