Buying guide
As a working recording studio and rehearsal space, the Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum is accessible only via scheduled 75-minute guided tours. We recommend booking a timed-entry ticket in advance to guarantee your spot, as small-group tours (max 15 people) frequently sell out during the busy Temple Bar peak hours.
This is the core guided tour required to access the recording studios, rehearsal rooms, and the interactive jam session.

The entrance and reception are at the Button Factory music venue on Curved Street, Temple Bar. From Dame Street, turn onto Temple Lane and then left onto Curved Street; reception is on the right at the Button Factory entrance. The museum is guided-tour only. The official site says it is not wheelchair accessible and asks visitors with accessibility needs to contact the venue before booking.
Official adult tickets for the guided tour are €22.00 for June 2026, with reduced rates available for students and seniors (€19.00) and children (€16.00) through the museum's direct booking system. While partner prices for standard adult entry usually match the official rate, they may not offer the same range of concession discounts or the €65.00 family bundle, so groups and students should compare the total basket price before checkout.
The official site states that children under 5 are free and recommends the experience for children aged 7 and over; check the selected ticket type and any proof requirements before checkout. Groups are listed as up to 12 people, with 15 as maximum capacity. Walk-ins may be available, but advance online booking is advised during busy periods. The museum is not wheelchair accessible; contact the venue before booking if you have accessibility needs.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Access is exclusively via guided tours that last approximately 75 minutes; you cannot walk through the studios or memorabilia rooms independently due to the venue being a working recording facility.
Tours depart strictly on schedule from the reception on Curved Street; late arrivals may not be able to join a tour in progress and rescheduling is subject to availability, which is limited in peak June periods.
Since all visitors must join a scheduled guided tour, 'skip-the-line' labels typically refer to guaranteed entry for a specific time slot rather than bypassing a physical queue, as everyone enters together with the guide.
No, the museum is located in a historic building with narrow corridors and active recording studios; there are no on-site lockers, so large bags must be stored at external luggage points in Temple Bar before arrival.
Yes, while reduced rates are available for children, students, and seniors, they must still reserve a specific time slot online to ensure a space on the tour, as group sizes are strictly capped.
The tour typically includes the Temple Lane Studios and Sun Studios, but because these are working commercial spaces, certain rooms may occasionally be restricted if a high-profile recording session is underway.
Digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted at the reception desk; simply present the QR code from your confirmation email or the booking app upon arrival.
