All Aboard! The Casino Model Railway Museum, Dublin
All aboard! Experience what it is like to drive a life-sized Iarnród Éireann train engine carriage at Casino Model Railway Museum, Malahide. A new Children’s Interpretative Centre brings children’s natural curiosity on a immersive and exciting rail journey.
Housed in the beautifully restored Casino ‘Cottage Orné’ in the heart of Malahide, this new visitor attraction maximises technology, with layered sights and sounds and digital screens on the windows on the carriage to help add to the experience. All these interactive elements help to deliver an educational experience filled with energy and momentum as the DART journey unfolds. As each subject is introduced, you dramatically exit dark tunnels for fast-moving light. Further enhancing the interactive nature of the experience, tactile and interactive elements have been incorporated allowing guests to engage and connect with the content as they are taken on an immersive journey.
The Museum aims to appeal to a younger audience while still engage with all demographics. The start and end point of the rail journey is completely dicttated by the user, as you board and disembark from the train. It is a self-guided experience, delivered through a continuous loop, and you can hop on or off at any time.
Ireland’s only model railway is a labour of love. Step back in time and explore one of the world’s most unique model railway collections. Located only a 5 minute stroll from Malahide DART station.
