Saint Patrick’s Day at the GAA Museum
- 17th March 2012 to 17th March 2012
Families travelling to Dublin for the AIB GAA All-Ireland Football and Hurling Club Championship Finals in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day can enjoy a visit to the GAA Museum at a reduced match-day price.
For just €12.50, a family of four can spend time in the recently refurbished GAA Museum. The museum houses a vast collection, including hurleys, jerseys, trophies, medals and banners that illustrate the development of Gaelic games from ancient times to the present day.
Visitors can test their hurling and Gaelic football skills in the museum’s specially designed interactive games area…see how fast you can react, practice the art of the high catch, and check your balance!
Children visiting the museum on March 17th will be invited to take part in a range of special St Patrick’s Day activities including themed arts and crafts in Cú Chulainn’s Den – the museum’s dedicated activity area. Younger visitors can also make headbands in their club colours.
The Museum will open with the turnstiles and will remain open for an hour after the end of the last match on St Patrick’s Day and is located on the Cusack Stand side of the stadium. Museum entry prices are listed below.
