Ireland Visitor Discounts

Ireland visitor discounts is a fantastic free downloadable discount voucher for leading Irish cultural and heritage visitor attractions many of which can be great fun for the family.

You should download a form for each member of the family and bring this with you when you are travelling around Ireland. For some reason people feel a bit embarrassed to ask for a discount but this is clearly on offer here and can be a great way of saving when you are travelling with kids and paying three/four or even more sets of entrance fees.

Discounts include two for the price of one in leading tourist attractions, free admission at some attractions and between 10 and 20% off other attractions. This really could make a considerable saving for your family when travelling around Ireland and trying to entertain the kids.

Here are some of the discounts available but these may be subject to availability so do check before you travel.
