    Fantastic. I cannot believe it's taken me this long to get up to Dublin and into Croker for the tour and museum. Been to plenty of games there but it was really interesting to see it from the other side. I must say, our guide Sean who hosted our tour of the stadium was a credit to the organisation. His knowledge of the GAA and Croke Park was encyclopedic. He was engaging and friendly. We were all blown away at the end of the tour to learn he had only been in the job for 1 month! What an asset. The museum itself is excellent and the Bloody Sunday exhibit was eye opening. I cannot recommend this enough, whether you are GAA mad or have never seen a match in your life there is something there for you. Top marks, 10/10 attraction. Can't help but feel proud to be Irish afterwards.

    Brilliant tour and museum of a very unique and historic stadium in Dublin. The museum is small but really informative about the roots of the GAA and its role in Ireland's history. Likewise, the tour offers a great way of exploring the inner working of the ground and gives you a unique view of the stadium. Great even if you don't understand any of the GAA's sports.

    I've been to this museum at Croke Park about few times. It's a very interesting museum. It's probably one of the best museums in Ireland.

    Really enjoyed the tour, we arrived earlier and were allowed to join earlier group instead of one hour wait. Lots of happening there, like deliveries or lawn moving what makes hard to hear the guide, but still worth it. Tour is well laid out, what makes it really interesting. Visiting places that only special guests or players go to make tour special. Lovely cafeteria/restaurant at premises with good food and perfect gift shop that only has GAA stuff. Also enjoyed museum activity area like hitting the slither or football or jumping. Funny historical facts made everyone laugh.

    Excellent trip around the museum today, unfortunately with limited numbers we couldn't get into a tour but the very kind guy behind the desk not only brought us out to pitch side and took a family photo, but also turned on the movie September Days just for us! Loved it-well done!

    (Translated by Google) It is worth visiting the museum to learn a little about this emblematic local sport. It is a very entertaining visit not only for learning, but because at the end of the tour there is a type of game with which you can interact, things related to sport, and I have to recognize that with that I went back to childhood for a long half hour . Must visit for sports lovers in general. (Original) Vale la pena visitar el museo para conocer un poco de este emblemático deporte local. Es una visita muy entretenida no solo por el aprendizaje, sino porque al final del recorrido hay un tipo de juego con los que se puede interactuar, cosas relativas al deporte, y tengo que reconocer que con eso volví a la niñez por una media hora larga. Must visit para amantes del deporte en general.

    I really recommend the tour. You get a bit of history and the best views of Dublin from the top of the stadium.

    Super day out for any GAA fan. Skyline tour has been on the agenda for a while and glad to finally make it happen. Gerry (with a G, from Co. Clare) was a gas tour guide, and really made it an interesting tour. Great way to see parts of Dublin, and to see where the GAA magic happens.

    Very interesting tour and brilliant day out around Croke Park Stadium, even if you're not into GAA, the tour is a very interesting experience full of not only sport, but also significant history. You get to go "behind the scenes" and experience what it is like for the sports players at such a venue. Our tour Guide Annette was especially lovely, engaging with everyone in the tour group and especially the kids. She provided us with some fascinating and personal nuggets of information that can only come from years of experience in her profession. Would highly recommend her and this experience to anyone.

    Brilliant experience! After years playing GAA I managed to find time to take a tour around the museum and it did not disappoint. Our tour guide Seán was fantastic and knew more about the GAA than anyone I've ever met, and he's only been a tour guide for a matter of months! Spectacular. The museum itself was breathtaking and is something everyone can reap enjoyment from whether from home or abroad. Wonderful experience overall, 10/10.

    The tour of Croke Park stadium takes at least one hour or maybe a little longer. Our guide was a pleasant young man and our group was small. Initially, there has to be some walking done to get to the interesting parts of the tour. Without wishing to spoil it on prospective visitors, there's a variety to the visit and if you have any knowledge or interest of GAA sports, you should find this interesting.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 1 year ago on Google • 138 reviews
    We turned up to just visit the museum, but found that there was a tour around the top of the stadium, bonus, got to see Dublin from top of Croke Park. Guide made it, great crac, all in all great visit.

    Stadium tour was amazing Martin was a fantastic tour guide, so enthusiastic and funny.

  • 5/5 Martin C. 2 years ago on Google
    My wife and I had a very pleasant experience on our recent visit to the museum. It is well worth the visit and you need not be a GAA fan to enjoy the experience. It started with a short video which alone was worth the journey, and included a visit to dressing rooms and pitch etc. Food in the nearby restaurant was also good. Our tour guide Aaron was excellent and gave us plenty of background to the construction of Croke park from its inception.

