Cobh Heritage Centre is a museum in part of the Victorian railway station on Deepwater Quay. Its exhibition, The Queenstown Story, covers the town's past as Queenstown: mass emigration from Ireland, convict ships to Australia, the sinking of the Lusitania and the Titanic, whose last port of call was Cobh in 1912. The centre also offers family history research.

The Midleton Distillery Experience occupies the Old Midleton Distillery in County Cork, a woollen mill of 1796 that became a barracks and, from 1825, a whiskey distillery. Production moved to a new distillery next door in 1975, and the old buildings opened to visitors in 1992. Tours show the iron water wheel of 1852 and the old stills and warehouses.

Cork City Gaol is a former prison in Sunday's Well, Cork, designed by William Robertson and opened in 1824. From the late 1870s it held only women, and during the Civil War it also held republican prisoners before it closed in 1923. Restored and opened as a museum in 1993, its cells and wings show 19th-century prison life with life-size figures and an audio guide.
