In bygone days, museums and art galleries were places that children were hardly seen, never mind heard. All that has changed as cultural attractions becoming more aware of the importance of appealing to all ages and offering more family-friendly activities.

In this spirit, this summer, museums, galleries, and attractions across Cork have come together to turn the city into a playground, creating a Playful Culture Trail, featuring 30 cultural locations and green spaces for children and families to explore.
