What Else is there to DO!!!!

sioda

Hi all I'm looking for any suggestions of what to do iin Limeick in the evening besides the pub or the flicks. I remember being at a kinda Kids play arena in the stats except geared at adults. Swings climbing frames slides ball pools the whole lot all geared at people between the ages of 18 and 35. Plus I think Limeick could do with more than one Funderland visit a year and there is none this year. At least we get the ice rink again though.

Any and all thoughts welcome.

Bowling, Paintball (might be closed this time of year, not sure), pub crawl, go and support a local sports team eg. Limerick FC or the basketball team, indoor soccer hall (moylish), indoor hockey, hurling, basketball etc or look at the sticky

I worked in Funderland once and to be quite honest I believe that Limerick could do without more than one visit from them a year. That's just my own grudge against the place showing.

I suppose you could check out the Limerick Event Guide too for details about concerts, exhibitions and that sort of thing. There are nice walks in the city environs, such as Cratloe Woods, Castleconnel and Curraghchase. There's gokarting in Kilcornan. The problem with all those places though is that you really need your own car to get to them.

What do other places have that you can't do in Limerick? You're mention of the adults play area is all well and good, but we have paintball which is kind of similar, ok maybe not, but it's not like you'd go to either of them, the paintball or play area, every week, is it?

I think the ice rink is great, it would be cool if they opened a permanent one hear.

Gaf your dead rite as a non car owner I can't get around as easy and public transport in town ain't great. I fuly agree bout the ice rink though

I think a permanent Ice Rink would be less special, because it would have to be designed for preformance skating and Ice Hockey (to keep it going), it wouldnt have a christmas athmosphere and just wouldnt be as special... saying that, I would love to see a permanent Ice Rink, but is Limerick big enough???
I think more free events are needed, or cheap !

In this week's Limerick Leader, in an article about Thomond Park, the journalist mentioned something about an 8000 seater auditorium that's in the pipeline for Limerick. Has anybody heard anything about this?

If yer over 16 and are free in the evenings
Limerick School of Arms teach classical Fencing
Every Mon-Thurs 18:50 - 21:40

I have been going there for a few months
and think its interesting and a great way to keep fit,
although to get any satisfaction from the pasttime
you need to put in a long term effort.

Its perfectly safe does not hurt or anything.
Lessons are cheap at 6.50 a pop. Its unlike Sports fencing thats
on the telly, in the sense that it teaches you how the weapons were
used in real life.
