Ireland itinerary check: Galway → Wexford → Dublin with a toddler

Hi from Atlanta!

I’m planning a family trip to Ireland from June 23 - July 1, 2027 with my wife, our 2.5 year-old, and my parents.

Current plan:

• June 23: Fly into Shannon, pick up a rental car, drive to Galway
• June 24–26: Galway and surrounding areas/day trips*
• June 27: Drive to Wexford
• June 28: Wedding in Wexford
• June 29: Drive to Dublin
• June 30: Dublin
• July 1: Fly to Scotland

The wedding date is fixed, so we’re mainly trying to make the rest of the route work around it.

Does this itinerary feel reasonable, especially with a toddler? Would you change the amount of time in Galway, Wexford, or Dublin, or does anything here feel unnecessarily rushed?

I’ve heard from friends that about two days in Dublin is enough and that we should devote more time to Galway, but I’d love to hear other perspectives.

*Also happy to hear suggestions for worthwhile day trips from Galway.
