- brmusicmanChicago, IL3,110 contributionsThis museum was just extraordinary. It exceeded expectations in every way. It's a must do for your trip to Belfast!
I expected to learn about the Titanic. Unexpected, but delightful, was learning about the economy and history of Belfast and about the shipbuilding industry.
The museum goes into depth on the mechanics of the ship and how it was built. It was really interesting, even for a non-engineer. And the little ride halfway through, which could have been a gimmick, was entertaining and educational.
I appreciated how the exhibits matched scientific detail with human stories. And the use of technology to add depth to the experience was the best I have seen in any museum.
There are some moving artifacts displayed (for example, the band's violin). And the section on the sinking, victims, and survivors was tasteful and moving.
Staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful.

- C VLondon, UK3 contributionsThis is a beautiful building and you can visit it for free. You just need to book your ticket at the reception at the entrance to get your spot on a guided tour that takes you upstairs and even in the council room. David, my tour guide, did an excellent job of sharing the history of the building and Belfast, including urban legends that are not true and some funny anectodes that kept our group engaged. The tour is roughly 1h but I could have listened to him all afternoon. Highly recommended!Written 4 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ComhairleIreland10 contributionsVisited here on a Sunday in October. It wasn't overly busy, although I had been expecting it would be.
On arrival, the staff advised us to start on Level 4 and work our way down and this was excellent advice. In fact, all 3 of our kids (12, 10 and 6) enjoyed Level 4 the most, so we spent the majority of our time here.
The Dragon exhibit (temporary) mostly consisted of a few dragon figures that move, but at 30 minute intervals, they bring out a dragon puppet which is very lifelike and the kids can pet, so that is a really nice touch.
The exhibits are very interactive, with lots to interest both children and adults. Mine in particular love the studio section, where they could record their own soundtracks, report the news, create a stop-animation sequence, appear in a dinosaur film and more.
There are also some great sections on building, electricity, nature and general science.
We had read on W5's website about their picnic areas, so we brought our own lunch with us, and there are plenty of places to stop and eat your food. There are also water stations where you can refill your water bottle. Toilets were clean and well kept.
We didn't eat in the cafe so can't comment on that.
We spent over 4 hours in total at W5 and would highly recommend it. There are a number of restaurants in the same complex if you need to fuel up before journeying home.Written 23 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would to give Katie and Claire two particular staff that were on our crossing and went above and beyond with customer service. When they found out we were traveling for my birthday celebrations They brought me a bottle of prosecco and upgraded us to the Hugge lounge. Absolutely brilliant. 4th time IV travelled with stenna line and everytime staff have been amazing. Thank you Katie and Claire.Written 21 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
