We went because the kids in our extended family group wanted to go, but the displays turned out to be quite interesting. Live demonstration of coin-making was a highlight! Each of us came away with new knowledge and enjoyed the stroll through the museum. They have an elevator for wheelchair access to the displays and there was plenty of room... more

So, I found nearly all of the displays here to be cheesy and hokey. Maybe kids would like it, but I found it disappointing, especially after all the good reviews on here.

However, I was less impressed with the "Viking" section of the exhibit. While the... more

Our 10 and 13 year olds enjoyed this quirky attraction...and we parents actually did too! It's very visual and hands-on to hold interest of younger people (and ADD adults!). more

This is a good exhibit of the history of Dublin in Viking and Medieval periods. The initial part about how the markets functioned and what they sold seemed a bit hokey, but the later sections show how the city grew - with a large model that uses lighting and narration to explain what was where (the instructions to start it... more

E' sicuramente un'attrazione più da bimbi che da adulti... ma sono felce di esserci andata. L'ingresso costa poco, ti vengono... more
