Absolutely incredible, helpful, pleasant staff. The venue is very accessible for wheelchairs. I was accompanied by my Assistance Dog on a very hot day and the staff asked frequently if he wanted water and they all knew proper Assistance Dog etiquette. The displays were informative and were presented in a manner that would be interesting for a spectrum of ages and interests. I liked that there were many multimedia and hands on experiences.

I really enjoyed Dublinia and learning about the Vikings and medieval times of Ireland. The displays were well done and entertaining (except the one with the guy using the bathroom! The grunting and flatulence was so loud you could hear it throughout the museum!) The gentleman gave us a family discount and it was worth the trip.

Great place to learn about the Vikings history of Ireland! It is a good place to go with kids or to spend at least 2 hours in. There are many interactive activities that will make your time better in there. Definitely a lovely activity for a rainy day :)!

Amazing museum with a lot of information about Vikings stories. It’s not a traditional place to visit, but I would definitely recommend to everybody. There’s also some interactive experiences and lots of different types of information that makes the visit unforgettable.

Dublinia, the Vikings museum, is cool with lots of interesting facts you can explore. The place is a bit small, but you learn a bunch—fantastic for children. Climbing the tower's 96 steps provides a view that is not particularly spectacular, and there's an extra fee for the telescope, which is kind of a downer after paying €15 to get in. Overall, Dublinia is fun, but it would be better with more space and free telescope use. Consider buying combined tickets for €21 if you're also interested in seeing the Christ Church Cathedral next door.

I really enjoyed my visit to Dublinia. The exhibits on display detailing the Viking origins of Dublin were very interesting. One of the museum guides, Heather, provided me an interesting description of their medieval Dublin map as well. I also found that the Black Death and other diseases section was also great.

It was really fun! The exhibition offered a lot of information but also some visual impressions about the life and style of medieval Dublin. If you are interested in medieval and viking history it is definitely worth visiting.

Nice exhibition on Irish history from Viking period through medieval times to the recent Era. With life-size models, interactive computer stations and movies, both kids and adults will enjoy a visit to this place.

One of the top Dublin Museums. You'll travel back to Viking and Medieval times at Dublinia. A very nice place to go with your kids they will know how old people lived their lives

A very nice place to interactively learn about history of Dublin. The exhibit is on three floors and its has some interesting features like Viking alphabet or a short movie about the Black Plague days. Definitely go if you want to learn a few things and have a fresh take on history of this amazing city.

Dublinia is a fantastic blend of history and interactive fun. As a Viking and medieval museum, it offers a captivating learning experience. The interactive areas, where you can trace certificates and try on Viking gear or medieval helmets, add an engaging and hands-on element to the visit, making history come to life. If you happen to have the Go City Pass, it's definitely worth including Dublinia in your itinerary, especially if you have a passion for history museums. The museum provides an informative and enjoyable journey through Dublin's Viking and medieval past. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the tower as well. Climbing 96 stairs may sound like a challenge, but the reward of breathtaking views of Dublin at the top makes it entirely worth the effort. It's a must-see for anyone exploring the city and looking to gain both historical insights and panoramic perspectives.

Great fun. Allow 1:45 to see it all. Lots of interactive material and lots of reading. Some cool excavated pieces as well. And lots of recreated rooms, outfits and stands. At the end you can visit the tower which gives a nice view of the Church and the city.

A Great Presentation of people, interactive displays, history and humor. I LOVED the Story told in the Theater of someone growing up long ago, the story was sweet and sad, as you flew through the town, while the lad goes through is life, describing his interaction with people and his family. Someone did a really, great job with this short, heart-felt story. Really a beautiful job with it all. Any age would really love to see this exhibit. This should be a 'must see' item, not a 'if we have time'. Very Cool Stuff.

Gives a good insight in the history of Dublin from the beginnings. The display leans to kids but is still worth a visit. The building, including the Christ Church Cathedral are beautiful.

This museum is great! There's a really cute Cafe at the end of the tour as well, right before the tower climb. This museum was great, it taught you a lot without you having to read a ton and it was well equipped. Can't really ask for much more especially when you're a tourist in a new city and want to learn a bit. Getting the combined ticket with christ church cathedral is the best deal.

Really informative look at the history of Dublin from the Viking age, through the middle ages and beyond. You could easily spend between 2,5 and 3 hours here especially if you read all the information and watch all the videos. Cost 14€ and worth it !

Definitely worth for a visit if you're interested in the history of Ireland. It's educational and funny. The forms of exhibitions are various, including text, antiques, vedios, wax statues, picture, models, etc. Would suitable for visitors at any age. The building is linked with the Christ Church Cathedral by side, whose beauty is competable with the St Patrick Cathedral in my mind. BTW, the location is only about 550 meter away from the St Patrick Cathedral. You may visit them within a day if mind their opening time and make a good plan.

A great place, very informative, interactive, and enjoyable. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there are so many rooms/floors to explore. Good price for tickets and I’m glad I went!

