About this tour

The Kildare Town Heritage Centre, housed in a restored 18th century market house, explores the rich history of one of Ireland’s oldest towns. Step back in time with their Legends of Kildare immersive virtual reality experience.

Kildare Town Heritage Centre is both a visitor attraction and a tourist office with countywide information and a souvenir shop.

The Legends of Kildare VR Experience is perfect for families, small groups and history lovers. The experience is available year round in English, Irish, French, German and Chinese. Discover Kildare’s heritage like never before.
