Overview

The Casino Model Railway Museum offers a close-up look at the exquisite workmanship of Cyril Fry’s hand-crafted models. Step inside to see stunning interactive displays that give provide all there is to know about Irish rolling stock and the history of the Irish railways.

Railway buffs will adore this extraordinary model collection housed in the beautifully restored Casino cottage in the heart of Malahide village. Known as one of the finest thatched cottages in Ireland, Casino has been a landmark in the picturesque village for over 200 years.

The extensive collection of miniature locomotives are beautifully displayed throughout the museum experience - some in pretty scenery, some moving along tracks between different landscapes, and some of the oldest and most delicate pieces are preserved behind the safety of glass cabinets.

This is guaranteed to be a fascinating day out for young and old alike, and one of the most unique experiences to have in the beautiful Dublin suburb of Malahide.

Entry was quicker than websites suggested. matching what friends told us—but better in person. (Afternoon crowds were predictable.)

Great value versus buying tickets separately. Seating/rest spots helped older travelers in our group, and overall it was one of our favorite stops.
