At the heart of Dublin's vibrant Drumcondra district, the GAA Museum & Tours offers an immersive dive into Ireland's unique sporting culture.

Reviews
I really enjoyed the tour of Croke Park and the accompanying GAA Museum. The guide, Gerry, was really engaging and did a great job of making it accessible for foreign visitors like me, as well as keeping the interest of lifelong fans like the Irish members of our tour group. I enjoyed getting to see the field and the parts of the museum on Translatlantic connections. I recommend it even if you’re not already a fan of GAA as a great way to learn more.
We had a great time 😁 ,the museum is very interesting, Connor was a great tour guide, he answered all our questions, gave us a great tour, the video at the beginning got me a little teary 🥹, the stadium is amazing, it's really interesting how every team is treated equally there 🙂 ,your gift shop is impressively stocked, I'm just bummed the plush pizzas got sold before I could get one 😄
A fabulous tour by Linda. A lot of research and time to bring this Daughters of Dublin tour to us women on International women's day. 90mins + of so much knowledge on important women in history, in the Dublin City and surrounds. We all appreciated the significance of the tour on the day. Hopefully these tours will become regular features in Croke Park skyline tour. Thankyou to all staff involved. Everyone was so helpful and knowledgeable.
A nice museum to visit, not crowded at all, very interesting about the History of Ireland and the role of GAA during the war of Independence.
This a a great experience, for sports teams, famillies and interested school groups etc. There are two parts to the tour. The first part is the Stadium Tour and the second part is the Museum part. The museum experience is fantastic and intereactive and the stadium tour is also a unique experience. Full of history, GAA people and great stories. There are fantastic food options, very child friendly, but superb for all ages and genders.
