Our family loves animals. Wherever we go we make it a point to see some animals. Whether it's a zoo or a hands on experience we are in!
We had no idea there were dolphins in Ireland! This tour was a highlight of Ireland. Mary Kate and her crew were absolutely phenomenal. Dolphins are Addie's favorite animal and she was over the moon to be so close to them. 100% would do again!
Dolphin Watching Boat Trips on the Loop Head Peninsula, Wild Atlantic Way Ireland
The Donkey Sanctuary is such a gem! We called ahead and when we got there the kids received their own packets with customized carrot pens! You can adopt a donkey to help them provide care for them. We couldn't decide on which one we wanted to adopt s...

If you get the chance to go to Fota Wildlife Park make sure you get there early! They feed the cheetah's in the morning and you get to see them run up close. It is a really amazing thing to see how graceful they are.

If you get the chance to visit Falconry Kerry, do so. We got to hold owls and hawks. They were great with the kids and and so accommodating. Tell them The Traveling Slaters sent you!

Dingle Ireland is a picturesque fishing town on its own. Add in an aquarium and you have a day where there is something for everyone! Such a cute aquarium with a butterfly exhibit and an absolutely adorable otter exhibit where they feed them so you c...

We would be doing a disservice to ourselves and our kids if we didn't get out of our comfort zone and explore the local culture in whatever country we are visiting!
No trip to Dublin is complete without visiting the Guiness Storehouse! Even with kids the self-guided tour through the seven-story tall pint glass is an absolute blast. Even if you don't drink alcohol you can get a Guinness Zero at the end to go alon...
Guinness Storehouse Experience
We did Bunratty Castle on Father's Day and it was a great day to be in Ireland! The staff is dressed in period clothing and they recreate the feel of what it was like to live in the village. We couldn't get Levi out of the Blacksmith's barn! A pair o...
Bunratty Castle and Folk Park
When in Ireland, the Jameson is a must. Here's the deal, Jameson is made at the Middleton Distillery, and if you want to see where it's made you have to go to Middleton Distillery in Cork. They don't make any whiskey at the Middleton Distillery in Du...
Cork Midleton DistilleryJameson Experience & Whiskey Tasting
Another Bucketlist item for us! What an absolutely gorgeous view. Words do not do it justice. Make sure you dress warm, it is probably going to be windy. Also, try and check the weather because if it's foggy, there won't be anything to see!
Cliffs of Moher Tour
Yes we did. You absolutely have to kiss the Blarney Stone to receive the gift of Eloquence. There is so much more to do than just put your lips where everyone elses have been at the Blarney Castle & Grounds. We spent all day walking around and ta...
Easy Access Blarney Stone and Castle Gardens Tour
Brittany used to watch her parents VHS tape of Riverdance nonstop as a kid. Addie did Irish Dancing when she was younger. This was a no brainer for us! And it was fantastic! The theatre is 150 years old and gorgeous. We couldn't take our eyes off the...

We found this charming gem and it did not disappoint! Such a cute museum and through Ireland's history of Leprechauns. Our guide was great and she made the tour so much fun and engaging for all of us!
