Dublin with two young kids

[Deleted]

Any ideas for us that are outside the normal tourist stuff? Kids are 4 and 15 months. The 4 year old is a decent walker, we might even bring his scooter, and I can use a light umbrella stroller or carrier with the 15 month old.

We've been to Dublin before and have done a few things on the tour bus routes like Guinness factory, Trinity College, walked around St. Stephen's Green (will take kids there again for a run around for sure this time). Haven't seen Kilmainnen (sp?) jail or Dublin Zoo.

Also, we would love to visit an easy to get to castle for my older one.

Restaurant recommendations also welcome for places that are easy with kids. BTW, we are Canadians that live in the UK so this is a long weekend trip, not jet lag to deal with. We are staying in City Centre.

They might like the Viking tour if you are up for another bus tour. You get to wear Viking hats and roar at the other Viking buses you pass. Fun.

Every Irish school child ends up going to Dublinia at some point. It's a Medieval/Viking Dublin reenactment museum with hands-on exhibits. www.dublinia.ie/

As a kid, I loved the national wax museum. But if you live in London, I'm sure Madame Tousad's is much better.
