Sick of sitting around the house bored out of your mind? Then why not check out these three Action Packed activities located around Ireland…

If you fancy getting out of the house for a day to do something that you won’t forget in a hurry, then these awesome activities will most definitely leave you wanting more with thanks to MSL.

1. Get in touch with your inner animal at Fota Wildlife Park  

Did you know that Fota Wildlife Park is a joint project between the Zoological Society of Ireland and UCC and the idea for the zoo was originally conceived in the 1970s by former Director of Dublin Zoo, Dr. Terry Murphy?

The zoo has been open since 1983 and it recently underwent a significant redevelopment of facilities, so if you haven’t been there since you were a kid then you probably won’t even recognise the place.

There’s plenty to see and do at Fota and prices for adult tickets start from just €14.50. For more info on times and prices, head over here.

2. Enjoy all the sights, sounds and free stuff at Culture Night

Culture Night is an annual all-island public event that celebrates culture, creativity and the arts of Ireland and, this year, it will take place on Friday 19th September.

There are hundreds of events taking place all over the country, from art expos to readings, and there’s even a unique chance to have a specialised talk with the Guinness Archivists at St. James’ Gate in Dublin.

To find out exactly what’s going on in your area, check out the Culture Night website.

3. Go for a tour like no other with a Classy Trike Tour

Enjoy all the sights of the South-East with a classy trike tour from, well, Classy Trike Tours. Not only will you get to see some of the best sights that Ireland has to offer, you’ll also enjoy an exhilarating ride on the back of a custom trike.

There are a range of tours to chose from and Classy Trike Tours will even cater for special occasions too. If you have a special request, just give them a ring to see if they can help with your needs. For more info on Classy Trike Tours, head over here.
