Malahide Castle Concerts 2025

Castle is quite nice. Albeit a bit small. Tours are mandatory if you need to go inside. The history was quite interesting and it has a museum explaining the castle history and its ownership. Also comes with entrance to butterfly gardens, walled garden and a trail.

A lovely family day out with beautiful grounds to explore and great (if expensive) food in Avoca café. We went to the butterfly house (smaller than others but also not overly humid and plenty to see inside) and did the fairy trail. There is also an excellent and expensive kids playground with something for small and bigger kids. Loads of parking and prices for the tickets were good value.

Amazing place to visit, I got astonished about all the beauty that I found there, specially the nature part. The Castle is very interesting to visit as well. Certainly I'll comeback to spend more time there.

We had a great tour guide that was informative and humourous. She included the children on the group tour at times to help put into perspective the age children where when certain things were done. The gardens were nice as well even though it was very early in the spring and a lot of the flowers were not in bloom or even up yet.

It is worth visiting the castle and the surrounding garden. The ticket is just a bit expensive, but it is interesting to see that historical landmark. It's easy to go to the castle by train from Dublin.
