Review of the JUNIOR only. This was my first visit to Explorium and I had high hopes as its €15 a child for 2 hours. I have two so that’s €30 and it’s €5 for an adult. I have visited other science/interactive facilities in Ireland and across the UK with my so I felt that considering the cost, this place was going to be really good. I was disappointed on what we got to experience. One of my 5 year old twins even came up to me after 20 minutes and asked could they go to the gift shop. Overall for what we paid, I felt that what we got wasn’t enough. Yes there are elements within this area that are related but then there’s a huge that’s given over to a supermarket full of plastic food. If this area had say something to learn about fruit and vegetables that would be brilliant but it didn’t. There’s an outdoor but this was closed and apparently is only open when it’s sunny. Everything I feel is all thrown on top of each other. There’s an drum kit but the audio from it travels all over the place as it’s not positioned in a much quieter place. If the cost was less and the Junior was enhanced I would consider returning to be honest. To say finally I talked to a manager and I have to say my with her was very positive. She was open to hearing about my experiences and she asked me to email them so they can improve the facility, to which I will. I did ask about visiting the actual part of the centre but it was going to be €30 each. This place could be really brilliant but it’s far too expensive as it is. I compared the W5 centre in Belfast to Explorium. For the twins and I to go it’s €30 for all of us for the full day and we get full access to the W5 centre. A very place for small or for toddlers easily they can spend 2-3hours there. Staff is really nice and friendly. They have small sections realted to and technology. If your kid is into this place is definitely worth to go. They have outdoor area also if the weather is nice then can go outside for slides. Food there is halal this pizza with pepperoni was halal but please ask for yourself. It’s definitely a go to place for family n kids👍 The VR and wall are a must! Very enjoyable for adults and kids! The rest of the explorium was great too! Too bad a few of the interacting pieces were broken, still it was a full day of fun!! Staff were very and clear about safety ! We recently visited Explorium Dublin with a group of 6 adults and 8 children, and while the overall facility is quite good, our left us feeling it was more moderate considering the price paid versus what was included. There are definitely some highlights worth mentioning. The Lightning Show was interesting, interactive, and informative — one of the better parts of the visit. The Cycle Activity was also a hit, well-organised and enjoyable for both and adults. However, a few aspects could certainly be improved. Several instruments and displays on the Floor were either not working properly or broken, which was disappointing, especially for the younger ones eager to explore. The AR and VR zones, while a nice addition, felt very basic and geared mostly towards beginners. Particularly, the AR activity room setup could benefit from enhancements to make the more immersive and engaging. The area activities stood out as the best part for the — they absolutely loved it and spent the most time there. In summary, while Explorium offers a facility with some unique elements, our group’s overall rating would be moderate when factoring in the price of admission compared to the variety and quality of activities available. It’s a decent day out, especially for families, but improvements in maintenance and more advanced zones would really elevate the experience. It was amazing, not only for children! The is fascinating, and the area is both fun and challenging for kids. I highly recommend this place for families with children. 💰 Prices: • Science: €100 for 2 adults + 2 kids • VR: €15 / 30 minutes • Climbing: €18 / 1 hour We took a family trip to Dublin and decided to book an for all at the explorium. It was such a neat & exciting experience. It was definitely something way different from what we are used to back at home. This place is filled with so many cool activities for all ages. It was truly an interactive, family experience. We also had the opportunity to the new AR and that was way cool; much cooler then VR. The place is kept super clean & neat. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a smiling & staff. We absolutely loved explorium and truly wish we had something this cool back at home. We def. Need a center like this back home!! The deer outside of the center were a bonus. Thanks for the warm & greet, explorium!! Don’t hesitaste to go here guys. My son is hard to please & he wanted to go back for more fun!! Until next time!! Activities are and interesting. A bit expensive for what you get in my opinion in comparison to other attractions that are in and around the same price. Cafe is a bit expensive. Tea and cake for 3 was around €26. It wasn't busy at the time, but there was a build up of tables that were not being cleared or food not swept off the floor. When I saw a table being "cleaned" the girl wiping it down had left parts unwiped. Had a teenager with us who enjoyed the activities, and I think is suited to all age groups. Great day out, loved it. Especially challenges. was very and alot of interactions. Bit disappointed with the bike as it was up to 90kg 😉 Very impressive place and well worth the money! €100 for 4 people - 1 adult and 3 teenagers for the section- which seems to be everything there except the VRs and walls and we all loved it! The only thing I wish we'd done was go earlier!! There is so much to do there you'd need a full day! The staff too.. hats off to all of them! They were all so lovely and and seemed to love their jobs which says alot about a place! I'll definitely be returning! We visited explorium in Dublin and had an absolutely amazing time. I’m 24 and my partner is 30, and we honestly felt like again. There is so much to discover, with and educational activities for all ages. I’d strongly recommend spending at least two hours here there’s a lot to see and do. We also did Conquer Your Fears, which involved and jumping and was incredibly fun and exciting. Totally worth it. We spent around €100 for two people and stayed the entire afternoon. Overall, great value for money and a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommended. Had fabulous time in the Emporium. Great information & for young & older children. My grandchildren loved it. Staff were very helpful & the eating areas very clean & tidy. Great day out. Thank you. Our girls visited Explorium last weekend and came back very happy and inspired with everything they saw and that day. We will be back this summer to do the all together. But the worst / best part was, that my daughter left her cap behind (it was a special one as you all can imagine) not only the staff did look for it, found it, but also posted it out to us. So the two were reunited today. Thank you very much for this 🙏 ❤️ This is one of the best places to visit on rainy days. There are so many things to do for the whole family. There are different experiences for teens.For aged 8 and under; they have a great with scientific and play areas. Each session lasts about 2 hours, so I recommend checking the schedule in advance. The staff are very and helpful. The museum upstairs is also worth visiting, with lots of interesting information and beautiful presentations. We usually spend around 4 hours here in total. The food options are decent, but I wish they offered more healthy choices for both adults and kids. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for families. Loved the outside area being welcomed by deers. ( we were so busy having fun forgot to take pictures inside) I went to Explorium recently with my son and his pal (both 7 yo) they did the urban and VR activities and loved every minute of it. The staff were class! Really attentive, and you could tell they were happy to be there helping all walks of life out. I also left the boys jumpers behind & I emailed them asking if they turned up in the lost & found. They found them & are very kindly posting the boy’s jumpers out to my home as I live in North County Dublin (so a bit of a trek away) such a cool spot with deadly staff!
