The older we get the more we look forward to doing things that made us happy as children, when we were carefree and had no responsibilities! Kilkenny is a treasure trove for activities for children, helping you to embrace your inner child. Run amok and explore, leave your worries behind while you experience familiar sights and sounds.
Who knows, maybe you’ll find a fall in love with a new hobby and learn to embrace your inner child more often!
Regain that sense of adventure, learn a new skill and take on an exciting hobby at Nuenna Farm Equestrian Centre. Located just outside of the village Freshford, horse riding lessons take place on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, with lessons suitable for people of all ages and of all levels of experience.
Do you remember those days when you would hop on a bus and head away for a school tour to meet the fuzziest, fluffiest animals that you’ve ever seen? Head to Nore Valley Park and relive those cherished memories. Bottle feed baby goats and lambs, get the chance to hold bunnies, guinea pigs and chicks. Hop on the go-carts (like old times) and get the blood flowing as you challenge your friends to an exciting race around the track. Unwind with a game of crazy golf, overlooking the beautiful Nore Valley and appreciate the time catching up with old friends.
Dive into fun under the shadow of the magnificent Kilkenny Castle with Riverbend Adventures. Zip up your wetsuit and make a splash on the River Nore, take part in team-building exercises and engage your muscles to keep yourself afloat while stand-up paddle boarding! You’ll have a great night’s sleep after all of that fun! You know what Irish mammies say “A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything”
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”
Keep yourself young and learn about a fantastic array of creatures big and small at The National Reptile Zoo. Get hands-on experience with the expert keepers, take the opportunity to hold snakes, lizards and maybe even a tarantula! Expand your knowledge of different species and habitats and learn about their conservation efforts in Kilkenny and beyond!
Let us take you back to the days where you grabbed your fishing gear and headed out the door for a peaceful day of fishing. Join Dan from Trout Fishing Ireland on an enriching day in the river and strengthen old skills while learning new techniques. You’re never too old to learn something new!
