Discover the heart of Irish sport and culture with a guided tour of Croke Park, Ireland’s largest and most famous stadium. Home to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the stadium is a symbol of Irish identity, community, and pride. Students can learn about Ireland’s national games—Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie—while exploring the dressing rooms, players’ tunnel, and pitch-side areas usually reserved for athletes.
The tour also includes the GAA Museum, featuring interactive exhibits, historic memorabilia, and virtual games for a fun, hands-on experience. Friendly guides share stories of sporting heroes, community spirit, and historic moments, while students practise English through questions and discussions. Combining sport, culture, and language, a visit to Croke Park is an exciting, memorable way to experience Irish tradition and teamwork.
