Rainy Day Activities in Galway

Here are our favourite things to do on a rainy day with young kids (actually you could do them on sunny days and with older kids as well!)

1. Visit the Aquarium then pop into Arabica for babychinos and honey bagels afterwards (Baby changing facilities available)
2. Go for a Swimming Expedition - Leisureland, Kingfisher Club at NUIG & Renmore and Carlton Hotel all have public swim times (don’t forget the snacks for afterwards)
3. Park the car at the Galway Shopping Centre, Headford Road, let them ride the carousels if younger, visit Poundstretchers for cheap treats, then stop by Supermacs for a special treat. Finish up at the soft play at Leisureworld. (Baby changing facilities available)
4. Visit Charlie Byrne’s on Middle Street for their top-notch kids books section followed by either drinks and nibbles in the café behind the bookshop or lunch in child-friendly Milano’s (Baby changing facilities available in Milano’s for patrons)
5. For kids that are old enough, take in a Matinee at the Eye Cinema or Omniplex in Galway or Oranmore
