Dún Aonghusa Visitor Centre is open to visitors daily on a year round basis. The Visitor Centre is currently operating on a six day week due to staff shortages. The Centre will return to a seven day opening when staff resources allow. The site itself is freely accessible to visitors at all times.

Any plans to alter the opening hours of the Visitor Centre are reviewed annually in light of visitor numbers to the site and budgetary constraints.
