Not sure which ticket to choose?
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.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The museum entrance is located at 2 Curved Street in Temple Bar, directly behind the 'Wall of Fame' outdoor gallery. All visitors must check in at the ground-floor gift shop reception at least 15 minutes before their scheduled time slot, as entry is strictly via guided groups. Because the tour navigates through the active Button Factory music venue and working recording studios, late arrivals are typically not permitted to join a group once it has cleared the initial security doors. Note that the historic building involves narrow staircases and is not wheelchair accessible.
- Price: 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.
- Discounts: Reduced-price tickets are available for students (valid ID required), seniors (65+), and children under 12. Children under the age of 5 are strictly not permitted on the tour due to the nature of the working studios and the historic building layout; the experience is generally recommended for visitors aged 7 and older. Because the museum is accessible only via scheduled guided tours with strict capacity limits (maximum 15 people), all visitors—including Dublin Pass holders—should ideally reserve a specific time slot in advance to avoid long waits. Note that the venue is located in a historic building with narrow staircases and no elevator, making it inaccessible for wheelchair users. Family tickets (covering 2 adults and 2 children) offer a discounted bundle compared to purchasing individual rates.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are all visits to the museum guided, or can I explore on my own?
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.
What happens if I arrive late for my booked time slot?
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.
Is there a difference between 'Skip-the-Line' and standard tickets here?
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.
Can I bring large bags or luggage into the museum?
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.
Do children or students need to book tickets in advance?
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.
Are the recording studios always part of the tour?
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.
Do I need to print my ticket or is a mobile voucher sufficient?
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.
