For our last get together before schools are back, we chose to visit Athenry, Co.Galway. And we had an amazing time there 🤩
We highly recommend Medieval experience in Athenry Heritage Centre for families. There is something for everyone and our adventurers had so much fun dressing up and being part of the history. Big thanks to all the staff for this fun experience! 😊
If you are visiting Athenry, then we suggest you to go and see Athenry Castle as well. Thanks to the guide who welcomed our group and told us all about the history of the castle.
We finished our day with tasty pizzas for lunch (one of squad's favorite food by the way 😉 ) at Stone House - Pizza Bar . Thank you for accommodating us 😊
See you all again soon on our next adventure! 💚
