I undertook the Croke Park stadium tour yesterday. It was a most enjoyable and informative tour, very well led by the guide Seamus. He had a wealth of knowledge, which he delivered with coherence and enthusiasm.It was evident that he had a passion for the GAA. After the tour I was able to spend time in the museum. The museum had a wealth of exhibits, interactive videos, etc, covering the GAA from its conception to the present. There was also an excellent cafe. Overall, great value for money, and I would highly recommend this tour for all GAA fans, and those who want to learn about our sports. Gerry from Derry

This isn't really a review of Croke Park or its museum. It's a stadium. It has stadium things. It is fine. It's a little different than American stadia, in that you can buy alcohol, but you can't bring it into the stands. I visited Croke Park with my wife, kids (14, 11, 7yo) and my parents to watch the Christy Ring Cup Finals, the final for one of the lower leagues of Irish hurling. The ticket gets you in for three such finals, but we only had time for one. We are sports fans, not rabid, but enthusiastic. This was our first hurling match. I simply cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this game. Hurling is fast-paced, exciting, and has lots of odd rules that are fun to try to decode. The skill level of the athletes is extremely high, even at this level-- they do things with that stick (hurley) that look so effortless, but you can see that they took lots of practice. Also, though infinite contact is not allowed, there was a decided dearth of flopping, really refreshing if you have been suffering through men's soccer or the NBA recently. Honestly, the surprising thing isn't that the Irish have clung to this game, it's that it hasn't spread much further. The crowd for this match was great. They were very involved, vocal in support for their teams and in editorializing about the referees' calls, but respectful. Large groups of fans for one team or the other sat together, but they were in a patchwork, not segregated in any meaningful way. Crowd conduct was very good, and we never felt that the fans should have been separated from each other or that there were safety issues. In short, watching hurling at Croke Park was a highlight of our trip. The entire experience was amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in sports. I'm looking for a hurling club back in Texas now.

I visited Croke Park for the AC/DC Power Up Tour and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. It was my first time visiting Croke Park and Dublin. The sound was great, the view was good and the atmosphere was brilliant. It's an impressive stadium and a good venue for a concert.
