Carlow activities ideas......

ROCKMAN

Hi all ,trying to plan our summer trip for your junior youth club [11-12 year olds]
Trying to do a big circle with 3/4 stops and events for the members. The route at the moment is looking like..
Waterford--Wicklow[cliara lara]--Carlow--Kilkenny--Waterford.

looking for info on places in and around Carlow
Is there a McDonalds , Supermacs etc in Carlow and if so which is the best
I See [Internet search] there are Horse riding centres , Bowing alleys , Swimming pool etc in /around Carlow. Are they any good.
Is there any hidden treasures that i'm missing.

There's both McDonalds and 2 Supermacs. Personally, I'd perfer the Drive Thru SuperMacs out on the Dublin Rd.
We've one public swimming pool in "Carlow Town" Down in Graigcullen. Its fine. 25m usually clean and reasonably priced. No diving allowed though

How old are the kids? The Dome is a great spot for the kids with Bowling, Pool tables, air hockey, arcade games and restaurant.

there is also a paint ball park "Rapid Fire" just outside the town (co Kildare) but not sure if it has an age limit?

Thanks lads , The age is a big problem ever time I think I have found a fun/good event the age limit has kicked in

Is it far from McDonalds to the Cinema , or from McDonalds to The Dome

Walking distance or short drive

Are you looking to have the children do a riding lesson or just a spin on a pony?

Both would be taking into account ,
Would a spin on pony be bit to young for 10 to 12 year olds
[the reason I ask is ,The trip will be a mystery tour so I cannot ask them ,some members are 10 going on 30 if you know what i mean]

It would add a lot to the cost to have lessons and if the childre nare that bit older ,they won't think much of a short pony ride. It may also push up your insurance a good bit.Let me know if you still ocnsider it and I'll get you a few places to try.

Quad biking in Borris for 8yr olds and up. Possibly too pricy though.
