Loved this tour!!! It was very informative and interesting how they make their whiskey and what it makes it different from the other famous whiskeys. It was really well managed and organized. We LOVED it and we are not big drinkers. It was a lot better than the Guinness Storehouse tour. You also get a free drink at the end. I had mine with cranberry juice. Very good! Also recommend getting the Dublin Pass if you plan to go here and other of the main tourist sights of Dublin.
Very beautiful church and well worth the look around! It doesn't take very long to go through it and the people there during sightseeing hours were the nicest down to earth people with loads of information on the history of the church and of Dublin. There is a lot of history within the church as well lining the walls.
If you are a big Guinness fan, it's definitely worth the visit for the free pint at the end of the tour and the gift shop full of Guinness memorabilia. The view at the top of the building is a beautiful sight of the city as well. However, unless you have the Dublin Pass to get into both the Guinness Storehouse and the Jameson Distillery, the Jameson Distillery tour was much more interesting and informational than the Guinness tour if you are deciding between the two.
My husband and I walked around a good portion of Phoenix Park. This was before smart phones so we got dropped off by public transport and were looking for the zoo. There were no signs directing us anywhere so we walked around a good 2 hours in the park ( it is HUGE) with no luck finding the zoo. The park is beautiful though and has a large population of deer. We walked by the Wellington Monument as well. Very beautiful structure.
My husband and I visited Kilmainham Gaol while in Dublin and we loved it! Not sure how much it is by itself to get in, but we got the Dublin Pass which allowed us entry to this historic prison. Highly recommend the Dublin Pass for anyone touring Dublin. The tour was very interesting. Lots of interesting history about the jail and the architecture was really neat to see and walk through as well.
We just stayed in a cottage this winter. The cottage and the location of the resort is wonderful! Very nice inside, peaceful and beautiful surroundings! We would love to go back in the warmer seasons as well as they offer trails and many water activities (kayak, canoe, pontoons). It was a very relaxing getaway and has a small indoor water park geared mostly for kids but it was wonderful. The kids loved it! Only downside was the hotel restaurant must have been understaffed as we waited over an hour for them to call us back to accept our room service order and then ended up just going up to the restaurant ourselves to order it to go. Great food though once we got it and reasonably priced for most items.
With all the hype about Jethro's BBQ, we expected a little more uniqueness. It was just normal BBQ. It was good, just nothing special. Meat was delicious, very good quality. Service was great as well and prices for quantity of food was very reasonable. We would go back again.
Great sushi! Love the sample platters! Favorites are the Crystal Shrimp, Spider Roll and Fiji Roll. Delicious!
Great place! LOTS to do, see, and eat! Going in the middle of the winter was even great for our family of 5. There are 3 different indoor water parks all connected through the hotel. Our favorites were the water dome with the wave pool and the wild west had a great combination of fun kid play and water slides for adults. There's also arcades, go karts, bumper boats, paint your own pottery, etc. Would go back again!
Really cute little place! Good animal variety for a small place. Kids had fun feeding the animals. They have a corn pit to play in as well and a corn maze in the fall. You can also buy pumpkins and squash here as well.
