Visited Powerscourt Waterfall and honestly, the best part is how close it is to the city while still feeling completely secluded. It's a beautiful spot, perfect for a family picnic or a quick getaway from the noise of Dublin. The scenery is stunning and really worth the trip just make sure to go on a good-weather day to enjoy it fully. A great spot for open barbecue read more

Ireland's largest waterfall is worth the visit if you are down in Enniskerry---it's just a short drive from the Ritz Carlton and the Powerscourt Estate. Like Bronagh M mentions...this place can be a bit magical if you are there in the autumn when the leaves are changing. You can also get quite close to the falls and even a bit wet if you are not careful. Tip, there is a car park once you enter the park surrounding the waterfall, however, keep driving and you can park even closer to the falls. read more

I was here in September of this year after not having been here since i was a kid. I cantbelieve i waited this long to come back. It was a sunny afternoon and we needed something to do with some visitors. They had been around Dublinbefore so i thought, wicklow, what can we do there? Powerscourt waterfall was perfect! really it is just a waterfall but it is a really spectacular feature, the time of year we were there was perfect because it was turning into autumn and the leaves were turning golden brown, just lovely! As i said it was sunny but it was also getting kind of cool so we sat at the benches provided and drankhot cups of soup before headingfora walk. i would recommend bringing a picnic with you, the soup was tasty butitwas expensive for what it is, as you would expect at a tourist destination i suppose! read more

I'm giving this place a five star only because there's not much to do in Ireland I'd give it a zero if I could because there's an admissions fee didn't quite understand why there should be something everyone should freely enjoy. It made me wonder since I'm from California where the redwood trees live and grow, how this country has very few trees and to my surprise I happened to find two redwood trees at this park. one would wonder why this country isn't full of them? aside from the trees, the waterfall was gorgeous magical and very refreshing something I'd highly recommend to tourist visitor or native who is in the region read more

The powerscourt waterfall is located in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains and is a short distance from Enniskerry and Dublin City. I love getting a car and driving up here with friends. The last couple times I drove here, visited the falls, ate lunch and then drove on to Glendalough which is about 20 minutes away. Easy way to make a fun outing out of the day. They have a food stand seeking good and drinks, including hot food (burgers, hot dogs, etc.) which is also covered. So if it starts raining, run under here! The restrooms are kept decently clean as well. There is a really good children's playground behind the food stand as well. Perfect to keep the kids entertained post-lunch and seeing the waterfall. The cost is €5.50 per adult although they have a family ticket option which could save you money for two adults and two kids. read more

Obsoletely must to be visited place, if you're near by or on east coast. On a nice day it's lovely to have BBQ. Entrance costs about €5 pp. Very good for kids and families. read more

Powerscourt waterfall is located close to the desolate Sally Gap drive and is run by the office of public works. as you drive in you will meet someone who is going to take €16 for a family ticket but its well worth it as you can spend a day here as there is so much to do. the waterfall is spectacular although not the biggest in europe it is the beautiful surrounding which simply adds to its majesty. and it is so clean and well looked after. a few years ago i went to Niagora Falls in Canada and while the waterfall is unbeatable the casinos and fast food takeaways make it rather tacky while here at powerscourt it is natural, lovely and unblemished. there are a few walks for the more energetic and picnic tables and a playground for the little ones. the only niggling thing for me is the tiny kiosk which serves coffee and burgers. it could be so much better but i suppose it is so tiny as people only come here when the weather is good. but if you like to barbeque then you can do that here. read more

Found this almost by accident. A great place to spend the day in nature. Bring your bbq, bikes, lounge chairs and stay awhile. Gorgeous area with plenty of space on grass to set up for the day and explore the area. read more

Since you are at the Powerscourt gardens, to visit this waterfall feels almost mandatory. Like everyone, I thought my ticket to the gardens included the waterfall. Nope. You need to pay a separate ticket to it (5 euros student). After the initial shock (joking) you can actually enjoy the place, somehow. The watterfall is a kind of... disappointing. Too small and weak, I think. I also found out the families go to there to have picnics and bbq and THAT seemed like great fun. So if you go there, bring food and some beverages because the place is perfect for that. read more

The drive to this place was insane but fun. The waterfall was pretty and we got some really good pictures. There is not a lot to do but if you enjoy the beauty of nature its a great place to visit. There is a little concession stand, picnic tables and trails to walk. The weather was perfect and the people were nice. I was a good thing to see once and I would probably go there often if I lived here. read more

Great waterfall. Really surprising to see such a huge waterfall in Ireland. It does cost money although I recommend going anyway or sending a person with a camera to go and take pictures of it and report back to the group. read more

Powerscourt Waterfall is one of my favourite places to go nearby Dublin. It has the purest air I ever breathed, I swear. Located about 7km from Enniskerry (on a dodgy mountaineous road), you have to pay to get in, but you can bring your picnic with you and there's a little kiosk and a lot of parking. The waterfall is Ireland's highest and looks absolutely amazing. There are a lot of paths in the surrounds to see the nature and the lovely sceneries. Worthwhile seeing any time of the year - I saw it once on a beautiful autumn's day after it had been raining which added to the beauty of it when the amount of water running down multiplied. Stunning in the summer too. read more

Stunning and breathtaking, this waterfall is like a hidden treasure. I only visited this spectacle last May when my dad was back home for a few days - and actually I hadn't even heard of the place before that! It makes for a lovely day out. The sound of the water splashing and the feeling of the little drops.. it's amazing. We also saw tons of deer hopping up and down the mountains. Seriously was on a nature buzz that day! Marvelous; worth every minute of the visit. read more

i couldnt belive i had to pay to go into here,im only giving it an extra star for the kids very small playground,shop was closed so couldnt get anything to eat,i asked my husband when we where going to see the waterfall,he turned around n said thats it love,oh come on,ok i didnt except niagra falls but a trickle down a mountain that i had paid to see,n thats it basically a closed shop,a small playgound and a trickle of water,mite go bck to fill up afew buckets when the water charges come in but until then this place should be free! read more

The Powerscourt Waterfall is stunningly beautiful and you can see some of it in the movie 'Braveheart' which was shot in Ireland. It's a nice day trip from Dublin, you can either walk from Enniskerry or from the Powerscourt House. Admittance is 5 Euro for an adult, and 4.50 Euro for students. I've managed to fall into the lake at the bottom twice now- once was actually quite refreshing because it was a hot day- and it's great for picnics. The only downside is that on a nice day everyone seems to descend upon the waterfall so you might have to fight your way through the crowds to get to the water. The Kiosk isn't that great though, so you might want to bring your own food. Once you get to the waterfall and still have some energy left, you can also walk/ hike up to the waterfall and around to the other side of the valley. There is also a shuttle bus back to Enniskerry, which you can get to the Powerscourt House and Gardens for about 7 Euro. read more

Powerscourt has always held fond memories for me. As a child we would always have a couple of family outings here every year. Now as an Adult I bring my kids here whenever we get the chance, they love it, weather permitting. Powerscourt is the type of place that reminds you why tourists come to Ireland. Well worth a Sunday to explore and relax. read more
