The National Leprechaun Museum

The National Leprechaun Museum

Overview

The first ever visitor attraction dedicated to the world of Irish myth, the National Leprechaun Museum opens up a world full of folklore and stories. A fairytale trek for adults and children (7 years and older), this interactive experience gives a deeper sense of Irish cultural identity and imagination. Feel what it’s like to journey deep beneath the rocks of the Giant’s Causeway, open up your mind to the sights and stories of Ireland’s mythical Otherworld on a trip to fairy hill, experience what it’s like to live as a leprechaun in a people sized world and follow the end of the rainbow to see if the elusive crock of gold really exists. From April to September the DarkLand Tour on Friday and Saturday nights offers grown ups some of the more disturbing tales of Irish folklore for scary fun. This tour is strictly for people aged 18 years and over. Visits are by guided tours. Pre booking your tickets via email is highly recommended to guarantee your place. Facilities include gift shop and toilets.

It’s the first leprechaun museum in the world, where you can get a guided tour and hear leprechaun associated stories, a perfect place to learn about Irish folklore and mythology. Have fun in the illusion tunnel, where you’ll appear smaller for somebody looking at you from another end and explore the room fitted with lots of oversized furniture and feel yourself in a leprechaun-sized world. Take a journey to the end of the rainbow to see if the elusive crock of gold really exists.

Children love the museum as it’s like another world of adventures, offering something you can’t get it anywhere else- fun in an illusion tunnel and possibility to feel in a leprechaun-sized world in a room filled with oversized furniture.

Did you know, that leprechaun is one of Ireland’s symbols?

The National Leprechaun Museum is a good Dublin attraction and experience for all family.
