- Erica AnnNew York City, New York166 contributionsAn amazing experience touring Croke Park.An amazing experience touring Croke Park. My tour guide was warm, welcoming, funny and highly informative. We toured the locker rooms, walked the field, even experienced the corporate clubhouse. This is a must when in DublinVisited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 6 December 2022
- SJ_KKCork, Ireland33 contributionsTop quality tourismThis was brilliant, I have to say. It’s a tour that’s been on our list for a number of years now and to be honest, it exceeded our expectations. We did the 11am tour, and even though there was lots of activity due to the ladies club football all irelands, we loved the behind the scenes feel. Our guide was AMAZING. I didn’t catch her name, but she was brilliant at explaining everything in a way that it landed well for both the Irish GAA fans and foreign visitors alike. A wonderful insight into this amazing stadium. Put it on the list if your in Dublin. It takes around 2.5 hours to do the tour and museum. Well done Croke Park, good job!Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 11 December 2022
- KeithMaddenAmsterdamAmsterdam, The Netherlands21 contributionsStadium tour Croke ParkBrilliant experience overall. Learned even more about the history and culture of Ireland. Was fascinating to hear about the founding of Hill 16 and cultural background to one of Irelands most famous stadiums in the history of our country! As an avid Kerry fan have been to Croke park countless times and seen Sam being lifted too, even with a famous Jig by a famous Kerryman. The highs, the lows, more enjoyment than anywhere I have visited. Nothing better than seeing your team lift Sam in front of over 82 thousand people up the those famous steps. Memories I will certainly cherish forever more and hopefully more to come! A great thing to do for families and couples, plenty of Irish History learned.Visited January 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 December 2022

- Gretta MAthlone, Ireland23 contributionsVery enjoyable tourI did the GAA Stadium tour today. Our guide was a lovely lady called Annette. It really was a great experience. Annette was very knowledgeable and had a great knack of encouraging questions and banter among our group. She showed us all the backstage areas of the stadium - dressing rooms, tunnels, press area etc. It gave a lovely insight into a big match day from the players perspective.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 March 2023
- Rob PPittsburgh, Pennsylvania274 contributionsVery educational and funI had very little knowledge of Gaelic sports. This tour and the museum were a wonderful surprise. The tour was awesome. our young guide was very polished and very knowledgeable. We got to see a lot of behind the scenes parts of the stadium, including the locker room. We coved the entire stadium from field level to the press area. The museum is very well done. An educational video is a must as it explained the history of Bloody Sunday which was right in this stadium. The interactive section was fun. I got to try hitting the ball. A test of my reaction time was failed miserably. I highly recommend this tour and the museum, even if you know nothing about these sports.Visited May 2023Travelled soloWritten 10 May 2023

Fantastic tour. We had two great and enthusiastic guides. Seamus and ?? They clearly love the GAA. We were in the dressing rooms, the media room, got to go pitch-side and walk up the steps to hold the winning cup. Lots of information given and a bit of banter had with all.

Fantastic insight into Irish history as well as the sporting history. Stadium was magnificent and kids loved being able to run up the steps and lift the Liam MCarthy cup.
Our guide Evan made the tour for us, he was aware of all the different mix of people on the tour from the kids to locals to tourists and adapted parts of the tour accordingly. He is a great asset to Croke Park.

This tour has a good balance of sport and history of this very impressive venue. Covers all the aspects that you would hope to see from the changing rooms, media, hospitality, pitch and stands. There’s some great displays and films in the museum and also some good activities for children. Cafe does brilliant coffee and is well priced with friendly staff.

The stadium is impressive but the staff really make this experience. The tour guides are super knowledgeable and friendly, and explain everything well for an international audience that perhaps don't know much (or anything) about the GAA and Irish sports. The tour takes in all the important areas like the changing rooms, pitchside and great views from the stands, whilst the museum is just the right size to be able to get around without getting bored or overwhelmed. Highly recommend if you're a sports fan visiting Dublin.

We were a family group of 5.
We had 1 t1 diabetic and our tour guide John could not have been nicer or more accommodating.
He was friendly and had an extensive knowledge of the GAA&croke park.
For someone like myself who is not into sport I really enjoyed it.
Great family day out.
Great cafe too&staff are very professional and friendly.
I would highly recommend the tour.

Do you go into the stands as part of the tour? If so, does the guide take the tour on to the Hill 16 terraces?

Hi, as part of our tour we went to the Hogan stand/ press area and got to see inside some of the corporate boxes. We did not go to Hill 16. Hope this helps! Michelle

the Stadium tour takes you to the dressing rooms, through the players tunnel, into the VIP seats, into the press box. We also got to see a private box and the green room where performers hang out before concerts.
The skyline tour, you walk from one side of the stadium roof to another while stopping to look at the views of Dublin and hearing about the history

Yes, I believe you would be fine. We did not go up and down stairs when we were going to the different levels, we used an escalator. There were some stairs in getting to the viewing stands, but there would be an elevator also - the facility is very modern and is accessible. You don't have to book the tour ahead of time, the tour times are on the website. But I think it would be a good idea to arrive 30 mins early, and discuss with the guide exactly what your limits might be, and they can then look after you. Irish people are very friendly and helpful, so I believe they will look after you. We did sit and listen to the guide about 4 or 5 different times, we were not on our feet the whole time. Hope this helps,

Hi not the right forum but hoping you can help, I have lucky dip tickets for the rolling stones concert but cant figure out where you are supposed to pick them up and opening/closing times of the the pick up place, Im assuming its the ticketmaster office bbut assumptions usually lead to disasters :). Thanks.

There is hardly any parking at the stadium when an event is going on. I would park just north of Liffey around O'Connell st as there are a number of reasonable parking lots (suggest Clery's Q-Park ) then take taxi to North Circular Rd and Russell St this is where Gardia block traffic getting any closer to stadium from there its about a 300 yard walk taxi cost for 3 of us euro 12 each way, If you are coming from Belfast by train it might be easier to go train to taxi to stadium. Sorry don't know anything about ticketmaster pickup the Gaelic Football tickets we had were print at home and bring to stadium.
