Rainy Day Activities in Limerick

And another day has come, pouring since morning, getting bored at home? Don’t know what to do with your little monsters to keep them busy?  Looking for Things to Do on Rainy Days? Here are some great ideas to entertain them on those rainy days.

  • Go to the swimming pool with lots of packed food and drinks
  • Make your way to some Indoor play areas like Fun World, Tons of Fun, Kinder Gym or Delta Park.
  • Visit Limerick Arena, the biggest indoor sports facility in the country with four full sized playing courts catering for Basketball, Badminton, Volleyball and Indoor Soccer. 60m, 6 lane indoor sprint track, Health Suite (Sauna, Steam-room). There are lots of classes and activities running there throughout the year.
  • Take in a movie at the Cinema with lots of popcorn and ice creams at The Omniplex (near Crescent shopping centre) or The Storm Cinema (near Castletroy Shopping Centre).

 

  • Check out story telling times and lots of other activities in a library near you for your kids and give yourself time to read good book as well.
  • Have a colouring day. http://www.coloring-book.info/ has a great selection of colouring pages
  • Baking! Go on make biscuits with them, or at the very least Rice Crispie Buns Laughing
  •  A well-stocked arts and crafts cupboard can be a lifesaver on a bad weather day. Make sure to have basic materials such as glue, glitter, coloured cards, markers, crayons, pipecleaners, children's scissors, paints and stickers. Put an oilcloth on the kitchen table or aprons on the kids (or both!) and let their imaginations run riot.
  • Go on a Heritage trail in your area for the day by exploring the Museums and art galleries and heritage centre in your area or visit another area that you haven't been to before.

Last but not least don’t forget to enjoy rain too. Put on your wellies and raincoat, park your car and go for a rainy walk, and jump in those puddles, along the sides of Shannon River or forest walk and afterwards line up somewhere nice to stop for a warm bowl of soup or a nice coffee and a hot chocolate or bambinoccino for the children.

And, if you don’t feel like leaving the house at all, we have some great ideas for entertaining kids at home
