    Fun experience but a bit overpriced.

    I would have given this place (which had been stated before, is not a museum) 5 stars if not for the price. We took the dark land tour and were guided through a couple of well designed rooms where a guide told us 3 stories...More

    Great Hangover Cure

    If you're into stories and slightly hungover this place is great! You get to climb on things, learn about Irish mythology and to be honest I guess you need a sense of humour. Highly recommend and Karen (was her last day though) was brilliant.

    As many other reviews suggest - this is definitely not a museum. There is a small hallway with some quirky pieces and that’s the museum. This is more of a folklore experience. I do think it’s a bit pricey for what it offers. Nonetheless, we...More

    We went yesterday with our 9 year old girl and 5 year old boy. It’s roughly an hour’s guided story experience which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Some great family photo opportunities and the children were enthralled with the atmospheric storytelling. The staff were excellent as...More

    Unique if Pricey

    Not really a museum - my kids agree it should be "museum and story centre". We have done Shrek and Dungeons in the UK so they love the moving from room to room. The centre is beautifully made and we loved the stories and Eleanor...More

    I quite enjoyed my visit to the National Leprechaun Museum. I love stories of myths and legends and I enjoyed hearing about the darker side of faeries. Emily was our guide and I liked her enthusiasm. We were a small group of only 3 so...More
