Vert enjoyable experience at this museum. Everything so well preserved and presented you can see the owners have so much love and appreciation for the past. Was lovely to speak to the owner and hear how he has been collecting for the past 40 years. A great trip down memory lane.

I can not recommend this place highly enough!! i just happened to be passing today it was a gorgeous day corlea is on my doorstep but I never made the time, maybe it took a pandemic to realise the treasures within our own locality..2000 yrs ago or thereabouts our ancestors laid a trackway ...across a bog ..luckily the bog preserved it .. and through a lot of ingenuity we can go and see it 2000 yrs later...how cool and amazing..I want to thank our guide Noel ..its an absolute privilege to be in the company of someone who is so passionate about our history and immense gratitude to all who worked to preserve this treasure...????

5. Round Tower Visitor Centre

This place is a little gem...we were staying in a nearby hotel on a Dublin mini-break. One morning it was very wet, and we wanted to find a fun indoor activity for our young children to enjoy. This place ticked all the right boxes! Clondalkin Round Tower is an incredible museum experience, and totally interactive for all ages. Full credit to the local council (South Dublin) for developing this quality facility. However, I read another TripAdvisor review which I thought was totally unfair with their allusions toward 'The Happy Pear' Café outside the entrance. I completely understand that the quality and scope of such visitor attraction's in the current climate requires commercial support, and if the 'Happy Pear' were happy to oblige to support this attraction then that's fine with me! 'The Happy Pear' is a great little café, with a strong (and fun emphasis!) on healthy and wholesome food which is not a bad thing! Around the base of the tower (it's not possible to climb up inside the tower), is an attractively laid-out garden and terrace area. I imagine that on a warm summer's day the café spills out on the terrace creating a lovely ambience. Overall a fantastic fun morning out for our young family. We will be back to visit. Nb. I noticed there were two TripAdvisor pages for this attraction: is it possible for the owners to merge it into one page? It will help your review scores. Thank you.

8. Marsh's Library
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 635 reviews
One of Dublin's most beautiful tourist attractions. An unspoiled gem right in the heart of the city. Established in 1707, Marsh's Library is a wonderfully preserved library of the early Enlightenment complete with its original oak bookcases. Visitors often comment on the wonderful smell of the old bookcases and books.The library contains over 25,000 rare and interesting books relating to the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, covering medicine, law, science, travel, navigation, mathematics, music, and classical literature. There is also some material of a very scurrilous nature. Every year an exhibition of rare and curious items is presented from the holdings of the Library. The current exhibition is titled: 'Bram Stoker & the Haunting of Marsh's Library', an exhibition of books that were requested by Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, when he came to read in the Library in 1866-67.

Marsh’s Library is right next to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. There is a very small entry fee - ~€3 and it’s worth every penny! The have a great exhibition about their stolen books currently on display which was really fascinating. They also have a few “games” and activities. Normally, I’m not down for this sort of thing but their activities were awesome! There are mini LEGO figurines (book thieves - tied to their exhibition) for you to find and circle on your own map. All are hiding in plain sight! You can also draw/color your own LEGO book thief. There’s also ink/quills/paper for you to draw or write in and a selfie station at the very end since no photos are allowed inside the main rooms. I loved this little library so much! You should definitely go see it!!

The old library was an unbelievable look into medieval history The displays provided a lot of facinating insight into the history of the books on display. The library itself is an awe inspiring sight.
