Achill Experience Mission Statement

Our aim is to expose visitors of all ages to stories about our parish history and the rich and extensive marine life around Achill’s coastline.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, The Achill Experience, Aquarium and Visitor Centre has been adapted to 45 minute pre-booked aquarium time slots. In our Visitor Centre, the Steve Molloy Room, Kirkintilloch Room and Robert Henri portraits are open for guests to explore however the Documentary Room is not accessible to visitors at this time. While the Achill Experience might look a little different and your visit may not be the same as previous years, we still strive to deliver the same passionate, fun and educational experience that we are known for. Thank you so much for all your continued support and for booking with The Achill Experience, we look forward to seeing you soon!

The Achill Experience encapsulates many aspects of Island life both present and past.

Achill Experience lets us help you to explore and learn about many the different species of sea creatures from around the waters of Achill Island and from the World beyond.

We display many fascinating stories of Achill’s rich and sometimes tragic history.

We also house the first edition prints of the famous American artist Robert Henri, who lived in Achill during the 1920’s and painted local Children from Pollagh & Dooagh. They are amazing prints and the colours really bring the children to life.
