Dublinia

Give a nice insight of Dublin's past. The two highlights for me were the tower which give amazing views across the city and the bridge across to Christchurch. Tower is particularly impressive including (and be warned) the 100 or more steps it takes to reach the top. There is a nice shop and cafe on the 3rd floor. This building was a Synott Hall and having attended a talk on the top floor auditorium the roof there would be as much of an attraction as anything.

This is a really interesting and absorbing interactive experience, great for children of all ages and adults due to the life-like models, clothing and sets and the three floors which focus on different aspects of Viking Dublin. We spent two hours there and my kids, 11, 9 and 6 couldn't get enough of it! I would highly recommend it! The spell jar making is cute for very young kids but it is misleading to refer to it as a workshop...older kids who are into stones, gems, herbology and properties of such might be disappointed.

An excellent historical museum providing a lot of information about the history of Dublin and the history of Europe. Make sure you join the free tour at 11am which lasts about 30 to 40 mins. After the tour you'll need another hour or even two hours to see the entire museum. And don't forget to do the climb to the top of the tower for the great view of the city.

Hello, we went to Dublinia on Thursday at one o'clock, a group of us, to do a tour of the museum. What a great time we had, such information, lovely exhibits covering all age groups. We were fascinated watching the development of Dublin and how the Vikings, learning things like that. It's the biggest Viking graveyard outside of Scandinavia with, I think it's 80% of Viking graves are within Dublin and it's amazing. There was just so much to see and then obviously through the centuries as Dublin developed. Very good. Ivan and myself in costume settling a point of order. 😎

We had a lot of fun in this place. This is a great place to take small kids, see a bit of history, and most importantly, interact with a bunch of things. Try out a few costumes, gear and play around the various statues and setups. Most other tourist attractions wont let you touch or play around, so this place was a big hit with our 6 year old!

I loved this museum/tower with an awesome view of Dublin when I went atop the watch tower. There are multiple levels, each a specific period or time in Dublin's history. There are interactive screens and a reproduction of an old hovel house.

Fun museum! Full of history with lots of visual and interactive exhibits so great for adults and children. This is great for learning about Viking history and the period AD 800-1600. Lovely cafe on the top floor and great views from the tour.

This museum was wonderful! Very well curated and has an excellent chronological flow to it. The layout is very efficient and the information boards give great, detailed explanations. I would highly recommend this to all!
