WHY CROKE PARK?
Croke Park is consistently in our top 3 destinations for school tours. This is a safe, enjoyable and very manageable single day tour that captures the history and passion of the GAA in the Museum, the excitement of visiting the famous pitch and fabulous new stadium. It conjures up sporting dreams in the minds of students and teachers alike. Everyone comes out of the stadium tour feeling energised, ambitious and proud to have learned more about this uniquely Irish experience.
This tour has been carefully adapted by Farrelly's to suit both Primary and Secondary school groups. We work in advance with each school to create the exact day that works the best for parents, teachers and their classes.

A DAy on this TOUR
The excitement of the tour day starts at your school, departing for Dublin at 09:30. We have time for a breakfast/comfort stop on the way up, this is usually in the Applegreen Services on the M4 motorway near Enfield. After a 30 minute stop we have everyone counted back on board, comfortably on schedule to arrive at Croke Park for 12:00 midday.
Secure Coach Parking is available within the grounds of the stadium, Farrelly's will have already reserved our coach space so there is no walking outside the grounds, meaning its safe for the students and not tiring on the legs. Saving the energy for the fun that follows ! By 12:30 we'll have everyone checked in ready for the 13:00 Tour start.
This is a 2 hour guided tour behind the scenes of Croke Park Stadium, bringing the group through the service tunnel to dressing room, warm up room, pitch side, VIP seat, upper tier. This tour concludes in the interactive games area in the GAA Museum where students can show off their skills. There is 1 free teacher place for every 10 students and we offer a free tea/coffee voucher for bus drivers. If there is a remaining adult place left on the tour then the bus driver can take this spot. Having packed all that activity in, we depart Dublin at 16:00 (aiming beat the rush hour traffic) and to arrive safely back at the various schools in Longford for approx. 18:00.
