We loved Malahide castle and gardens. There's a large, beautiful playground on the grounds with lots for children of all ages to keep them amused for hours. The grounds and the gardens around the castle are spectacular with lots of places to run and explore for big and small legs with toilets next to the gardens is and added bonus. The castle itself is very well maintained and preserved. The guided tour is very interesting and the tour guide explained it so that both kids and adults understand and enjoy the castle and it's vast history. We had hours of entertainment at Malahide castle.

Staff and tour guides are really friendly. This place offer a great tour about the castles and it's owner history(with a somewhat sinister twist). Also you can walk around outside the castle and there are plenty of beautiful gardens. There is one cafe and a place that has really good soft serve ice cream. I recommend coming here.

Well preserved and maintained, the castle is worth the trip. It's small, but that's how they really were. I much appreciated the intact furniture and art work. Our tour guide did a great job. I wish the flowers had started blooming in the garden it would had been spectacular.

Lovely grounds and plenty of free parking. Beautiful big play ground for all kid ages including an interactive sand pit with kid diggers. The castle is tour guide assisted only. There is a lovely cafe on site and well stocked shop with plenty of quality Irish and international items of food, clothing, books and cookware. Great walks around the castle grounds. Great day out for the kids

This place was so beautiful! It was the first castle I had ever been too! I loved getting to hear all the good stories! The tour guide was so wonderful! One thing I will say is people that bring your children remind them to not touch stuff. The poor tour guide had to get onto a few kids that the parents weren’t paying attention too. Not being judgmental just a friendly reminder from one parent to another :) I have 4 :)

Whatever you do - Do Not miss the tour of this castle, or these gardens or these grounds. Truly one of the Best sights I have ever experienced in Ireland. It seems like it is some hidden gem just outside of Dublin. There are paintings and furniture inside the castle which should all be locked away in a guarded museum. But instead you can view all of this & more inside just as it would have been when the family Talbot was in it's reign.

Malahide is situated outside Dublin. This place is not very bid in area but has a vast history associated to it. The place holds a castle that was owned by Talbot family for almost 800 years. The castle is not very huge but yet has a vast history. The castle was sold by the Patriarch/Matriarch of Talbot Family. They were both brother- sister and none of them got married. By the end of 1975, the castle was sold by Rose Talbot due to lack of funds. The castle offer a guided tours into multiple languages (with help of audio sets). The Castle has huge lawns on west and the north side of it. Western lawn is lush green and brighten up during a sunny day. Most exciting part is the painting of Rose Talbot with her mother and brother. It is said that her eyes were painted with the same technology which was used to paint monalisa. Moreover there's a stadium next to the castle where International Cricket Matches are played.

Such a cool experience. Beautiful castle, cool old church w/ graves in the back (they say the foundation may be older than the castle!) And we had a great tour guide. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good day trip from Dublin. Very easy to get there by Dart.

Had a great day out here. Took a tour of the castle and the gardens which were very good. Also a very good play park for the kids. Bikes for hire including family bikes and a train which goes down into the village. Only ten minutes to the village from the grounds walking. Plenty of places to eat in the village as well. Grounds are huge and can be explored. Very enjoyable day out.

Lovely place to with the family. Car park is free and I don't think it'd ever get full. They have few different pitches for football and plenty of space to toss a ball or walk the dog. The castle itself isn't anything extraordinary but is a nice sight. If you fly drones as well it would be a nice place to go as there's plenty of space for a safe fly.

This place has so much to do for kids, big and small! My son and I spent an hour wandering around the walled garden and visiting the butterfly house before walking the fairy trail and then spending an hour in the kids play park. This was all obviously helped by the incredible weather we had, but the castle grounds are just magical. As my son is only 5 we didn't visit the castle itself but could have spent all day exploring the gardens and grounds. The Avoca restaurant didn't have a great deal of choice for a picky 5 year old but you can bring your own food to eat at one of the many picnic tables dotted about or take a short walk into Malahide village for more choice.

Located in Dublin Malahide Castle is a great venue and it's free of charge. You can have family barbecues rent bicycles and cycle around the land convenient parking and play areas for children and more, I personally would recommend this as a location to go and see. No hidden car park charges or barbecue use chargers, simply bring your own barbecue and toilets are available.

It was nice to actually go into one of the castle with all of the pictures labeled. It gives you an true idea of what it would have been like living inside this castle. It is also beautiful on the inside and out. I went with my sister as part of the tour group with sightseeing Dublin! Awesome! I would recommend!
