There are lots of playgrounds in Galway but the one in Douiska (spelling?) is exceptional. Also, if the weather is reasonable and the tide isn't in, Silverstrand is a wonderland for kids. Kids love collecting shells etc. Also, Barna Woods is awesome even if you are a townie like me...!

On a lighter note, there's the Galway city Museum, not only is it free but they have a Free concert this weekend...
