Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visiting the club was the highlight of our Dublin trip for us: It was fascinating to dive into the history of the Gaelic Games and their significance. And it was incredibly fun to play Hurling Gaelic Football and Gaelic Handball. Many, many thanks for this perfect stay at the club!

We attended Experience Gaelic Games in Dublin as part of a friends weekend away. The whole morning was incredible and we all had great fun. Paul and Liam were great instructors who not only taught us the rules to the games but also the history of the sports and it's place in Irish culture. We all throughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this to anyone. The location is easy to get to for anyone staying in Dublin city centre. We enjoyed the experience that much we bought tickets to watch a live GAA game the following day.

Miles was just amazing! You have to do it 200 %. It is more complex than you think. And an amazing experience. It is a must to do!!! We had the chance to see a game after the "class". And we are not just in love with that amazing sport. It should be an international sport. Those athletes are amazing!! Thank you again for the super experience. We will always remember you!!

Whole family had a great time. We had a six-year old, nine-year old, and two adult parents. Was a great time and would highly recommend this.

We did this experience as part of a stag do. It was great fun! The sports were challenging, but the coaches' explanations helped us pick things up quickly. They also shared a little bit about the history and why the Gaelic Games are important to Ireland, which I wasn't expecting, but that was really good too!

Our family, which included 3 children ages 7-11, had an epic experience with Steven at GAA in Galway. Steven was a patient and fun teacher who offered us the basics of both hurling and Gaelic football. We highly recommend this experience!

This day with Stephen at Liam Mellows was a high point for our 11-day Ireland adventure! My mom (74 yo), myself (49 yo) and daughters (20,16) all had a blast! Stephen introduced us to the Irish sports of hurling and Gaelic football. We practiced some drills both inside and outside the facility. I highly recommend this outing for anyone interested in sports. It was very interesting to learn about these games and super fun to practice our skills! Thanks Stephen!

A thoroughly fantastic stag do activity!
We visited Experience Gaelic Games in July 2023 as part of a stag do. From start to finish, the experience was perfect for a group of our size, with a nice amount of feedback and learning involved but without dampening the fun! The video at the start was a great way to introduce the sports and the amount of time spent getting stuck in made it excellent value for money! Above all else, the staff were exceptional! They could not have been nicer to us, and I felt they were genuinely happy to have us there. Couldn’t recommend this experience enough!!!

We did the gaelic games experience on the second day of a stag do so initially enthusiasm from the lads was a bit low after a big night before, but the fun of the experience soon turned things around! The hosts were really welcoming, great fun and their enthusiasm for the gaelic games was really infectious. Everyone agreed that it was a great activity to help overcome the hangovers! I'd thoroughly recommend it.
