Very interesting tour and brilliant day out around Croke Park Stadium, even if youre 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.

Had a wonderful day ruined by Conor the security guy in the gift shop. He wouldnt 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.

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.

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 Irelands 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 dont understand any of the GAAs sports.

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 Ive ever met, and hes 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.

Fantastic. I cannot believe its 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. Cant help but feel proud to be Irish afterwards.

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.

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.

Excellent trip around the museum today, unfortunately with limited numbers we couldnt 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!

The best museum. Its 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 theres a fine day in it. The young wans love the games bit, we spent the bones of three hours there the last day. Its a great day out for anyone into the GAA. A lovely restaurant as well.

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.

Ive brought students to this place twice already and I have to say its good for them. They can learn about this part of Irish culture while watching a short movie, playing some interactive games and sitting in the iconic Croke Park stadium. The guides are nice, knowledgeable and dont take either too long or too short to explain the places.

Had a very fun day at the museum. A lot of history and content are here. They go into history quite well and taught me a lot about the GAA football and hurling. Awesome video that was interesting to watch and cool. A good place to come if youre looking for something to do. They also have a try out spot of hurling and football if youve never played them before.

Had a wonderful day at the Croke Park Museum and Stadium tour today. All the staff were really lovely and friendly, especially Annette our tour guide. She captivated the whole tour party from start to finish. Our 2 small kids 3 and 5 loved her and the tour. It got a big thumbs from both of them and us. Would highly recommend this tour for GAA fans aswell as tourists to see and hear all about our sporting history. Top class. Thanks Annette

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).

The stadium tour is brilliant! Combines architecture, sport and most surprisingly history. I had no idea this stadium was so intertwined with the Irish past. The guide was also extremely knowledgeable and really good fun. Id recommend looking round the museum before the tour, I did it afterwards and it rather pales in comparison.
