Be the captain of your own destiny for the day and get your family to take a barge trip down the Grand Canal.  Travel through 250 years of history, through locks and bridges and stories of times past.

Beginning in Sallins, BargeTrip.ie offers some of the best trip options of various lengths through the beautiful Kildare countryside.

Now there’s an idea for a Bank Holiday!

A post shared by The Kildare Maze (@kildaremaze)

Do what you’ve always wanted – and tell everyone to get lost!  In a maze, we mean of course!  And where better but Leinster’s largest hedge maze just outside Prosperous.

Opened in 2000, but underwent a huge redevelopment in 2012, the Kildare Maze – designed in the shape of a St Brigid’s Cross – is a real family fun day out for all ages.  Other activities include a wooden maze, assault course, crazy golf, zip wire and even a picnic area to take a breather and enjoy a sandwich or seven.

Put the boots on, the screen away and get out in the fresh air.  There’s no better way to bond than out walking! Kildare is rich in many trails, short or lengthy all around the county.

However, we are mentioning the Royal Canal Greenway which is a total of 144kms in length.  Now, we’re not trying to suggest you do it in one day – it’s about bonding, not causing rows!

You can start anywhere along the route, which mostly carries a good transport service as it meanders along mostly flat ground in Maynooth and Kilcock in Kildare.

This is a real family challenge!  Sporty?  You’d want to be here with an array of games to choose from including airsoft combat games, Splatmaster junior paintball, archery tag and an assault course.

Redhills Adventure, not far from Kildare town, is a great option to spend quality family time having fun outdoors.

Get a real taste of outdoor living at Abbeyfield Farm Country Pursuits, just outside Clane.  With quiet country lanes and a full-cross country course over 240 acres, the only puzzle is what to do first.

Will it be clay pigeon shooting, horse trekking, archery or air rifle shooting?  You may need another bank holiday to fit it all in!
