Traveling With Children in Ireland

Traveling with children can be a fun and memorable experience for both you and them, and Ireland is a great place bring them. However, children like routine and security so it requires some preparation and effort to make traveling an enjoyable experience for both kids and adults.
There are very few health risks to young children in Ireland and the worst they are likely to get is a head cold or sunburn. Nevertheless, be sure to pack a well stocked first aid kit for those inevitable little accidents, and keep them protected from the sun on hot summer days.
It is also a good idea to let them know about the holiday well in advance to give them time to adjust to the idea. Also, get them involved, show them brochures and seek their input on what they would be like to do when they are there. Most likely, they will be dragging you out the door to the airport when it is time to go.
In so far as possible, try to keep them to their regular routine during travel as regards eating and sleeping. Pack plenty of snacks so they don't get hungry and keep plenty of games and toys at hand.
Once you arrive in Ireland you will most likely be driving and will need a good rental car to get you around. Be sure to rent a spacious vehicle. Three kids squashed into the back of a hatchback does not make for a harmonious holiday. Thrifty Car Rentals has a good choice of family cars and people carriers to suit your family at reasonable prices. It has offices at Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports, and Dublin and Cork city centres as well.
There is no shortage of fun activities all Ireland for children and adults to enjoy together. With beautiful beaches, zoos, petting farms, water parks and much more, there is no reason for the little ones to get bored. Be sure to include at least one activity that they will enjoy each day.
