Dublinia

About Dublinia

Located beside Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin's historic centre, Dublinia is a hands-on Viking and medieval history museum aimed squarely at families. Kids explore recreated Viking-age streets and a medieval fair, try on replica clothing and armour, and handle reconstructed artefacts across a series of themed galleries designed for touching and role-play rather than passive viewing. A public walking tour (around an hour) links the museum's story to the real archaeology of the surrounding streets, and a shorter in-house tour (around 40 minutes) covers the exhibits themselves. Visitors can also climb St Michael's Tower for panoramic views over the city, a popular finish to the visit. A recommended visit length of about 90 minutes keeps it manageable for younger children, and a coffee shop with stained-glass windows overlooking the city offers a good spot to pause, alongside a gift shop open daily. Combined tickets with the nearby EPIC museum are available for families wanting to make a full day of Dublin's history. Open year-round except for three days over Christmas, it's an easy, central, weatherproof stop for families exploring Dublin's medieval quarter.
