Loved this place, the whole thing takes about an hour to go round, and you go from room to room with the curator who tells you Irish tales about the leprechauns, fairies, banshees and so on. The guy who took us round was very funny and the stories were told amazingly well...I think my 7 year old daughter might have... More

This was good, the best part was the big furniture but the rest was some guy telling stories for an hour... granted he was very good but this is for kids! Still was worth the visit but its a visit once sort of place

This has to be the best place in Dublin!! Granted Its meant to be for children but if you're pretty laid back and up for a laugh you'll enjoy it! The staff are so friendly and really get into there roles which is fantastic. Let your imagination run wild!!

This was an amazing live drama/story for adults in the evening the dark stories tour brings the darker side of irish folklore to life. DANGER! YOU WILL NEED IMAGINATION to enjoy this. If you are expecting a laser show this is not for you.

Fun friendly staff and a modern facility are about the only positive comments i can make about a museum lacking in content... Felt a bit cheated for the cost.

Great for kids. Our guide was so good in telling the stories and creating a magic mood of the Leprechaun world. The price is high for what you actually get to see and do, I think they could definitely do more to enhance the museum. However the over sized furniture was fantastic and again our guide could not have done... More

We went to the museum thinking it would be a 10 minute tour with some laughs and we'd head off again but we were very pleasantly surprised. There was of course a lot of laughs and some really good picture opportunities but the tour lasted over an hour. We were given a lot of information on the history of Irish... More

What could actually be quite a funny place that provides interesting information on the origin of the Leprechaun, as well as one where stories of them are shared, folklore, exhibits etc is actually an expensive & rushed tour of dark rooms which have nothing in them. I couldn't quite figure out why the entire experience was in the dark. Seems... More

We went there so that the children could learn from the leprechauns and Irish stories. Guide was great, but we were not allowed to translate the stories for the children that didn't understand English. There should be more to do and walk around, kids loved the first few parts, though.

I wanted to visit the Leprechaun Museum, on Saturday, as I thought it would be fun. It was terrible! Over priced, dark and depressing inside, and a very poor quality service from the guide. The stories were dreadful. We very nearly walked out, and should have asked for our money back.
