Review

The Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum in Foynes, here in Co. Limerick, is a captivating tribute to Ireland’s aviation and maritime heritage. Having first endorsed this gem way back in 2013 and revisiting now in 2025, I’ve witnessed its evolution into one of the nation’s most cherished attractions. Its enduring appeal lies in its deeply Irish story, blending history, innovation, and the romance of flight. The museum immerses visitors in the golden age of aviation, showcasing the vital role Foynes played as a transatlantic hub. A highlight is the authentic replica of a flying boat, which brings this era to life. Complementing the exhibits is a charming Irish pub/café offering delicious, locally sourced fare. Foynes is also the birthplace of the iconic Irish Coffee, invented here and now beloved worldwide. This museum is truly a celebration of Irish ingenuity and storytelling, a must-visit and undoubtedly a Top 100 Attraction!
