The year the CLAPAI Family Day outing has been organised to visit Dublin Zoo and McKee Barracks. It will take place on Satuday, 13th June. In Dublin Zoo we can look forward to themed guided tours, such as the “Rain Forest Tour” and the “New African Safari Tour” for both the junior and the older children in our group.
Following our visit to Dublin Zoo, we will then walk to the adjacent McKee Barracks for lunch. Following lunch the army have organised for us to visit their Equestrian Centre. We really hope you can join us on the 13th June for a great free day out and also take the opportunity to meet up and chat with other families.
