Chris was our incredible guide through a brief history of Irish folklore. Children enjoy the storytelling and interaction with the guide, play on big furniture, and draw pictures at tour's end. This is a quaint small attraction that provides light entertainment. Kind, considerate, and engaging staff. This attraction is small and doesn't take much time. I recommend this for families... More

One of the worst attractions I have been to in many years. There is a series of hallways and rooms that are designated to tell the stories and ancient lore of the Leprechaun and fairy folk. But alas it is poorly organized and presented by the staff who are very poor at their craft. I have been to a festival... More

I went here on a whim. It's a bit out the way but it's totally worth it. The people are super nice with a really wicked sense of humor, and the opportunities for photos are boundless. I had so much fun. Particularly on the giant chair. More

Expensive entry fee and very little to see inside. The guide rushed me through so she could go back to reading her book. I will never go back and would advise others to save your money and time. More

I saw a flyer claiming that Time Magazine has touted this as a 'must see' attraction, so my sister and I went thinking it might be a silly, fun thing to do while in Dublin. However, when we got there, it turns out that you can't go through at your own pace, you have to wait to join a guided... More

This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review. This museum has really changed for the worse in the last year. We stubbled upon it last year while visiting Dublin with our two small children. We were left to explore the museum and had a great time with our 4 year old and 2 year old.... More

Dont waste your time or money. The museum is a tourist trap and not very well done. I wouldn't go back if they paid me 10 euros to sit through the tour again. More

I entered the Leprechaun Museum thinking that it was going to be tack fest 2012 but was surprised to find that they had gone down to more tasteful educational route. The guides were friendly we had a girl and a guy as the girl was in training. She was lovely while he was a little abrasive sushing one of the... More

Charming, young and old will enjoy clambering on oversize furniture, some good presentations, and an enthusiastic guide, whose tales of Irish folklore make the visit. Not a great deal of depth to this, but fun nonetheless if you do not expect too much. More
