Phoenix Park is a must-see if you're visiting Dublin. It's easy to access via bus or on foot, and it's the home of some my greatest childhood memories. Of course you can enjoy the green nature as an adult, but nothing will top my memories of playing in their massive playground as a child. If you're in Dublin, and you want to tire out some kids, here's your answer.
