How Baby-Friendly is Dublinia?

71%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 71% Baby-Friendly: Lifts and free baby-change rooms allow stroller access, yet loud demos, narrow corners, and a 96-step tower limit comfort, and there is no private nursing room, so plan extra breaks.

Reviews4.5/ 5
(from 6,762 reviews)

Positives:

  • Stroller-friendly access: All main galleries are accessible by lift and wide enough for most pushchairs.
  • Baby-change facilities: Baby-change tables are available in the accessible toilets on each exhibition floor.
  • Complimentary baby admission: Babies under 2 often enter free—confirm your baby’s rate at the ticket desk.

Challenges:

  • Noisy or dark demos: Living History sessions can be loud or dimly lit—bring ear protection and watch from the entrance.
  • Long standing tours: 40–60 minute guided tours require standing room only—opt for self-guided exploring with a baby.
  • Tower climb unsuitable: The 96-step Synod Hall tower has no lift and is not stroller-friendly—skip this with a baby.

We had a lot of fun in this place. This is a great place to take small kids, see a bit of history, and most importantly, interact with a bunch of things. Try out a few costumes, gear and play around the various statues and setups. Most other tourist attractions wont let you touch or play around, so this place was a big hit with our 6 year old!

We visited with our citygo pass. It is s very interactive experience to learn about the vikings. If you have school age kids this would be a great place to visit with them. There are many things to manipulate. Even a spot where you can try writing your name in the language of the vikings. This is a self guided tour that you walk thru. There is a tower you can climb. About 100 steps to reach...

This was very disappointing, but o...

We went to the viking museum, Dublinia with a group, we didn't book up front, but that was no problem. It wasn't very busy, so we were allowed in and even received a group discount.

I like the fact we were allowed to touch many things, making the museum very inte...

Absolutely loved it! Worth the money! The experience was quite interactive and you get to learn a lot of interesting facts about vikings, medieval Dublin and diseases from back then. Additionally, you get to take home some free souvenirs, like a secret rune message of your own design. At the end, you can also climb up to a tower where you get to see all of Dublin. They also have a wheelchair acces...
