Officially renamed in 1965 to John F. Kennedy Memorial Park, Eyre Square is a roughly rectangular…read morepark at the center of Galway. The naming is a tribute to his visit to Galway in June 1963 when he gave a speech here, stating "I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland." https://youtu.be/PqPlxXkcfHo Today, it is a bright and green space. Perfect for a picnic or just sitting on a blanket and watching the double decker buses as they rotate around the square. On the weekend, you can expect market vendor stalls to be set up with trinkets, coffee, pastries and much more. You'll find the sculpture of Pádraic Ó Conaire that was unveiled in 1935. It's a replica because some people suck. [Review 1944 of 2024 - 126 in Republic of Ireland - 22966 overall]

The Burren is a rocky landscape region that you can visit right on your way to the Cliffs of Moher…read more There is even a little outcropping of rocks that they call the Baby Cliffs (looking similar to the Cliffs of Moher but on a much smaller scale). When you're in the Burren, you'll honestly feel like you're in a Brontë novel, with a moorish feeling to the vista around you. We were there on a particularly rainy, cloudy, and foggy day - which added to the brooding nature of this rocky karst environment. You can see the Burren as you drive by/through it just fine, but you'd be doing a disservice to yourself to not step out of the car and smell the petrichor earth around you and see it with your own eyes and not through a window. You can stay longer in the Burren or make it a quick stop on your way to the larger cliffs, but you should definitely make the stop - however long you make it.

Adventure Kingdoms (aka a playground fit for a princess) Huhhh huuhh hugh, wait one minute while I gather myself..... Within 5 minutes of entering Lough Key Forest and Activity Park, I was reduced to the age of 5 years old. There was so much to do and so little time, but I had unfortunately, had made the monumentous mistake of only setting aside an hour or so, to "put a check in the box" beside this local attraction. If I can save just one person the disappointment I felt when (for the 3rd time) my girlfriend tried to usher me out of the park, this review will have been worth it. This is no where near your average park. You could easily spend an entire day, getting lost under the glowing green canopies of the forest or swept up in the romance and history that lingers near the bridges and brooks. Simply put, it has been one of the most beautiful places I've had the pleasure to have visited to date.

We were in Galway, Ireland for a long vacation. A quick Internet search found the Dartfield Horse…read moreMuseum in Loughrea. It's about an hour's drive with traffic. The facility has a Museum, but the real fun is the grounds around it. Think rolling Irish meadows - about 100 acres. They have trails for people that have never ridden before, water play area for the horses, and huge meadows with many jumps. My 16-year-old daughter has been riding for the past 5 years. She was in heaven. She rode Princess, a small white pony. That pony has some moves! She can jump her height. I'm 6'2" and they set me up with "Mr. Big". Cost was approx. $35/hour (the Euro is trading at 1.25/dollar) per rider, plus I gave a 20 Euro tip to our guide.
