Croke Park
Páirc an Chrócaigh
A Gaelic sports venue for over 80,000 people, where the GAA Museum introduces Gaelic football and hurling, and you can walk on the roof for views over Dublin.
Páirc an Chrócaigh is the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and one of Europe's largest stadiums. It was the site of the 1920 'Bloody Sunday' incident. The GAA Museum offers interactive hurling games, and the stadium tour takes you into the players' tunnel and dressing rooms. The Skyline roof walk circles at a height of 44 metres, with views over the city and the Wicklow Mountains. If you can catch an All-Ireland Championship match in summer, the atmosphere is electric. Tours must be booked in advance, and arrangements vary on match days.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:30–17:00 (adjusted on match days)
