Jon Penndorf2026.08.11.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
One of the best museum experiences o have had in a long time. Worth the time for sure.
CarolinaProf2026.08.10.Loved the museum experience. A self-guided tour that explained the reasons the Irish emigrated, where they emigrated to, and what contributions they made. I was able to access the audio for the self guided tour overview through my phone and each area went into more depth. It looked like children were having fun, the museum areas were creative and engaging. Nice gift shop.
IN2026.08.10.The Museum was very great and amazing. There was a lot of heartwarming and astonishing moments in the history of the Irish people. It was very informative and a great experience.
Sebastian W.2026.08.09.Must see item for visiting Dublin. Super well done museum design. Museums of the world take note.
Dragos S2026.08.08.Verified
Well designed interactive learning journey. Well crafted journey to learn about the history of Irish people. Lulu was a great speaker about the Irish famine.
Helen W2026.07.12.EPIC Museum in Dublin Amazing experience! Really well set out with lots of interactive displays, little film clips and lots of information! It really blew me away how much the Irish people endured and how much of an impact they have had throughout the world! Definitely a must see! Also loved the little Passpot to stamp after each section! 👍❤️
Tc R2026.07.09.The soul of Canada is part Irish Came close to tears several times. As a canadian, the connections to my own country and the role the irish played made me very emotional. To those who run epic, have you ever seen how Canadians display the irish arrival? Check it out: https://youtu.be/H48gaLbJfxc?is=045ITXX990fIktfM
Yasemin Erdoğan2026.07.07.İrlanda’dan büyük kıtlık döneminde dünyanın dört bir yanına göç eden yaklaşık 10 milyon insanın hikâyesi.Acı dolu ve etkileyici Girişte verilen “EPIC Passport” ile her galeride damga toplayarak gezilebilen interaktif bir müze.
Louis-Phillippe T2026.07.07.Interesting and educational. Interesting and educational presentations that kept my teens fully engaged throughout. The audio tour was really well done.
Levenez 562026.04.28.Magnifique musée, extrêmement instructif et intéractif Indispensable pour mieux comprendre l'histoire de l'Irlande qui ne manquera pas de vous émouvoir
Hanna Chebykina2026.04.27.Wow
mzxed _yt2026.04.26.Superbe expo et avec l audio-guide, c est indispensable pour bien comprendre
Caz Bennett2026.04.26.Loved it, went in and was very quickly full of sadness from the heart rending stories of our Irish ancestors treatment. As the journey continued this changed to pride and awe at what we have and continue to achieve.
Valentin Benard2026.04.26.Very nice and interactive experience i learned a lot
Paul Markey2026.04.23.Most enjoyable as always as I take my relations who are immigrants to visit the museum.The new addition of the film of those who emigrated in the 50s and 60s is poignant A suggestion- please advise those attending that the film is almost an hour long.Also given the length of the movie seating facing the screen would make the experience more enjoyable as the existing seating is at a sideways angle
Phxv Fam Travels 13132026.04.22.Epic experience at EPIC museum! Great museum (and I generally don't like museums!). Very interactive, large displays with audio and video, as well as artifacts. It wasn't crowded and you can move through at your own pass. They give you a "passport" to stamp at each of the main locations, which was a fun bonus for our kids. We learned a lot about the many paths Irish took to emigrate and what obstacles were faced along the way. My husband's family all came from Ireland and he was particularly fascinated (we are from the U.S.)
J. J.2026.04.20.Atmosphere 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • darkness & lights • tunnels • background music Information & Presentation 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ • interactive learning (e.g. dance, quizzes, games, giant book, sports tables) • independant learning • right amount of information • good choice of details • multiple and different topics Staff 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • friendly • motivated • helpful • enthusiastic Overall 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are a school group from Germany between the ages 17 to 20. We enjoyed walking through the museum without a guide, because it gave us the opportunity to focus on the topics that interested us personally the most. We voluntarily spent more than an hour in the museum and were fascinated by the multiple (technical) ways, the information was presented.
Gael Chabrier Cheroute2026.04.19.Magnifique et extrêmement complet. Peut-être un peu long pour les enfants.
