    Loved the concept of The Ark! They have many events throughout the year. Recommended to years 2 to 12. There are some paid events but drop-in events as well.

    I like The Ark, I think is an amazing space and I love the concept. Although we were a bit disappointed today. We went to see the Tiny Trad show and we found it a bit too boring and lacked of real interactions with the children. The performers didn't really tailor the show to give kids the opportunity to explore the music, in an interactive way.

    My Son did the Me & the City workshop on Monday 19th of March and he absolutely loved it. The teachers and Artist were fabulous and so encouraging. I would highly recommend attending a workshop if your child has any interest in building and creating. Thank you to all at the ark, we will be back.

    Lovely staff, lovely - yet small - exhibition and on top of that workshop where you and your child can play and make some art. Love it! Plus, no entry fee! Love it, will be back!

    We’ve attended two of the summer “rockpaperscissors” events and the girls have had an absolute blast. Many thanks to all the staff for all their enthusiasm, patience and help

    It’s kind of crazy that accompanying adults need to buy tickets for a show specifically aimed at 2-5 year olds. If I was bringing my toddler to rainbow Phil or a music class I’d hardly need to buy myself a ticket too! It cost €15 a ticket (45 minute show), so it cost us a whopping €45 (2 parents and a toddler) to attend a 45 minute show. That would be fine if it was a show with *any* focus on adults but it was blatantly for toddlers only. The show itself was fine, I’d probably fork out a tenner max for it to keep a 2 year old entertained but wasn’t worth €45… I mean that’s €1 per minute 😂😂 The whole thing was so disappointing and cost us so much money for what it was, we actually had a good laugh about it after 🤣

    We attended a workshop where children designed a poster based on the rights that were most important to them. The artists were very helpful and the atmosphere was lovely
