Took my daughter and her friend here last Sunday and they had a ball. It was entertaining engaging and educational rolled into one and a great day out for under 20 euro ! Really recommend it esp for their age group 8-9 year old. They was so much interactive stuff to do which they loved.

Great time learning the history of Dublin. Interactive and entertaining. Friendly tour guide. Kids would love it. Husbands, too :)

Though this museum was terrific fun, it was definitely geared more toward kids. There were many interactive explanations, including putting on helmets and the like (which was pretty good fun for the wife and I). Much of the museum had replicas or eerily realistic dummies. I would recommend highly for families, less so for adults only.

Visiting Dublin can be a bit of a challenge with kids, given that most of the attractions involve a lot of walking and standing, and some of the history involved in the various tours is both grim and complicated. The Viking museum is a highlight though, and it really helps to bring an exciting part of Irish history alive! The exhibits are intricate and extremely well researched, and the tour guides are informative as well as entertaining. Allow plenty of time for a guided tour and walk through where you (and kids if you have them!) can really enjoy the surroundings that make you feel like you are experiencing medieval Dublin.
