Not only is there mochas and lattes in plentiful supply for mums and dads (bliss), the lovely people at Dundrum have also laid on a packed schedule of frightfully fun events and treats for little visitors.
Most importantly, they open at 9am (ideal for early risers) and everything stays open until 9pm midweek (perfect for a stroll after dinner when it's raining outside). On weekends the action continues until 7pm.
Here's a selection of upcoming events to add to your calendar...