Loved this museum and learning about the Viking heritage of this location! The walkway and to the cathedral next door was amazing! The architecture and the stained glass was amazing! The cathedral next door has a crypt, but it wasn’t open at that time. So it means I’ll have to be going back to Ireland to experience that!

Great interactive museum about vikings& middle age in Dublin with lots of pictures, text, movies,models of Dublin, audio in at least 4 languages. There are also dressed up actors that explain, for example, viking clothes or weapons. Loved the real life size exhibits of houses, markets, or ships. Also the big movie screen with the story of a mercant was nice. We spend at least 2h and could read& see everything.

We really enjoyed the museum. it was very informative and the reenactors do a great job. we bought tickets to this and the Christchurch Cathedral. I learned so much and had an enjoyable time

Very fun experience it’s an easy way to learn and have fun as well. The decorations, figures, lighting, sounds and everything was perfect, the information laid out in a very nice detailed order it’s easy to follow up with the events by reading and looking at the objects and figures. Lots of fun interesting ways to deliver the historical events through out the place, I enjoyed it! Also the gift shop was nice! I recommend it for 12+ years old.

Dublinia is a wonderful learning experience with many interactive and interesting exhibits. You're able to walk from Norse Vikings settling in Ireland all the way to Ireland's experience with the black death. There are many videos, audios, readings, interactive questions and even models that allow you to learn and experience the knowledge. My favorite was the Dublin town model which was a model of Dublin in miniature. We even had an employee tell and point at different parts of the model. She was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the different aspects of the old city. Overall it was a great experience! I would love to go again!

Sehr schönes Museum über die Geschichte von Dublin, angefangen mit den Wikingern über das Mittelalter. Die Ausstellung ist abwechslungsreich und mit Interaktionen gestaltet. Gerade auch für Kinder sehr schön gestaltet. An verschiedenen Stationen gibt es kurze Videos mit Untertitel in verschiedenen Sprachen. Zudem gibt es ein Kombi-Ticket mit der Christ Kathedrale nebenan.

Such a cool museum of Ireland's history with the Vikings. I really enjoyed it as an adult with no kids but I've heard kids really enjoy it too. We only had an hour or so to explore it which was just enough. If you enjoy history, check it out! The tower also offers a nice view of the city and way less busy than other tourist traps.

We stopped in about an hour before closing so we had to move quickly to make it through the entire museum. It was interesting — a view of Dublin from Viking times until now. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon.

My Son is 10. We spent about an hour in their. The staff were so nice & full of knowledge, they knew how to impress their audience. He thoroughly enjoyed it. We did the duel tour & crossed over the bridge into Christchurch Cathedral.

The girlfriend and I went to Dublinia and we were NOT disappointed! One of the coolest, most immersive museums I've ever been to. Beautiful, well-represented and fun! This place takes you through the centuries learning about the city of Dublin. Much of what they have is hands-on and perfect for kids and young people. I would go back in a heart beat, informative yet entertaining!

If you are visiting Ireland this is a must see attraction. I am Irish and I love taking visitors here, they are always super impressed with the interactive material, the humour in the staging and the unique way in which the history of Dublin is displayed. There is also an opportunity to climb the tower for fantastic 360 views over Dublin.

Very interesting museum showing the history of Dublin over the centuries, from viking ages, through the medieval era till the nowadays. If you like history and wants do discover a bit more about the history of Dublin and Ireland, that’s definitely a must visit!

Great place. I'm a grown adult and I loved all the information and how it was presented. I'd go here again, without second thought

Lovely museum in the heart of Christchurch. Friendly staff at all stages of our tour. All social distances and protocol kept too.

Enjoyable day at Dublinia, well laid out and great for kids to experience,very informative starting with Vikings you make your way through to the medieval period over several floors.Unfortunately due to recent restrictions live interactions with Vikings are reduced but otherwise very enjoyable....extensive displays ....Great to know more about Dublins history.

As a resident of Dublin growing up I can remember the excitement about the impressive Viking discoveries in Wood Key. The Dubvlinia experience borne from it was the talk of the town and really Ireland first interactive/live museum offering. The experience started by entering a lift and instead of the screen showing floors it showed years travelling back in time as you descended into the museum. This was a simple incredibly effective entrance which has stayed with me to this day. When the lift doors peeled back you were first hit by the smells, smoky and somewhat unpleasant as you now entered a real functioning viking village. With actors playing the parts of locals. The expressed curiosity at our strange clothes and technologies (digital watches). Through the actors we learned about Viking life and it was a wonderous experience for a child. Sadly this experience no longer exists. Although the museum split over several floors has an immense amount of information and displays there is simply to much text. I realise now it charts Dublin's history both before and long after the Vikings, it has in my opinion lost the magic of its earlier offerings. I felt overwhelmed my the amount of material on offer which one could argue would warrant many visits. The best of the experience were a video depicting the life of a man through the middle ages in Dublin and interactive displays overlaying old and present maps of Dublin. Most interesting is that many of Dublins road still have the very same names as those in the distant past. I feel the museum has lost its charm for younger people. This is a large museum and will take at a normal pace about two hours to navigate. However I would certainly bring back the Viking village and similar offerings for later periods. A room or two of actors from that time would bring the whole experience to life. And that is main point of contention. The museum is too passive and too heavily based on reading many displays. When you think what could be achieved. Not to say it is not worth a visit and you will certainly get a wonderful impression of Dublins past and I know an immense amount of work goes into creating all this material but I have never forgotten my first experience of Dubvlinia but I'm afraid my latest visit will not supplant it.

