Gallant array of vintage furniture and accessories, with amazing displays and a great array of time periods, all in a beautiful Old Palace.

Visited here on Saturday 6th. Very impressed with the whole experience. The receptionist was extremely helpful and friendly. She recommended the Freedom Ticket which was good value as it covered 4 museums and walking tour for €15. We really enjoyed the re-enactment tour as it was entertaining and informative. Would love to have spent more time on the local history part on top floor. Will definitely be back again and will be spreading the word on Waterford Treasures.

Great stop. The staff is super friendly (as is everyone in Ireland it seems). We enjoyed seeing the history of Waterford. They do a great job displaying various treasures and historical information. After exploring the top floor, we waited around for the afternoon tour. Miss Pimrose did a great job getting into character and taking us through the house. The 3d story at the end was fun and full of interesting facts. We also really enjoyed the glass items on sale by a local artist. He wasn’t there that day, but his workshop wear he etched everything was. It was neat to see. He had lots of beautiful work. We all bought at least one of his hand etched ornaments that were on sale for the Christmas season. This was a highlight of our day. We were all really glad we made the time to stop here and do the tour.

This is a wonderful museum, a fitting gem at the heart of Waterford's historical centre. The 4D show is very entertaining but it doesn't stop there, with two superbly curated and presented floors packed with fascinating objects, art works, human stories, stories of a city, history from multiple angles, often new and unique. Highly recommended.

Informative. Interesting history, especially after stopping by the Waterford House of Crystal across the street. Our tour was a bit small on account of the pandemic and time of day, but that wasn’t an issue since it just seemed safer. Our character actor / guide was very entertaining.

Fabulous menu, had a hard time deciding what to order for brunch. Staff are very friendly, atmosphere is lovely. Did spot a few local beverages in stock also for evening meals. Could not fault the brunch service or food.

What can I say , well let me start . The location is magnificent while there is some small cosmetic works in progress it didnt take from the location at all . The staff were polite so polite and extremly helpful so friendly I forget her name but if you are served by a beautiful charming staff member with red hair you will be in for a fantastic meal . The Blaas were beautiful as expected . The Brekkie Blaa is a must. Enjoy

I visited this place and at that time the tour guide was said to be absent, so I took it alone, the lady on the reception, gave me directions to the many upper rooms. I read everything there with most dating from Georgian era. I must say, I was thrilled. Impressed by what I saw. I recommend this place for all those who long to re-unite with history

Fascinating record of social history in Waterford housed in a beautiful building. The guided tour is very informative and well worth the time.

Great spot for those seeking a bit of history. The audio visual presentation alone is work the entrance fee. We also did the 1 hour walking tour out around the Viking triangle and really enjoyed it.

The 4D show was a very pleasant surprise. It's worth going for this alone, but I definitely enjoyed the whole tour of the palace.

I had a free guided tour this evening as part of Culture night events. The tour was excellent and the place and tour were beyond my expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and highly recommend a visit to this tourist attraction in Waterford. Great 3D show as part of the tour. Houses the largest collection of antique Waterford Crystal in the world just to mention one of many things on display.

We did the new tour last Sunday. We were gobsmacked with the quality of exhibits the infrastructure , the tour design the 3D tour on the history of glassmaking in Waterford. The Contribution of Quaker families to Waterfords history of Glassmaking and Shipbuilding in its noble port is fascinating. The tour guide Teresa brought in all together very professionally. Beautiful coffee and cakes before and after in Bishops Palace Café was delightful Derek in the cafe is indescribable !

Spent two lovely hours here today with friends. Enjoyed the guided tour - a ramble through Waterford's history with a knowledgeable and affible guide and a self paced meander through the upper floors of the building documenting Waterford's more recent history. Nice coffee shop and fabulous staff - Jacinta on reception was so helpful and really pleasant, thanks for the recommendation- the Parlour was fantastic 😊.
