Croke Park Stadium Tour

The Backstage Pass

Croke Park has been at the heart of Irish sporting life for over 100 years. With a capacity of 82,300, this magnificent stadium is actually the third largest in Europe.

Its size is only part of its greatness, however, as you’ll discover on this eye-opening, access-all-areas tour. From quirky insights into why Croke Park’s grass is always greener to learning about defining moments in Irish history, the passionate Tour Guides will take you on an inspiring journey around our national stadium.

Ranked as one of the best things to do in Dublin, some of the highlights include taking a seat in the VIP area, getting a birds-eye view from the media centre, sneaking a peek inside the dressing rooms, and of course, walking in the footsteps of gaelic games legends as you go pitchside through the players’ tunnel!

What our visitors say...

"Our guide was informative, entertaining, and very engaging. Our group may have asked more questions during this tour than at any other place in Dublin. The facilities match up with the best professional venues and the interactive sports area was an absolute HIT with our group."

"Very informative, and very well organised. Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, we learnt lots about 2 sports we knew little about beforehand. Get to see behind the scenes. Allowed to take photos everywhere, nice café. Well worth the money!"

"I went as an English man who loved local sports and wanted to find out more about Irish sports, their history and traditions. I left with all that and more. The tour of the stadium is great and explains everything that happens at the all-Ireland games, the history of the ground, and even little details like the steps."

"Tour guide was super friendly and nice. Very cool experience to see the locker room filled with various jerseys from all around Ireland…My 9 year old son loved trying hurling and Gaelic football in the museum."

"Croke Park Stadium in Dublin. What a surprise! The stadium, the museum and the staff exceeded all our expectations. This is the home of Gaelic Football and Hurling and we were very pleasantly surprised by the layout and content of the displays. It was really historically interesting and the acknowledgment and tributes to past players was excellent."

"Even though if you are not interested in sports you must go and see this stadium (the 3rd biggest in Europe) if you visit Dublin. It´s one of the most impressive places you can find in the city and it worths the money. The guide was also very funny and enjoyable"
