Yes, the guys are spoiled for choice with the many, many, many stag do options in Ireland. So how do the best men (and their sidekicks) make sure everyone has hours of fun, not just the groom? We combed all the options to pick the widest variety for your consideration, covering everything from classy whiskey tasting to crazy army-style assault course. The perfect stag do is one of these.
Mondello Park
What could be better for an unforgettable stag do than Ireland’s only International Race Circuit? Almost every groom we’ve ever met (and all their mates too) has confessed a desire to get behind a wheel of a supercar and live out the racer fantasy. This is exactly what Mondello Park offers, and many more other stag do options in Ireland. If it’s pure adrenalin you’re after, this is the place.
Pallas Karting and Paintball
Pallas Karting and Paintball are Finalists in the weddingsonline Awards 2018 as a top hen and stag supplier of the year. They wouldn’t have earned the accolade if they didn’t throw absolutely amazing stag parties. This isn’t a kids’ game – their karting centre is the largest in Europe, and that means miles of exhilarating fun, speeding along, squealing around sharp bends, and showing off your speeding skills. Book an afternoon of healthy competition, and someone will stand on the podium.
The other famous Pallas activity is paintballing. There’s a minimum eight people per team requirement, so it’s perfect for groups. Four unique battle zones will have everyone running and sweating like in real combat, and if your group is feeling particularly competitive, the staff will give tactical training on how to win a paintball battle. For a group craving action-packed adventure, this is the right place to be.
