When you live in a country that has long cold wet winters, outdoor activities are not always possible. So what to do during those winter months? Bowling! Bowling like golf, is not particularly strenuous and is a game that can be enjoyed either in a group or individually. Most bowling alleys typically offer early bird specials, or some sort of senior citizen discount so why not get a few of your friends together and start a weekly bowling league, you'll surprise yourself with how enjoyable it is.

Activities for the Elderly - Garden Walks
Garden walks are wonderful activities for seniors who want to experience quiet environments, while enjoying nature. This is especially true for beautiful spring, or autumn days. Many parks offer guided garden walks through botanical gardens and in Dublin the Botanical Gardens have a super website detailing all that is coming up. In Wicklow we have the lovely Kilmacurragh Arboretum, the world famous Powerscourt Gardens and the stunning Mount Usher Gardens.
Get out those walking shoes and flora/fauna books, make the most of the gorgeous summer weather and go enjoy Mother Nature.

Activities for the Elderly - Museums/Exhibitions
One venue for seniors to certainly realize discounts when they went to enjoy an afternoon in town, is at museums and exhibitions. Most museums have days that are free, or senior discounts that apply during the week. This enables a senior who is interested in the arts and culture to enjoy a refined afternoon out at their favorite museum at a reduced cost. Many museums not only offer exhibitions, but they also have an area for people to enjoy a refreshing lunch. This is a wonderful activity for seniors take advantage of if they want to learn, and to be entertained indoors.
