February mid-term break is almost here! Whether it is a two-day or a week-long break, it makes for the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your kids.
As the days get longer, it’s time to get the kids out of the house, swap screens for screams, and head outdoors to keep them occupied. We bet you don’t want your kids saying those three words, “I AM BORED!” Luckily, there’s lots to do in and around Cork during the February mid-term break. All you have to do is plan it right!
And we’re here to help you along. Our Zipit Adventure Park in Co. Cork is based in Farran Park, so we’re perfectly situated to give you plenty of ideas for things to. We’ve compiled a list of 5 family-friendly mid-term break activities for a fun day out with kids below. And if you have any questions for us about our treetop courses, just get in touch!
