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.

- JoB12 contributionsVery lovely place, nice to see all the flowers and the pictures we got there were very cool. mellow walk and near the ChurchesWritten 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rac CKnoxville, TN108 contributionsReally enjoyed this free and interesting museum. All self guided but very good displays and history of the artifacts. The bog bodies and jewelry from the neolithic time were fascinating. So many items to view. Tell a good story of Ireland's history through archaelogy.Written 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jxx9595Washington, DC1,376 contributionsThis area can be filled with people or quiet and empty. It all depends when you go and what you want. A stroll in the morning will get you a chance to see it without much interference. Later in the day and into the night, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from, and you can listen to music from various bars as you walk. Very touristy, but that's okay when you are a tourist.Written 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- snoozermooseBoston, MA160 contributionsWhat a wonderful museum! So many treasures are inside, and the exhibitions are beautifully done. We couldn't believe it was all free. The museum staff were also very passionate about their jobs and very helpful in directing us to areas we wanted to see. The cafeteria inside is also top-notch as far as museum cafeterias go. While it might not be top of the list in terms of must-see museums in Dublin for most people, I'd definitely recommend it.Written 29 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
