Maynooth has also become a  destination for tourists as well as area residents for its myriad of downtown antique, gift, upcycle, art and artist shops.
The Arlington Hotel boasts an International Hostel and is alive with music and various events year round.

In 2008, a group has formed with the intent of restoring the Maynooth Station and creating an interpretive centre therein.
Fundraisers are held several times a year to make this dream a reality.
