Very interesting museum with lots of interactive features - A very interesting and interactive experience with so much to see. The museum is really excellent in giving you not only an idea of the scope of Irish emigration, but also of Irish influence all over the world. Allow plenty of time to see it - although the recommendation is 90 minutes, we spent twice as much and could have easily spent even more time.

Family sent me and it didn’t disappoint - It was an interactive experience, which really keeps your interest. Irish immigration history is told in small digestible bites.

EPIC - This was rich in history and culture! So glad we got to experience this and learn more about our history. After you are done with the museum it has a nice gift shop and plenty of places to eat right outside.

Very disappointing - I was expecting to learn more about the emigration of the Irish during the famine, and more information about that. This was covered very quickly I thought, the rest, about 3/4 was more about Irish residents making fame and fortune. Having said that, it was very well laid out. I think €21 for a senior was very expensive
