Questions people ask
What is there to do in Limerick?
How is indoors or outdoors decided?
Does with kids mean it is suitable for my child?
What does it cost, and when is it open?
How do you get to Limerick?
Places are OpenStreetMap records and each links to the one it came from. Indoors, outdoors and with kids are worked out from what kind of place a thing is, not from tags on it, because the tags exist on almost none of them. Visit lengths are a default for each kind. Distances are straight lines from the centre of Limerick.
