For someone who doesn't love heavy beers like Guinness, I was a little weary of going to the Guinness Factory. It actually turned out to be really great - you definitely don't have to love beer to enjoy this. Your entrance fee pays for a self-guided tour around the museum, demonstrations on the steps to making Guinness and a free beer at the Gravity Bar when you reach the top of the factory. The building is very unique with lots of hands on displays and videos and the architecture is modeled after a giant pint glass which gives the museum its own look. The five floors all have a different theme and the top floor is the Gravity Bar which is all windows and gives incredible views of the city of Dublin. You can sign the Guinness wall too and leave your mark on this famous establishment. When you take the lift down from the top floor, you an inundated with Guinness merchandise of all kinds in the gift shop.
