Like others I too was surprised at a museum just for butter. It was interesting but I agree with other reviewers - needs more enthusiasm and a bit of updating perhaps.

Cost 4 euro and to be honest was disappointing. Feel that so much more could have been made of this. Video was Ok. Slightly lengthy but gave the history of Kerrygold. Exhibits were limited and place just lacked enthusiasm. Could have done so much more.
At first, I hesitated about whether I should see this museum or not. It seemed to be no more than a commonplace museum according to the name. I finally decided to go there and see what it was, and I was happily surprised : butter in Cork is full of history! It is worth seeing...
On a wet rainy day popped in here. How can there be a museum to butter? Well it was quite interesting and small with alot of old photographs and a bit of history on butter-making in Cork. Came out thinking it was a bit bizarre, glad I went but would not go again.

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, great history, fantastic relics from the past, I will be taking my visitors here for a day out activity,

I come from a long line of dairy farmers and was captivated throughout my visit. It doesn't take long to see the whole museum, but...

The museum is not that aesthetically pleasing but the whole story is fascinating especially the Bog butter and the butter roads.
I think that the real value of this place is the uniqueness of it. The old videos were great, too, but I don't have much else to say about the displays. Anyhow, I can tell all my friends that I went to a butter museum.
