    Whenever I cross the threshold into these chambers of the dead, the world explodes into sounds and colors. I don’t really know what happens (probably the mushrooms, I guess), but I know it’s good. Coming back into the light, I feel reborn. I am alive. I always go to Knowth with my household group, so we can support each other in this otherworldly experience. Also, the more people who come, the larger the feast. 5 stars.

    A beautiful land mark with 5000 year old structures and rock carvings which for some crazy reason, they allow you to touch. This is likely one of the only places in the world that will allow you to interact with megalithic history. And yes, you can go inside the main structure, as well as on top of it in a contained area.
    Tours were informative and efficient, allowing you the later half of the visit to explore on your own.
    Tours are fast though, given the amount of people they have to push through, so you'd better be on the ball.
    Service was impressively thought out and efficient. The museum is well done, and there is a large cafe with many drink and food options. There is also a picnic area if you bring your own edibles. You can spend many happy hours here.

    Found this place to be an informative and historical treasure. Rock formations are everywhere-- so many details to explore. The main mound is encircled by 127 large decorated stones with megalithic art of various patterns and designs. Look closely for the details when you walk around and explore. Knowth contains 1/3 of all the megalithic art in Western Europe. Over 20O decorated stones were found during excavations.

    Our guide added intriguing details and facts that made history come alive. There are many mounds of differing sizes to see and you get to climb on top of the largest mound for a panoramic view to the valleys below. Highly recommend doing both the Knowth and Newgrange tours for the complete story.
