Lismore Heritage Centre
The Family Fun Experience
The Lismore Family Fun Experience allows mums, dads and kids big and small to explore Lismore in a hugely fun and interactive way. With tricky clues to solve and questions to answer as well as flowers, trees and bugs to hunt everyone will have to roll up their sleeves and work together. The Family Fun Experience is part nature trail, part treasure hunt and a total boredom buster for those long summer days. Family Fun packs can be picked up from the Heritage Centre at any time for just €10
The Lismore Experience and Town Tours: kids go free!
The Lismore Experience audio visual presentation is a wonderful introduction to Lismore’s fascinating history that also suggests interesting places to visit in the town and area.

Children’s Camps
Mochuda Camp is Lismore Heritage Centre’s summer camp for boys and girls aged 5 – 12 years old. Mochuda Camp is held each July for two weeks. A wonderful mix of arts and crafts, games, science, drama and all the fun we can imagine fill our days at Mochuda Camp. Every day at Mochuda Camp comes with its very own theme and activities to suit. Our campers have tried Alice in Chocoland, Sense and Nonsense Science, Wacky Wednesday, the Pyjama Party and lots of others.
Halloween Camp: For four days each Halloween mid-term break Lismore Heritage Centre becomes a haven for ghosts, ghouls and grisly girls and boys. All the best bits of summer camp are given a seasonal twist so if you like ghastly games, spooky science and abominable art then this is the place for you!
Easter Camp: the newest kid on the block, Lismore Heritage Centre held its first Easter Camp in 2011. It was a big hit and will be back for the Easter holidays in 2012. Bunnies, chicks, eggs and sweet treats spring into all our activities for four days of creative capers.
