Great place to visit. So much information. The museum has a lot of artifacts and interactive screens giving full details. The short film is amazing and makes it very real. 10/10. Definitely recommend.

Great experience and tour guide! Went with my university and we got a lovely tour from Katrina (one of the museum guides). She was excellent—super friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. The museum has a lot of cool artifacts too!

Excellent attraction. The tour guide Kim was wonderful, very knowledgeable and talked nonstop about the history. The museum is in the actual building where the rising took place and has very good displays and memorabilia. A good audio video display as well. Well worth a visit. I did the Rebel Rising Heritage tour