Extremely interesting display and interactive self guided visit. You can climb to the to of the clock tower . The views are amazing. Remember to ask for the combo ticket if you are going to visit the cathedral as well.

Went on a Saturday afternoon, and it cost 15€ per adult. It's a huge exposition about the history of Dublin, from the first Vikings to nowadays. You can easily spend 3+ hours there if you want to see everything with time! Would recommend :)

My third time visiting Dublinia, this time child-free which meant I could read all the information and exhibitions. A great place to spend a few hours, with or without the kids. You get a sneak peak into both Viking snd Medieval Dublin. Highly recommend visiting Dublinia!

A historic museum in the heart of Dublin with a timeline oriented approach to the city’s Viking & Medieval past life, utilising an immersive experience style of exhibition. Informative and interesting, with enough interactive features to keep you fascinated. Great for both kids & adults alike.

We had the best time visiting Dublinia, also due to the new hire Amber, who was enthusiastic and a real gem! We can't wait for her to start giving tours because I'm sure she'll do great! ~ much love from Jo, Kelly & Amy from The Netherlands - If you, like me, are into Viking history, it's a MUST visit! Also buy a combo ticket with the Christ Church Cathedral.

Nice history place for begginers in viking era

Dissapointing As two avid pagan history buffs this experience was a massive disappointment for my husband and I. If you have young children its okay i guess but if youre going to see cool viking stuff you're better off at the National Museum of Ireland where they have many more artifacts and far less mannequins dressed in poor halloween costumes. There a lot more stuff on medieval times and frankly its boring.

Sehr interessantes Museum! Ich war dort mit einer Gruppe und wir hatten eine Führung. Durch die Führung hab ich nicht viel gelernt, aber das Museum war toll gestaltet! Am besten war die mittelalterliche Straße, wo man in ein Haus schauen konnte. Alles sehr schön gemacht und auch kinderfreundlich! Insgesamt 4/5! Sehr schön! 🇮🇪

A great way to spend 90 minutes and teach the kids some of Dublin's history in a fun and interactive manner. Friendly and we'll informed staff topped it off.

A museum dedicated to the early history of Dublin, with a clear focus on the viking and Anglo-Norman eras. Some parts of the exhibition look a bit dated, but an effort has been made to make history come alive, with lots of puppets and life-size displays of daily life situations. It's good fun for kids to visit. Would be good to have a bit more in-depth information on some topics. Family tickets are €30 (Dec 2021). Good for about two hours.

Finally AWESOME experience for a fair price! We absolutely loved this place - both me & my husband, and our boys! Several levels to explore, beautiful stands, lots of information & real fun for kids. They even watched educational movie at the last level of the musem (and in a language they could barely understand, but the views of the model of ancient Dublin were fantastic!). And of course the building itself, gorgeous architecture, and the stairs to the tower (with views to the city) to crown the experience. We've been to multiple museums in Dublin, but this one is a MUST see! Highly recommended!!

A lovely place to know more about the medieval history in Dublin.

My son and I had a wonderful few hours at Dublinia. It was such an interesting and educational way to pass the time and we both really enjoyed the experience. Such friendly and lovely staff too.

Kids loved it, the fact that they could touch a lot of the stuff here compared to other places we've been lately. They loved the fact that they could dress like a viking and throw balls at a mannequin in the stocks. They also liked sitting in the stocks to have their pictures taken.

A very interesting museum, beautiful and tidy. Suitable for the whole family, experiential activity for children, lots of interesting information. Spending a few hours. Do not give up going up to the tower, it is not that difficult and the view is very beautiful.

Incredible place for a tour full of history and rich in details about the Viking immigration and it's role on Ireland colonization. Be prepared to walk a lot since there are 3 floors of information and items being shown. While the place is stroller friendly due to the lifts, some places have minor steps(3 of them) and you'll have to take care while pushing your infant around.

Lovely museum next to Christ Church. The staff is really friendly and ready to help with any questions. Well organized exhibition, super interesting and informative. Definitely worth a visit when coming to Dublin, especially when you are interested in the history of the city and its viking origins. Cute little coffee place on the top floor!

I loved this museum. A great place to visit upon first coming to Dublin, with a lot of information about the history that, coupled with a bus tour, will leave you plenty knowledgeable for any explorations ahead. It was clean, informative, plenty interactive for kids, and had some fantastic exhibits of artifacts from viking times, to medieval times, all the way up to modern times. It was ended off with a view from the tower, which gave a gorgeous look at the Dublin mountains and the city all around. All staff were competent and lovely.

Very nice museum. Three floors featuring the history of Dublin from Vikings to modern age. Personal very friendly and competent.
