Smiles and Stories from Our Travelers
“I had a really fun time checking this place out! There was a lot of cool things to see and definitely instagramable! There were a lot of unique and fun moments, try not going alone so you can get some help getting the right shots with the help of a friend! Was there for about 2 hours, if you’re looking for something extra and unique to do while touring Dublin, add this to your list!“
“This is a fun family activity for all ages! It’s a little bit chaotic when busy but the exhibits are interactive and great fun for all ages.“
“Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Just remember to go to the reception desk if you want to see your photos at the end. You can't access them online.“
“Brilliant attraction and family outing! Put aside at least 90min for a fun, mind boggling experience of astonishment and laughter. They have a great gift shop also to extend the entertainment at home with some great puzzles and family challenges. 10/10!"
