An excellent museum which speaks to the massive migration of the Irish to other countries especially Australia, Canada, the US and the Caribbean. Very well described and lots to see.Full review by Susan H

Really enjoyed the Cobh Heritage Centre, which tells the story of Irish emigration, mainly to the US, Australia and Canada; the conditions on board the ships and also the town's association with Tita…Full review by DSandJB

I don't know their schedule, so check their website. It's a pretty elaborate place (in a good way) with a variety of exhibits that extensively cover all aspects of Irish emigration, so plan to spend at least two hours--well worth it. I learned a lot from my visit, both facts and insight.
My family will be in Cork over the upcoming Easter weekend. We would like to visit the Cobh Heritage Centre on Easter Sunday, April 16, 2017. What hours will the centre be open that day? Using public transportation to visit from Cork, will the train schedule be impacted by the religious holiday? Does the cruise ship industry use this port all year long? Should one expect much cruise ship passenger traffic at the center on Easter Sunday?

Re: Your Query - 1. The Heritage Centre will be open on Easter Sunday 9.30 to 18.00 2. The Trains schedule will be the normal Sunday times 3. There will be no Cruise Liners in on that day - there will be one in on the following day (Monday) I do hope that you will enjoy your visit to our lovely town and that you have a memorable time in Ireland

There is a tourist information center located just a few yards down the street by the pier in Cobh. Don't have contact information for them but bet you can get it on the Internet. We went there and the staff were very helpful. Perhaps a call or email might put you in contact with someone. We also saw business cards for this service in some hotels. Hope this helps.
I had sent a note to the genealogy person but have not gotten a response to my inquiry. We will be at your center on Aug. 15th. in the am. I would like to work with a genealogist as this was what is bringing to Ireland. I was told that you do not always have on available. Would someone please get back to me on this. Thank you, Diane

We were on tour so the tickets were already taken care of by our tour director. You may want to check with the ship's tour director re tickets. Not sure what the price is for admission, but it would well worth it. Hope you have more time to spend there than we did, as we only had about an hour and a half to explore the site.
