The Tasting Lab Restaurant
We chose the name “Tasting Lab” to reflect both the experimental nature of the dining experience and the spirit of curiosity that runs through it. Inspired by the idea of a laboratory, it connects to the core principles of exploration, precision, and discovery in flavour. It invites guests to experiment, question, and engage with food as part of a wider journey of learning, creativity, and sensory exploration.
REIMAGINING FOOD AS PART OF THE EXPLORIUM JOURNEY.

What Our Visitors Say About Us
It was amazing, not only for children! The science section is fascinating, and the climbing area is both fun and challenging for kids. I highly recommend this place for families with children.
We visited explorium in Dublin and had an absolutely amazing time. I’m 24 and my partner is 30, and we honestly felt like kids again. There is so much to discover, with interactive and educational activities for all ages. We spent around €100 for two people and stayed the entire afternoon. Overall, great value for money and a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
Thank you to all the staff. We look forward to visiting again. The kids had great day. From Leixlip Youth Club!
Had fabulous time in the Explorium. Great information & interactive for young & older children. My grandchildren loved it.
Staff were very helpful & the eating areas very clean & tidy. Great day out. Thank you.
Full of interesting science as well as fun (and exhausting if you give your full effort) activities.
This is an amazing day out that keeps the kids occupied for hours. We were in the older kids section for nearly five hours and it was hard work getting them to leave.
