Only in Ireland
Across the river from Dvblinia is the National Leprechaun Museum (

)
, which
despite it's high-sounding name is really just a romper room for kids with a little bit of
Irish folklore thrown in for good measure. The optical illusion tunnel (which makes you
appear smaller to those at the other end), the room full of oversized furniture, the wishing
wells and, invariably, the pot of gold, are especially appealing for little ones.
Doll & Teddy-Bear Hospital
On the 2nd floor of the Powerscourt Townhouse Shopping Centre is the
Dolls Store

(Powerscourt Townhouse Shopping Centre; 10am-6pm Mon-Sat)
, which sells all kinds
of dolls and doll houses, but should your little one's doll or teddy get 'ill', this is also the
home of Ireland's only doll and teddy-bear hospital.
Wide, Open Spaces
While it's always good to have a specific activity in mind, don't forget Dublin's parks -
from St Stephen's Green (

to the Phoenix Park

, the city has plenty of green spaces for the kids to run wild in.
