Old Cork Waterworks Experience

Set within Cork city’s historic Victorian waterworks buildings on the banks of the River Lee, the Old Cork Waterworks Experience combines industrial heritage with a family-friendly visitor attraction. The site preserves original steam-era machinery and pumping equipment that once supplied water to the city, presented through interactive displays and exhibits that trace the story of Cork’s water and public engineering.

Alongside the museum and learning spaces, visitors will find a cafe for a break during their visit. It makes an engaging stop for anyone interested in local history, science and the workings of a growing 19th-century city.
