Epic the Irish Emigration Museum tickets 2026: official vs resellers, combo deals & insider tips

Compare standard entry against the '30-day Plan Ahead' discount or 'Super Saver' late slots for the best value, and verify if your ticket includes the 10-day free return visit. If visiting multiple sites, the Dublin Pass or a combo with the Jeanie Johnston famine ship often provides better total savings than individual tickets.

Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For most visitors, a standard entry ticket is the most efficient choice as EPIC is a self-guided, highly interactive digital experience that doesn't require a hosted tour. If you are spending 48 hours or more in Dublin, multi-attraction passes offer the best value by bundling EPIC with other major sites like the Guinness Storehouse and the GPO Museum.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    EPIC is in the CHQ Building on Custom House Quay. From O’Connell Bridge, walk east along Eden Quay with the River Liffey on your right, pass the Custom House, and look for the arch beside CHQ; the museum entrance is beside it. Show your booking confirmation on your mobile at the ticket desk. Retain the receipt issued there if you plan to use the free return visit within 10 days. EPIC is open 10:00am–6:45pm, with last admission normally at 5:00pm.

  • Price

    EPIC’s official online adult admission is €21.00. The visible Tiqets and GetYourGuide standard rows currently show €22.00, but final totals, inclusions, availability and cancellation terms should be checked at checkout. EPIC also lists children aged 5 and under as free; verify the selected booking flow if a zero-price ticket is needed.

  • Discounts

    Standard adult rates apply to visitors aged 18–64. Reduced pricing is available for seniors (65+), students with valid ID, and teenagers (13–17), while children (6–12) pay a reduced rate. Infants and children aged 5 and under enter for free, though a zero-cost ticket should be added to your online booking to ensure entry. A unique benefit for all standard ticket holders is the 'One Ticket – Two Visits' policy, which allows one free return visit within 10 days of your initial visit; you must present the physical receipt issued at the ticket desk to redeem this. Family bundles (such as 2 adults + 2 children) provide the best value for groups. Carers accompanying a visitor with a disability are admitted free of charge. Seasonal 'Kids Go Free' promotions typically occur in August and during school mid-term breaks, often allowing up to three children per paying adult.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my EPIC Dublin ticket or is a mobile version accepted?

Mobile tickets are fully accepted at EPIC. You can present the QR code on your smartphone at the main entrance desk located inside the CHQ Building for scanning.

What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?

EPIC typically accommodates late arrivals in the next available time slot, though during busy May periods, you may experience a wait if the museum has reached its hourly capacity.

Is the Irish Family History Centre included in the standard museum ticket?

A standard museum ticket grants access to the 20 interactive galleries of EPIC, but private genealogy consultations at the Irish Family History Centre require a separate booking and additional fee.

Are there specific rules for free entry for children or students?

Children under 5 usually enter for free but still require a 'Free' ticket added to your booking for capacity tracking. Students and seniors (65+) qualify for reduced rates but must present a valid ID at the entrance.

Can I cancel or reschedule my EPIC ticket if my plans change?

Official tickets are generally non-refundable but can be rescheduled by contacting the museum. For full 24-hour cancellation refunds, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets is recommended.

Is the museum fully accessible for visitors with limited mobility?

Yes, the museum is located in the restored vaults of the CHQ Building and is fully accessible via ramps and lifts. Manual wheelchairs are also available to borrow at the reception desk on a first-come, first-served basis.

Does the Dublin Pass include entry to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum?

Yes, EPIC is a featured attraction on the Dublin Pass. Pass holders do not need to pay at the door, but it is highly recommended to check the pass app for current May 2026 instructions on pre-booking a timed entry slot.
