Dig up a skeleton this May bank holiday weekend

Kerry County Museum is offering a special family fun activity this Bank holiday weekend. Children can get their hands dirty and become ‘bone investigators’. In our new interactive dig experience children can excavate a skeleton and other replica objects - a truly hands-on experience. Simply drop in any time between 11am – 1pm and 2pm-4pm this Bank holiday weekend; there is no need to book. The dig takes about 15-30minutes and is suitable for children ages 4-12. There is no need to book. While the children are busy, parents can explore our new interactive gallery about the archaeology of medieval Tralee. Normal admission rates apply (adults €5 / children go free)
