Why you might want to pass on the Dublin Pass

There is the option of purchasing something called the Dublin Pass to get free entry and discounts to some attractions and other places (e.g. restaurants), as well as being allowed to “skip the line”.  I wanted to present this for those who are interested, but I personally think it’s a bad deal at 71 euros for a three day pass(what they claim is their most popular option) and other options that I don't think are great deals either.  

Here’s why I don’t feel think that the Dublin pass is a good deal for most tourists. 

• First off, they claim you can enter thirty three attractions free with the Dublin Pass, yet they include numerous free museums in the list.  At the time I wrote the Kaufman Green Guide Dublin it was 32 attractions so since they have added one attraction.  Also while they used to not list certain attractions are free, now they are listing the regular price.   

• Secondly, looking at the listed attractions and offers those we took advantage of only cost us about half of the price they are charging.  

• Finally, as far as skipping the lines, I found lines to be pretty much short or nonexistent, at least during the off season.
