The epic museum was another one of my favorite tourist attractions while in Dublin. For anyone…read morewho's interested in learning more about Irish history and culture this museum is definitely for you. What I really appreciated about the stop is that it's modernized and on the newer side (for a museum) so it does feel much more updated with the technology/exhibits so that it meets modern times. We purchased our tickets in advance, but they also allow you same-day/in person purchases. I don't know if we got lucky the day we came or if they have a cap on how many tickets they sell, but it did feel like the group/people allowed in was buffered, which kept the experience feeling more intimate/less crowded. There is plenty to see and multiple floors to explore so we were easily here three hours walking all about and taking in the different exhibits. My favorite exhibit was where they paid homage to the musical influences and artists of Ireland. I found this section to be the most interesting for me personally and it was well done. Honestly, there was so much to see, you could easily come back a few times to really take it all in. For the price it is worth it and a great way to spend a few hours in Dublin. I would highly recommend stopping here.

I am at the museum as a person who has no idea of Irish history or culture. Everything was new to…read moreme as an Asian-American. If you love history, you will love the epic museum. I accompanied my team for a group social event here that we got to learn so much about Ireland and the people and how much they went through. Also learned about how many Irish people are in the world. Since I am East Asian I am not very familiar with a lot of this in fact, I am probably the first in my family to ever visit Ireland. The museum is set up to be and walk-through at your own pace and you get a little passport that you can stamp to make sure you didn't miss any exhibits and take home as a keepsake for your visit Ireland.

There are some classes, some free weights, some machines and a few treadmills, bikes, etc. Much better than the big shiny corporate gyms with personal trainers strutting about in short shorts!

There are a few restaurants and pubs within walking distance but you're a good 20 min cab ride from Temple Bar or Liffey districts. Our tub took 30 minutes to drain after we were done taking a shower. On the plus side; the breakfast was good.

Great ambiance. We stayed at the hotel and visited the Grandstand bar frequently, great drinks and…read morefood
