If you go down to Croke Park today, you're sure of a big surprise!
Junior supporters of the GAA can look forward to a brand new feature which will be making its way to the GAA museum - the 'Teidí Tour' experience.
The tour will offer younger visitors the chance to make their own GAA Museum sports bear to take home on the day.
The bear-making workshop and a family-friendly tour of Croke Park is the perfect day out for families, with young GAA fans across the South East given a guided tour of Croke Park stadium with their cuddly friend.
The children will learn about the history and culture of the association, with the tour starting with a workshop in Cú Chulainn's Den.
Each child will select their bearskin, stuff their bear, find a bear heart, give their new furry friend a name, and get a 'bear-th' cert.
Following that, they'll get to dress their new bear in its own GAA Museum training kit.
Following the tour, access to the GAA Museum is also included. This will provide fun facts about the GAA and Croke Park, allowing participants to test their hurling and football skills in the interactive games zone.
Children aged three and over can enjoy the Teidí Tours experience, with each child ticket including a 16-inch bear plus a bear training kit.
Children's tickets are €30, adult tickets are €9, and senior tickets are €6. Tours will begin on the June bank holiday weekend and will run on select weekends throughout the summer.
Tickets are limited, so book online in advance to avoid disappointment. Please note, the experience is not suitable for children under 3 years of age, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
Both the GAA Museum and Croke Park Stadium Tour are fully accessible for people with disabilities, and there are toilet and baby changing facilities on site.
The Blackthorn Café is open daily and serves hot lunches, sandwiches, pastries, snacks and more.
There is free on-site parking adjacent to the GAA Museum for cars/buses in the Cusack Stand Car Park.
Access to the Museum is via St. Joseph's Avenue (off Clonliffe Road) and you can visit https://crokepark.ie/teidi-tours for more info.
