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!

About 100 steps to reach...

This was very disappointing, but o...

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

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...
