    A great museum with plenty of displays & a variety of things. Many interactive things for children too. You could easily spend an hour or more here. Would recommend - very interesting

    For anyone who has a family member in WW two this museum shows the Irish side. I went on the National European day. Displays are easy for all ages to learn and read. They actually want to interview family members of soliders.

    Make time both to visit and to fully enjoy the experience once there - 90 minutes wasn’t enough ! Informative exhibition and story telling which helps paint the picture of so much more than the James Connolly many of us think we know. Add an endlessly interesting range of material in the first floor library and you have a great way to spend the day.

    We stumbled across this little gem on our first day in Belfast. Firstly, the member of staff in the cafe was so helpful...giving us tips about where to visit while we were in town. The food and cuppa were lovely. The museum was interesting but sadly some of the interactive equipment needed updating/repairing

    Discover Ulster Scots Centre was a wonderful looking building that my twin brother and I passed as we were exploring around this part of the city .
    A wonderful Victorian era building, the building has a great looking facade, very symmetrical, very photogenic, its a building most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Victoria Street.

    This museum is actually one small room at RUC HQ. It includes some interesting artifacts such as pieces of uniforms and weapons. You could be in and out in under 30 minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful. The best thing about this museum is that it gives out a fascinating guide about the collection. You can also buy things such as RUC badges. Unless you are a hardcore history or police enthusiast, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble getting there to see such a small museum.
