As my niece said Epic was Epic
I booked Epic for myself,my Dad, niece (9) & nephew (7) ;all four of us had a fantastic time.The museum is divided into 20 rooms spanning from beginning of Irish emigration to modern day and how as a people we have spanned the globe and had an impact on so many other countries and societies. Belief,Playing the World, Achieving Infamy and Music&Dance were favourite rooms as they were super interactive. Was fun to be in the stands at a sorts match and take a photo, and stand and be measured as one of the Good, the Bad and the Irish. You have to do the front and side profile prisoner photo. The Riverdance room was great, I recorded my niece, nephew and even my Dad as they repeatedly followed the dance steps. Everyone gets a souvenir passport that they use to follow the museum tour. My nephew really loved stamping it in each room. It made it even more fun. From arriving to leaving the staff were super. Greeted with warmth, then as we did the tour, a staff member popped up in some areas to tell small facts and give interesting information. They were all brilliant with the kids. Staff were friendly and all made the experience even better. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and parked nearby putting money in a meter. We spent 2 busy hours, but we could easily have stayed longer. The museum has a kids go free offer when I booked, which made it even more affordable than usual. I would have paid the price of the kids tickets, well worth the money. All the health and safety measures that Epic has in place gave peace of mind. We all felt safe and as we were there on a really sunny day, we had place almost entirely to ourselves. I have no doubt that with more people it would still have been comfortable. There are lots of machines and screens available throughout the museum which meant everyone could participate and do their own thing, follow What interested them most. Overall we had a wonderful day, learned loads and had a good laugh and quality time as a family. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone; everyone whether Irish native, resident or tourist should visit. There is something for everyone. We will definitely be back. Thanks Epic for a truly memorable experience

It's in the name
Great experience. It was a welcome reminder in these difficult times of the importance of our connection to others all across the world. The interactive exhibits really allows you to immerse yourself in the history of Ireland. Would recommend going early as to view every exhibit you would be lost for hours. However with the purchase of a ticket you are allowed one free return within a year.
