Eight outdoor activities you can do this week that weren’t permitted last week

As Ireland continues to ease Covid-19 restrictions, your list of available things to do just got a little bit longer from today (Monday, April 26).

Judging by the noises coming out of Government Buildings, it looks like we'll be enjoying another "outdoor summer" this year. Today marks a major milestone on that journey as a number of restrictions begin to ease. We're all awaiting Micheál Martin's next major announcement later this week, but in the meantime, below you'll find a selection of fun things you can now do as restrictions ease from today. Remember, all public health guidlelines remain in place, such as the provision that you can only meet one other household outdoors socially. More information can be found here.

Visit Dublin Zoo

The one that every mam and dad has been waiting for. Tickets have been in high demand but once you get yours, you'll be back in the Phoenix Park's favourite attraction before you know it. Follow this link.

Have a game of golf

After months of practising your swing in the living room, the lush green courses of Ireland are back open again.

Visit Fota Wildlife Park

We've missed the colour and beauty of Fota's residents over the past few months. Get your tickets here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN8JllWJr8u/

Visit Airfield Estate

Back in Dublin, Airfield provides one of the best days out in the city. It reopens on Wednesday, April 28 and you can get your tickets here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNrkmmfMOAa/

Have a game of tennis

How many budding Roger Federers and Serena Williamses have had to put their practice on hold this year? Game, set and match as the courts of Ireland open back up today.

Send the kids back to training

It's great to see underage non-contact outdoor training recommence in pods of up to 15. Just another outlet for kids, many of whom will be very much bored of playing in the garden by now.
