    This may not be the right area for this query, please move as appropriate.

    We are an office of approximately 20 staff, of differing ages and abilities. Each year we do a summer/autumn staff outing with lunch/meal inclusive. Anyone got any ideas? We're in Dublin 24 and can travel.

    In the past we've had a trip to Kippure for some outdoor activities followed by dinner back in the city centre (where the office is based).

    Also something like GoQuest in Finglas is a good group activity - it's a bit like the Crystal Maze if you remember that, lots of rooms with different clues to be solved, some active, some you just need to use your head.

    Escape Room seems to be becoming very popular now with Businesses

    We went to Kippure last year, didn't go down too well with most of our staff. Younger staff thought it was great! :D

    I can see a few now!

    Unfortunately our older crew wouldn't even consider it.

    I've been looking at this myself recently

    You could go ziplining at zipit.ie - it's not too far from Johnnie Foxes/Merry Ploughboy for a pnt afterwards.

    Book out the stella cinema for a fancy movie showing

    Go Alpaca hiking in Wicklow (seriously - google it) - although I'm not sure about availability

    If town is an option - look at doing some cooking in pinnochio restaurant

    Cheap & cheerful - do a picnic somewhere in the Dublin mountains - Hellfire Club? 3 Rock? Cruagh Wood?

    We took our lads to the greyhounds.

    Dinner, racing, etc. Very well enjoyed by everyone.

    Escape Room on Capel Street was great
    Basil Pizza you can reserve a room in a kind of cabin thing and play your own music and bring your own beer and wine
    Cocktail making in Opium was brilliant too
    Mini casino can be great craic (especially after drinking the cocktails)
    Whiskey tasting in the Rag Trader and lunch in Dakota
