Dublin's only museum specifically aimed at toddlers and children, Imaginosity is a hands-on, interactive experience where kids can learn from and be distracted by a host of activities, including the rocket ship to Rapunzel's castle and climbing into the Wizard's Lair. Take the Luas to Stillorgan, walk up Ballymoss Rd and into the Beacon Shopping Plaza.
