Overall, the St. Patrick's Centre is a worthwhile visit for anyone interested in learning more about St. Patrick and Irish history. It is a well-designed and informative exhibition with a friendly and knowledgeable staff.

There are lots inside this centre. As well as a shop, there is a very nice cafe upstairs, tourist information and an exhibition about St Patrick - we had intended to pay to visit that but it was closed due to it being transformed for a Halloween event. We were offered the option of watching the video that was part of the exhibition but we would have been charged full admission price so gave it a miss.

The exhibition was closed as they were storing Halloween things in there. Nothing on the website so we had a wasted journey.

Great central location. Wonderful selection of local souvenirs and crafts. Very clean facilities. But I must remark on how impressed we all were with the upstairs café. Amazing coffee and equally likable staff. Definitely worth a stop off here.

We went on a tour that took us there. Very interesting to learn the history of Saint Patrick and see the beautiful cathedral and Saul. The ride to the countryside is also beautiful even though it was raining
