The only thing wrong with the National Leprechaun Museum in Dublin City is its name. Despite the name, which makes this interesting spot seem like a silly tourist attraction, it actually offers a folklore-centered experience that can teach us a lot about Irish culture.
The Leprechauns
The popular mythological creatures are an anchor to the narrative, but they’re not really the main point of the experience offered by the museum. During your tour, you will learn about famous, as well as infamous, leprechauns, and experience (we won’t tell you how) what it would be like being as small as them.
The Day Tour
Suitable for families with kids aged 7 and older, the daytime guided tours focus on mythology and magical creatures in Ireland. It includes a walk through a rainbow and two storytelling sessions about the role of magic in Irish society.
The Night Tour
Under the title of DarkLand, this tour for over-18s explores some of the more serious aspects of Ireland’s fairy world. The tour guides’ performance and storytelling skills are at the center of this experience. They take you through some disturbing and fascinating folk tales nestled at the root of Irish culture.
