Pro tips to help you make a pick

Book tickets in advance, especially for weekends and peak summer months, as tours are strictly timed and often sell out.

The museum can only be explored via a guided tour, which is essential for gaining entry to restricted areas like the working recording studios and rehearsal spaces.

If you are using a Go City Dublin Pass, be aware that tour slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis; arrive early in the day to book your specific tour time.

Look for ticket bundles that include other Dublin attractions or musical experiences, as these can often provide better value than purchasing individual entry.

Ensure your ticket barcode is easily accessible on your mobile device or printed out to facilitate a quick and seamless check-in process at the reception desk.

There is a ton of information at the museum and because it's self guided you can choose to either read every single piece of info, or make a bee line for the free pint up top! As a beer lover, I could spend all day here, but also was fun for my family, who isn't as obsesssed as me.

Highly recommend the Jameson whiskey tasting in Ireland! The history is fascinating, but our guide completely stole the show. She’s an amazing storyteller, has a fantastic sense of humor, and even surprised us with her excellent Portuguese pronunciation. A perfect experience from start to finish!

I went on the river tour would have liked a 10 minute stop at the famine statues! Came all the way from the states just to see the memorial. There was no time to get on and off. The rest of the tour is amazing!

A fun, knowledgeable chap gave us the history of the Jameson company and how it evolved. A flight of 3 of Jameson's whiskeys allowed everyone to compare the taste and mouthfeel of 3 of its flagship products. A fun hour or two, which also included a grog!
