The Ark: A Cultural Centre for Children - Dublin
  • Type: Educational
  • NileGuide Expert tip:

    Check the current themes and schedule on the Ark's very helpful website and book well ahead.


  • Description:

    • Every year, more than 20,000 children visit this unique cultural center where they are the makers, thinkers, doers, listeners, and watchers. Age-specific programs are geared to small groups of kids from 4 to 14 years old. There are organized minicourses (1-2 hr. long) designed around themes in music, visual arts, and theater, as well as workshops in photography, instrument making, and the art of architecture. The custom-designed arts center has three modern floors that house a theater, a gallery, and a workshop for hands-on learning sessions. Weekdays are often booked for school groups, but Saturday (and sometimes Sun) is kept open for families.
