No trip to Dublin would be complete without a visit to EPIC. Winner of Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction for three consecutive years at the World Travel Awards, this interactive and innovative museum sheds the stereotypes of leprechauns and pots of gold and is the go-to place to discover what exactly it means to be Irish through the stories of those that emigrated.
The Irish diaspora have since had a huge impact around the world, going onto becoming globally recognised scientists, politicians, poets, artists, musicians and even outlaws. If you’re one of the 70 million people worldwide that claim Irish heritage and ancestry, this museum will feel like the start of a homecoming, connecting you and your story to so many others.
At EPIC, you don’t just read about Irish history, you get fully immersed by this breath-taking story in state-of-the-art interactive galleries, complete with touch screens, motion sensor quizzes and a feast of powerful audio and video to complete the experience.
EPIC is located at Dublin's Docklands and just a 10-minute walk from the city centre. With The Irish Family History Centre located on-site, The Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship just across the road and plenty of cafés and restaurants on-site, you can spend an entire day at the one location.

Nos ha gustado mucho y hemos aprendido algo más de la historia de Irlanda
There was a lot there but most of it wasn’t too interesting. The beginning was great with lots of historical information and videos of people’s stories but shortly after that it just became about famous Irish people in sports, writing and things which is still interesting but a lot of it isn’t really museum worthy. We spent around 1hr30 there all together as we did the first 35% slowly then after that when it became less historical and more about Irish rugby players we moved a lot quicker. In terms of child friendly I would say it’s only a good idea for children over 12.
the presentation is very nice but I found the contents a bit basic and more for children or teenagers
Good
must do in dublin
Good location, reception fine. Large and small lockers. You can eat well in the same building. Ideal to leave for the airport afterwards. Bus leaves from there and in 25 minutes you are at the airport
Worst museum ever
