Brilliant experience! After years playing GAA I managed to find time to take a tour around the museum and it did not disappoint. Our tour guide Seán was fantastic and knew more about the GAA than anyone I've ever met, and he's only been a tour guide for a matter of months! Spectacular.
The museum itself was breathtaking and is something everyone can reap enjoyment from whether from home or abroad. Wonderful experience overall, 10/10.

Cian our tour guide made the tour for us. He was outstanding with the kids and pitched information at just the right level. He was great for allowing time for questions and gave plenty of facts and information but knew the right time to move the group on. We had a wheelchair user as part of our group and he was super attending to her needs.

I cannot say which part was my favourite as I enjoyed it all. Have been to hundreds of games in Croke Park but this experience was fantastic. Our guide (forgot his name but he is from Clare) was very enthusiastic and extremely informative. Every question was answered and he was very informative. I havent come across anyone who seems to love their job as much as he did in a long time

Excellent tour!! Sean our stadium tour guide was exceptional! He had a great in depth knowledge of the GAA and answered any questions we had. He was so enthusiastic and I learned so many new little facts about Croke Park that I always wondered as a spectator. Ger took us on the Skyline Tour which again was a great experience, he was so knowledgeable about Dublin and had a few jokes along the way! We got to ponder the GAA museum afterwards which also had fun interactive elements. 10/10. All in all I couldn’t recommend it enough. Luimneach Abú!

The tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and gave a good balance of history and current information. The weather was awful but the GAA kindly gave us ponchos. The views were great and it was brilliant to see Dublin from a different angle.

I brought my nephew up from Mayo today to do the tour. I haven't done the tour since I was in 6th class around 15/16 years ago. It was thoroughly enjoyable and very informative of the history of the GAA. Our tour guide Ger was top class and mighty craic altogether. Definitely a 5 out of 5 rating. Anyone looking for something to pass a couple of hours it's definitely worth doing!

Had a very informative and interesting tour with Alan. He was very knowledgeable. It was difficult to find the way in at first but found it down a road with a shop on the end. The stadium is very big. The museum is very interesting as well. Highly recommend.

Completed the Tour last week while entertaining an American Friend. Was Guided around the old stadium by Annette, a fantastic Kildare woman who similar to myself is hoping for a big win her next Sunday in the Leinster Championship. She also is extremely knowledgeable going through the history of all the stands, showing all the interesting Rooms and areas of the stadium. Loved every second of it!
Its an interactive tour, there's Gaelic Games simulation for you to try out your skills. Needless to say I won't be playing county anytime soon!

My parents were visiting from Australia and we decided to do the tour as we’re all big sports fans. The tour was very interesting as we didn’t know much about GAA sports or Croke Park, and we walked away near experts! But it was our lovely guide Annette that made the day brilliant! She was extremely welcoming and warm, was more than happy to answer any questions anyone had, and was very knowledgeable and informing. She is a lovely lady and if you’re lucky enough to get her as your guide you won’t be disappointed!
The GAA museum is also fascinating and I would highly recommend visiting after the tour. There’s a huge amount to see including exhibits from Bloody Sunday.
All in all it is a must see when visiting Dublin.

We did the tour with Annett who welcomed us very well and did her best to make sure we had a great time. The tour was in English but the guide took the time to speak slowly so it was easy to understand. The museum is interesting and interactive with some initiation to Gaelic sports. We highly recommend this visit.

What does the skyline tour includes? And the non-skyline.
Also, is there any bathrooms along the way?
Thanks

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,

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.

The stadium is situated across from the hotel, an overnight stay here would be a nice treat. However there is so much to do and see in Dublin as well as the Croke Park tour. Maybe a city central hotel would suit better as to experience more of the Irish culture.
Raddison or Jury’s hotels are central, and a short inner city bus journey/taxi to the stadium.
Best wishes, enjoy your trip!
