The 10 best things to do with kids in Sligo

Great ruins of an Abbey. Nice literature for a self-guided tour. Quick stop and worth the time of you're going through Sligo. OPW site, so free if you bought the pass (highly recommend).

Sadly I was only visiting Sligo for the day but was interested to find out about Sligo because my grandparents were born there . I arrived at the museum only ten minutes before it closed at lunchtime! Oh but the lovely kind lady actually gave me two beautiful books as a gift I was so overcome it was incredibly kind of her . I read one book last night absolutely fascinating!! The second book is for my next evening read ! I’m sorry I missed your museum but I promise to return one day !! Thank you so so much !!

Very interesting archeological site, located on an open field. Structures date back to a period 6000-8000 B.C. and are located just outside Sligo, on a rural area. The visitor center is staffed with very helpful people and provides for toilets and an outdoor cafe.

The Greek Yogurt and Honey is the BEST! Tried the Raspberry Cheesecake and the Strawberry Sorbet which were also amazing😍

The Ticket to the Movie World Christian stood in front of the ticket booth of an old cinema, clutching a few coins in his hand. He had dreamed of seeing the movie everyone was talking about—“Lost Worlds.” But unfortunately, all the tickets were sold out. “Well, nothing I can do,” he sighed, ready to leave when he suddenly heard a voice. “Wait, boy!” whispered the cashier, leaning forward slightly. He was an elderly man with gray hair and kind, but slightly mischievous, eyes. “I have a special ticket. Just for you.” The man handed Christian an old paper ticket with a golden pattern. Written on it were the words: “Once in a Lifetime. Entry to Magic.” “What does that mean?” Christian asked, puzzled. “This ticket doesn’t just take you to the cinema,” the man said softly. “It takes you into the movie itself. But be careful. Only you can decide when to come back.” Excited yet a little nervous, Christian agreed. He entered the theater where “Lost Worlds” was showing and found his seat. As soon as the movie began, something unusual happened: the screen glowed brightly, and Christian felt himself being pulled inside. In an instant, he was no longer sitting in the theater. He was standing in the middle of a dense tropical jungle, full of strange sounds and vibrant colors. A small dinosaur-like creature scurried past him, and in the distance, he saw a giant pyramid—just like in the movie trailer. “I’m… in the movie?” he whispered, looking around. From the bushes, a girl, slightly older than him and dressed like an archaeologist, ran out. She stopped abruptly when she saw Christian. “Who are you? You’re not part of our expedition!” she exclaimed. “I’m… a viewer,” Christian stammered, confused. “A viewer? There’s no time for jokes! If you’re here, you’d better help us find the Time Key, or the world will collapse!” Christian realized that in this world, his role was not just to watch but to act. Together with the girl and her team, he embarked on a dangerous journey. They crossed rivers filled with monsters, avoided traps in ancient ruins, and solved puzzles that seemed impossible. At every step, Christian felt that his choices mattered. Once, he saw a massive boulder rolling toward the girl and pushed her aside just in time. Another time, he discovered a hidden inscription that helped them open a secret door. When they finally found the Time Key, the main antagonist appeared—a dark sorcerer who wanted to use the Key’s power to rule the world. “What can you do against me, boy?” the sorcerer laughed. Christian knew what he had to do. He dashed toward the Key and activated it, despite his fear. A brilliant light exploded, and the sorcerer vanished. In the next moment, Christian was back in the cinema. The credits were rolling on the screen. “What just happened?” he whispered, looking at the ordinary ticket in his hand. When the lights came on in the theater, he went to find the cashier. But the man was gone. In his place was only a note: “You did it. The world is yours now. The story continues.” Christian smiled, knowing he would remember this day forever.

I love to be here. I can do all I need without waiting))) and the greatest swimming pool ever )))

It's a great place for kids to spend some energy away from the screen. The owner is kind and an excellent teacher.

Lovely Beach. Great facilities well worth a visit

We really enjoy to walking this area when we went to visit the area during the weekend. The path is very well indicated by different signs and it is easy to walk. The views from here are great and in a sunny clear day, you are able to see the river.
