At once both heartbreaking and uplifting, the story of Irish emigration around the globe is truly EPIC

I especially loved hearing individual people's stores throughout the centuries. it does take about 1.5 hours just to walk through and see everything so be sure to leave enough time because it is worth every minute!

EPIC is pretty epic

My husband and I visited yesterday and had a mostly pleasant experience. The museum was very interesting and had a lot of cool information, and every employee we got to interact with were very nice and helpful. I will say, it does tend to get a little cramped, so plan to arrive early in the day, and there were a couple of rude tourists there that soured our experience a little bit (but that has nothing to do with the museum itself!), but otherwise we had a wonderful time! Plan to spend around 2 hours or so reading everything as a majority of the museum is spent going around each room and reading prompts, as well as stamping your “passport”. Overall it was worth the price and a nice visit :)

Disappointed and boring

Disappointed and boring. Do not waste your time or money. There were 20 rooms/displays, and you move from one area to the next using a stamp passport system that encourages visitors to go through each section. Each room had videos playing on both sides, with chairs available for visitors to sit and watch. However, some of the interactive displays were positioned in front of the screens, blocking the view and making it difficult to watch the videos comfortably.

Good experience

Great experience. Very interactive. Worth to go with a family especially if you are interested in Irish emigration.

Covered many parts of Irish culture

This museum entrance cost was minimal. It is in the basement of a building but it's set up with very clear areas/topics. Great display of all the different methods of transportation from Ireland to North America over the last two centuries. There were separate rooms for writers and musicians and people in every trade. There was a passport given which you could stamp in each room. I actually learned a lot about Irish history.