    Off the beaten track, but this should be a must! Eye opening museum about GAA, a big part of Irish sporting and parish culture. The sense of pride and grandeur for this sport is apparent. Great place to bring sports enthusiasts, those interested in Irish culture and history, and families with kids (who will be able to try their hand at some of the skills required in Gaelic football or Hurling).

  • 5/5 John K. 2 years ago on Google
    A very professional setup. Very well run and the guide was excellent, both knowledgeable and humourous. Well worth a visit. Take a bow GAA.

  • 5/5 Proper GAA h. 3 years ago on Google
    The best museum. It's very interesting, and have a noble selection of jerseys worn by the legends. The stadium tour is brilliant, and you can let on to be a player going out the tunnel. Then the skyline bit is class as you can see for miles, if there's a fine day in it. The young wans love the games bit, we spent the bones of three hours there the last day. It's a great day out for anyone into the GAA. A lovely restaurant as well.

  • 5/5 Sebastiaan T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour! Fantastic staff. Man at reception is also very patient and friendly. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Eleni S. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff are so kind and friendly. There were no more tours available that day but they still brought me to the field and let me take time to take pictures and take it all in. In the museum, as a tourist, I especially appreciated the informative exhibit on Bloody Sunday.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a great weekend all the staff were so welcoming and the historic games so beautiful

  • 5/5 jasmanu99 2 years ago on Google
    The tour was brilliant, amazing views of the city. I'm normally not great with heights but this tour didn't make me nervous at all. Our tour guide George was a font of knowledge and really friendly. The museum was also very interesting and well worth a visit. Overall it is well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Mick B. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been going to be Croke Park for a lot of years and every trip has been a magic experience, The Atmosphere, Spectators, Staff, and the teams of course just brilliant,

  • 5/5 Rod M. 1 year ago on Google
    Impressive stadium & informative tour. Really good value.

  • 4/5 Cedric De C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good skyline tour and museum, but only interesting if you are from Ireland and have some interest in Irish football and/or huurling. The Skyline tour guide was very enthousiastic and funny, but did not payed much attention to us, as non-irish visitors.

  • 5/5 Jaime Mc K. 1 year ago on Google
    Attended here today with family. What an enjoyable experience for us all. Excellent tour guide and we learned so much about the history of the place (thought we new it all) Definitely recommend it

  • 5/5 Ciaran K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a brilliant day in Croke Park and then a very interesting tour.

  • 4/5 Alex G. 1 year ago on Google
    The Museum is nice and the stadium tour is good. I learned a lot about Hurling and Gaelic Football. I think the tour is more geared to people who understand the sports, but we still enjoyed it a lot.

  • 1/5 Ciara B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful day ruined by Conor the security guy in the gift shop. He wouldn't allow our party in after the go girls blitz in August and shut the shop 15 mons before closing. We had a bus full of very disappointed children.

  • 5/5 Adrian P. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful place for any GAA fan to Visit. Parking inside the grounds brings you virtually to the doorstep of the Museum. But this would not be available on match days. Tour guide was enthusiastic, with good stadium knowledge and very good with children. Felt like good value for money and great interactive games for the kids in the Museum part. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Ninh L. 1 year ago on Google
    BRILLIANT TOUR & MUSEUM! Had a great tour with Johnny, you get to see most of what Croke Park has to offer, such as the changing rooms, the corporate areas, the stands and you get some really nice views of the pitch. The museum was brilliant, very interactive with chances to test your hurling and gaelic football skills, and very educational artefacts. Also has on-site restaurant and souvenir shop, and the customer service here was excellent. Overall, definitely worht visiting if you're here in Dublin or you're a fan of GAA sports.

  • 5/5 Tom M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really comprehensive and enjoyable tour and museum. Well worth the entrance fee. The museum includes lots of memorabilia, video footage and even some 'have a go' challenges. The only thing it lacked was an 'idiots guide' to the rules of the GAA games which would make a good addition

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible. Very informative and a great history given.

  • 5/5 Lorraine B. 9 months ago on Google
    Brilliant tour for the whole family. Would thoroughly recommend especially as its also great value for money. Our tour guide Ger was obviously knowledgeable as you would expect but extremely engaging too. The video at the start of the tour is beautiful. Big shout to Sarah in the coffee shop/restaurant who went out of her way to look after my elderly father.

    Very interesting, fabulous stadium great to sit in the vip seats , see the dressing rooms where the teams come in on the bus, the corporate boxes etc and museum was delightful looking back on old matches, hurlers and footballers. The skyline tour was amazing lovely tour guide could see all the landmarks of dublin and all explained by the guide very educational. Nice cafe there too. Well worth a visit. Our tour guides were super and very good humoured and helpful.

  • 5/5 Woodie J. 5 years ago on Google
    A very intersting museum same for people who don't know a lot about Gaelic sports. Guides are very passionated and wants to transmit what they know to visitors.
