Places with a changing table in Dublin

A fully inclusive playground that regularly earns 'best playground ever' from five-year-olds: giant climbing domes, disc-shaped climbing webs, a kid-powered carousel, xylophones, adaptive swings, and permanent shade canopies over everything.

Dublin's free splash park next to The Wave waterpark: a big, open spray ground for hot Tri-Valley afternoons, with the rest of Emerald Glen's fields and paths around it for drying off.

The Hacienda Crossings family standby, with a real kids menu, a dog-friendly patio and comfort food across the board.

Hibachi with flying knives, the onion volcano choo-choo, and fire tricks at the grill while dinner cooks in front of the kids. Dinner and a show in one seating.

East Coast-style thin crust with a standing Tuesday deal: kids eat free with an adult meal from 5pm. Make Tuesday the new pizza night.
