What our Visitors say...

  • star rating  Fantastic tour for all the family - We had a fantastic tour of Dalkey castle. We took our 3 children and 4,6 and 8 who all thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors were so interactive with our kids... read more and they (and us) learned so much while also having so much fun. This tour exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it.

  • star rating  Thoroughly recommended - I thoroughly recommend this activity. The introductory video, interactive exhibits and, most of all, the live actors make it hugely enjoyable for all ages. I also really enjoyed how old... read more sayings such as “keeping something under your hat” or “having a square meal” were actively explained.

  • star rating  Highly enjoyable visit to Dalkey Castle  - Loved this tour so much (and a light lunch at Queens afterwards) with my husband a few weeks ago that I booked again for myself and my daughter visiting... read more from Edinburgh on the 10th. The tour which lasts about an hour is fabulously put together and the actors were superb! Such a fun 'feel good' interactive tour ( lots of fun& laughter) and such incredible good value! I would advise turning off phone for duration of tour. I forgot to do that and my phone rang, but fortunately it was at the end of the tour. The staff are so courteous and welcoming. I am looking forward to visiting Dalkey Castle and beautiful Dalkey again very soon. Thanks to everyone for such a memorable visit! Callibg all visitors- please do include Dalkey Castle on your to visit list! You won't be disappointed! 100% recommend to all 🙌
