Picture the scene. You’re trying to plan a summer escape that doesn’t involve arguments over screens, suspicious car snacks, or someone crying because they left their favourite teddy bear at a motorway petrol station.

Enter the Gleneagle, Killarney’s ultimate one-stop shop for family holidays that don’t end with someone shouting ‘I need a holiday from this holiday!’

This summer, the Gleneagle isn’t just offering a family-friendly stay, it’s offering family fame and fabulousness, complete with actual dinosaurs and hero pups. Yes, you read that right.

The Gleneagle Arena is transforming into an epicenter of roars and rescues, with Jurassic Wild taking to the stage on August 23rd and 24th, followed by Paw Patrol Live on September 20th and 21st.

Kids will scream (in delight). Grown-ups will cry (with joy). And somewhere, a T-Rex will boogie. Probably.

It’s the kind of summer line-up that makes the Gleneagle the Beyoncé of Irish family holidays – total superstar status.

You could be watching life-size dinosaurs or cartoon heroes stomp dramatically across the stage, before heading back to your family suite with the little ones fast asleep, dreaming of prehistoric pets and superhero puppies.

Meanwhile, you’re tucked up with a well-deserved cuppa (or, let’s be honest, wine), basking in the glory of being the holiday-planning legend that you are.

‘But do they have stuff for kids?’ you may ask… Oh sweet, gentle reader…

Not only does the Gleneagle roll out the red carpet for your tiny VIPs, but they also lay down the inflatable castles, the kids’ clubs (during peak times), and enough activities to wear them out so thoroughly, bedtime becomes a gentle suggestion rather than a battlefield.

From the minute your family walks through the doors, you’re not just hotel guests, you’re part of the show.

The warm welcomes, the buzzing atmosphere, the gorgeous food (even for picky eaters), the comfy rooms that fit families of every size, it’s all part of the magic.

The Gleneagle is proof that you don’t have to choose between luxury and Lego footprints on your hotel room carpet. You can have both.

Whether it’s a quick family day out or a full weekend of memory-making mischief, the Gleneagle is the place where all your worlds come together.

It’s one world for your worlds and we’re pretty sure that includes the prehistoric ones and the animated ones too.

So, what are you waiting for? That inflatable raptor isn’t going to pose for selfies with itself!

Big laughs. Little moments. One great family break awaits.
