Traveler reviews
Lovely presentation but not much to see
There is no need to book, just turn up. The museum is well set up but very small. Not much to see really. It is interesting but not worth Tue money in my opinion.
No medieval or ghosts but cool guides
Excellent audio tour for such a small modern style non medieval building with little in it. Only joy was chatting to guide John who recommended his friend Joe who does ghost tours. Which we did later. Ok tour more history than scary. Great guys though. Thanks John and Joe . Cool guys
A good small museum, a good place to start you visit to Kilkenny
An interesting small museum. worth a visit. The self guided tour was well set out, but the descriptions at each stage were a little long winded and could have been mre precise
Impressive history
A historically captivating experience. It has a lot of work to do to dig up more history but it is an impressive start. The self guided tour was good but we couldnt figure out the number order. We bounced all over. Still impressive. Highly recommend supporting this experience.
We Found the "O"!!🍀
Florida Four really enjoyed John he was so passionate and you could see he Loved telling the history before we were even done purchasing our tickets for the self guided tour he had so much information. After we were finished and leaving we met him outside as he may have been coming back from break and he helped our friend find why the "O" was dropped in his name. We will be back again John Thank you. 💚🍀
