Amy Lee Published on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: Absolutely Baltic. My 2 year old daughter couldn't stop shivering so we had to leave early. Adults were miserable also, everyone trying to submerge in the kids pool to get warm. Also the "lazy river" wasnt really lazy or a river.... Don't think any of the water jets that push you along in the water were on.

Yogi Hogie Published on Google 4 months ago

Negative experience: Was a member up until today, they decided in their wisdom to up the monthly payments from 65 to 68 without a please or thank you! Another rip off and profit protection racket under the guise of "continue to offer and develop our excellent facilities and services" Not for me thank you Dog bless

Negative experience: Daughter spent 2 hours in the aqua zone. Access to disabled changing room and shower not very good. Had to shower and change in own wheelchair so not acceptable. Both shower and changing rooms need a deep clean, grouting in tiles so dirty. Visit clondalkin swimming pool to see how it's done correctly. Won't be returning to NSC anytime soon.

Michael Rafter Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: The National Aquatic Centre is one of those spots that feels worth the trip whether you’re into lane swimming, water slides, or just getting a proper splash of energy. The place is huge, well-kept, and has that fun mix of families, swimmers, and people training. It’s a great way to spend a few hours and come out feeling refreshed.

John O'Brien Published on Google 4 months ago

Positive experience: It's a competition pool , 50 metres , shallow pool to teach young children. There is a play area with slides and a lazy river. The whole family can use different slides and the wave machine is very popular

Lloyd O'Driscoll Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Love it so much.

brian swift Published on Google 5 months ago

Negative experience: Nice facilities, but they are clearly in breach of the National Payments Strategy 2025 which states that all government bodies which are public facing must accept cash as a means of payment by law. They still proudly display their “we are cashless” poster at reception. Please fix this asap. It’s unfair on the elderly in particular, who tend to still operate with cash.

Darren W Published on Google 6 months ago

Negative experience: I would suggest it's over priced for young families. It's also has like a fungus on steps in common areas. Some of the equipment is broken. It needs some tlc as it could be really great place.

Positive experience: A decent place to work out and swim - when not too crowded. A pity that the health suite is closed now until the end of April, it was a nice and pleasant feature.

Positive experience: I remember I went to this place for the first time with my school in summer 2003 and I thought I had a great fun over there. Sixteen years in August 2019 later, I went back to the same place and I hadn't been there for long time. I'd like to go there again someday!

Positive experience: Great gym. Lots of evidence of the staff spaying the equipment down and keeping the gym clean. Not overcrowded so you can workout and feel safe. Only Problem I had, I found it nearly impossible to contact the sales office to renew my membership but once I was reregistered, everything has run smoothly
