Kids 5-12 may join and hear animated whiskey history, but content is adult-centric, no play area, and they must sit quietly while adults taste; only soft drinks available.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: A 1-2 hour guided tour covers the history and tasting without overwhelming young children.
Classic Guided Tour:
Follow a guide through four historic rooms tracing the timeline of Irish whiskey.
Tip: Reserve tickets online to secure family spots and meet at least 10 minutes early.
Soft Drinks at McDonnell’s Bar:
Kids enjoy soft drinks while adults try whiskey flights overlooking Trinity College.
Tip: Order a fruit cooler for kids and pick a high seat by the window for the view.
Free Audio Guides:
Use the complimentary multi-language audio guides to help older kids follow the story.
Tip: Choose a language your child knows and bring headphones if you have them.
Vintage Bottle Photo Stop:
Take family photos among the museum’s display of antique whiskey bottles.
Tip: Capture shots in the first room where natural light highlights the glass.
The museum stays open year-round. Summer afternoons are busiest—book tours ahead. Winter weekdays are quieter and cozier.

We had a really fun and interesting experience! We did the Premium Tour with the tasting, and it was absolutely worth it. Andrew was a fantastic guide – knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Brien was hilarious and informative. He kept us smiling and laughing. The history was interesting and after having done the Jameson Tour earlier in the week, it was a nice refresher of how whiskey is made and a richer history of the process in Ireland. Thank you for the memories!

I am not really a whiskey lover, but I had a fabulous time! Our guide, Daniel, was lovely and also very funny. The tour goes by quickly a then, of course you get to taste some "live water" as they say. Might be a bit touristic, but I would definitely recommend it, because it is not as expensive as other atractions and you actually learn something new.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the Irish Whiskey Museum! It was much more than just a tasting — it was a journey through Irish history, culture, and storytelling. We laughed, we listened, we tasted, and at times we were genuinely moved by the stories behind the whiskey. It was the kind of experience that stays with you. A very special thank you to our incredible guide — a true star! She w...
