3Olympia Theatre
Historic Dame Street theatre with family shows, buggy park & free booster seats during kids’ performances; accessible stalls level and central location.
About
3Olympia Theatre is a historic city-centre venue on Dame Street, known for its intimate scale, ornate Victorian interior and a year-round programme that spans comedy, concerts, theatre and beloved family titles like the Christmas panto. For parents, the layout is straightforward: ground-floor Stalls are step-free from an accessible entrance, with wheelchair spaces and staff support available, while Circle and Upper Circle are accessed by stairs only. During family shows the theatre provides practical touches—free booster seats (with a refundable deposit) and a supervised buggy park with limited space—so smaller children can see the stage comfortably without keeping buggies at seats. Facilities include multiple bars and a sweet shop; baby changing is available during family performances. Stage times and door times vary by event, and the venue recommends checking the specific show page for details. Located on the edge of Temple Bar, it’s easy to reach by bus, Luas (Green or Red line stops nearby) and rail (Tara Street), with several multistorey car parks within a 5–10 minute walk and clearly signposted accessible parking bays on surrounding streets. An assistive listening system is installed, assistance dogs are welcome, and the venue team can help with advance accessibility questions so families can plan with confidence.