Bryan D2026.04.19.A worthwhile visit covering the worldwide impact of the Irish We enjoyed our 2 hour visit, particularly the first few sections covering Irish history and its impact on emigration. The gift show was first rate as well. One caution: Google Maps had us turn in where there was no parking. Best nearby car park was about a block away at Q Park.
Deborah H2026.04.19.A EPIC Day in Dublin It has to be the most wonderful interactive museum I’ve been to. I will definitely recommend EPIC to friends and family. And lastly, I didn’t know about the Atlanta Coke connection
steve c2026.04.16.April 2026 visit; 2 adults no kids. We spent about 4 and a half hours in the museum. There is a lot to see and do. You can just do the cursory visit maybe in 90 minutes, but there are some excellent presentations and videos which add a lot of value. The history of Ireland is fairly grim in places, with the mass emigrations throughout the year, but stick with it because the more recent positives come out towards the end. I did not feel like time was dragging at all. The passport stamping is fun. Even as a 60 year old I found myself queuing up to get my visitors passport stamped. A good visit.
Mary Jeneverre Schultz2026.03.10.It is an amazing attraction that is captivating and engaged all senses. The exhibit provides history of Irish immigrants. I definitely recommend to all history buffs and those who left Ireland
S Mahaffey2026.03.09.Extremely well done. Hugely educational, sobering, funny, fun.
hope a2026.03.09.Go. Epic was Epic. Inspiring and thought provoking while being an easy walk through. I recommend!
Mehmet Ali Aydoğan2026.03.04.Müze genel olarak güzel. İrlandayı ve İrlandalıları interaktif bir şekilde anlatıyor ama bence 21€ etmez. Teşekkürler
Deirdre M2026.02.27.Definitely worth a visit I absolutely loved my visit here, so much so that I returned a few days later to see it again (ticket allows for a 2nd visit within a few days). The centre is fantastic. It's interactive displays are amazing!! I spent 2 hours in the exhibition itself. It was so educational and really good value for money. I paid €23 for my entry. Had I known at the time that I could buy a dual entry ticket for the Jeanie Johnson ship too I'd have bought that but I didn't realise that until after my second visit. You can also buy a "Dublin pass" ticket online if you plan on visiting numerous attractions. Works out cheaper in the long run. Definitely worth a visit to this centre.
Catherine T2026.02.27.Musée incontournable à Dublin Musée d'une grande richesse, plein d'informations grâce à laudio guide
Oliver B2026.01.15.EPIC Indeed A great and immersive experience through the different stages, aspects and real stories of those who emigrated from Ireland. The passport and stamping made the museum more engaging and a nice souvenir of the visit. You can spend a good hour and 30 minutes going round all the exhibits, the museum is a bit out of the way from the centre but worth the journey.
SoulSkaMod2026.01.14.Very knowledgeable staff. And very friendly. One of my favourite tours in Dublin, so informative.
Tymur Mykhailovskyi2026.01.13.Very engaging and modern museum with a lot to see and do. The exhibition is interesting, with many interactive elements that make complex topics easier to understand. There is a large amount of information presented in a clear way, so you can really dive deep if you want. The actual number of original artefacts is not very big, but the creative presentation and interactive exhibits more than make up for it.
Patty M2025.11.25.We had fun while learning about the emigration of the Irish people throughout the world. The hands-on experiences are great for all ages!
Gustavo Lanz2025.11.24.Best museum in Ireland, hands down
Michael Rafter2025.11.23.EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum If you’ve never wandered through EPIC, it’s surprisingly absorbing. The place pulls you into the stories of real people who left Ireland and shaped the world in all sorts of unexpected ways. It’s interactive, easy to follow, and you walk out feeling like you’ve learned something meaningful without it ever feeling heavy.
polaoide2025.11.19.An Epic experience at Epic! I visited Epic Museum with my five year old grandson and was worried it might be a bit depressing!.On the contrary it was a hugely enjoyable and uplifting experience. for us both .The interactive "Notorious Irish" exhibit was a particular favourite.!Highly recommend this Museum
