Hi,
My husband and I are arriving in Dublin on April 15 and we wanted to ask if anyone knows where we could purchase the Heritage cards? Online services are not available until end of April 2022. We are arriving very early 5:30 am and not sure if the Airport Tourism Office is open at that time. Website does not list services they offer. Staying in Dublin for the night before we head to Clifden so we do not have much time in Dublin. Also, has anyone attempted to do a walk up for the Kilmainham Gaol? As of today, they are completely booked for our time in Dublin. Really hate to miss it. Appreciate any help. Thank you

We bought our Heritage Cards at the first OPW site we visited. It's like going to a museum where you have a choice to buy the one time admission or an annual membership. I think someone here was able to get walk up tickets for Kilmainham Gaol. But I don't know how likely it might be.

As per Trotter, just buy them at the first Heritage spot you visit.
We purchased ours at Kilmainham and then just walked in, but that was years ago so don't know if the passes include any sort of head of the line privileges - maybe call and ask when you're there.

September 2019 we reserved 2 tickets for the Gaol that were apparently among the last tickets remaining for the day. I don’t know whether they get many no-shows, or if/when they open tickets up when people with reservations don’t show up at their appointed time. The visit was definitely worthwhile; can you phone and inquire how likely you’d get in if you showed up and waited for an opening?
