We wnt to the Harry Potter event they hosted it was so fun and immersive. The architecture and everything really felt out of place in downtown Phoenix but it was a really cool environment.

This Venue is awesome! It was amazing for our wedding and we truly enjoyed the experience. You will work with Mary, the events coordinator at the center, and shell be you POC every step of the way, including your event day! Mary cares about making your day special and will offer up her knowledge and experience with weddings at the center. Youll get great prices, and shell even work with you on the bar menu! The best thing is there are no extra fees here and its straightforward since its a non-profit building and organization! The space does become your playground being able to bring in vendors you want for your day. You feel like youre getting married in a castle here and the courtyard provides the best outdoor wedding vibe! Our guests loved the look and were astounded that place like this exists right in the heart of Phoenix. The center also puts on several programs and events throughout the year to visit!

Had a great time at the wizarding event! Excellent potion making class. Cant believe the beautiful architecture right here in the heart of Phoenix.

I probably do not have enough space to write about how exceptional this place is. First, the location is gorgeous and extremely unique. Second, Mary Moriarty is a fantastic, very caring individual. My fiance and I were planning to do our ceremony here and had to cancel because of the pandemic. Mary has worked with us on finding solutions every step of the way. She truly does care about people and wants what is best for them. We hope to do a vow renewal or something at the library, but they will always have our support. It has been a pleasure working with Mary and the people of the library. All around a fantastic place and fantastic experience!

Loved it great place to learn about irish history and family genealogy.

Very educational, will definitely be back! Due to covid the library was closed. Cant wait to check it out once it opens again.

Not what I thought it would be. I thought maybe it would have some Irish castle decor. It was very modern inside.The cottage only took maybe 10 minutes to look at. Really only good if you are Irish and want to do your ancestry. The whole upstairs is a library with computers and books to look up family.

Amazing! The staff was so helpful and the children had a wonderful time!

Stop by the Irish Cultural Center to get a tour of the replica of an Irish cottage. The architecture of the castle imitates Norman less in Northern Ireland and houses the library.The library is free to visit and a facsimile of the Book of Kels with explanations is on display.

This was a gorgeous location for a wedding! The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing. It didn’t feel like I was near the busy city of Phoenix. My only complaint was the parking situation. It was difficult to find and I would recommend parking at the park nearby instead.

It looks very nice from the outside. It looks like a Medieval castle with its stone tall walls and the arching gate. Once there, I was however, unsure of how to get the actual museum entrance. Luckily someone pointed me to the visitor center which is a small room with one desk. The front desk lady was very kind and welcoming; she pointed me to where I should go for the tour, and gave me a brief overview of the buildings.The tour goes to the library and the cottage. I didnt stay for the cottage tour as I was feeling a bit tired.The library has 2 floors. On the first floor, there is an exhibit about a book and there are multiple rooms of books. From there, you can take the elevator or stairs up the second floor. There is a room with computers and there are also maps/books so you can research your Irish roots. Next to that room was another exhibit halls about Latin-Americans in the Irish culture. It was mostly posters of the famous people with a biography of them. There were also 3 glass-encased exhibits with some old artifacts in them.The displays were a bit too text heavy to read and I felt my attention wavering...I will admit though the library and center is very nicely maintained and its impressive all the books they have about the history and roots of Irish culture. I will also give them an extra star as the tour guide really gave it more than this best during the tour. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and very patient and welcoming too.

Our experience here for the christmas at the castle was very nice. it was set up so dreamy with lights, and trees, and the background setting of the large stone building. being able to walk around and through the buildings was a treat. such a great place to spend the evening with our family. thank you for hosting such a fun event for christmas!

The library & exhibits were great. We attended a dinner there and the venue was very nice.

Ive been here on several occasions.Each time Im there I learn something new.Im 100% Irish, half Dooley an half Murphy. We have a long proud history in America.

I didnt expect to really like this place. But the staff and visitors were awesome. I had seen it for a long time when I passed it said open super cool check it out

Highly Recommend! Their professionalism, knowledge and resources are world-class!

Cool venue for a wedding

Been here on St. Patrick’s Day - Irish people are so friendly!

Great place to take both Irish dance on Monday nights at 6:30pm and Scottish Country dance on Thursday nights at 7pm. Get your ghillies on and join in the monthly 3rd Friday ceili too.

Love this place my wife & I go as often as we can for the events like tartanic, Sant Patricks day events, & Christmas events as well. Go raibh maith agat. :)

Spending St. Patricks Day at the McClelland Library and Irish Cultural Center. Great music, food, crafts and displays. Visit Celtic Nations Art by Sydney McShane.

Great place to go. The guided tour was great and the staff very knowledgeable.
