    Loved it. So informative on the entire lifespan of the Titanic from it being built to the ending we all know. Helpful staff, beautiful building. Added surprise of a little “ride” at the start which was fun. So tastefully done too - at the end of the day over 1700 people lost their lives and this is treated so respectfully. Really impressive

    Buzzing, just buzzing and it was so vibrant with everything from delicious food to local crafts and extremely funny local cards, tee shirts and socks for all occasions.
    Live music on the Sunday lunchtime when we visited.

    Nice place but quite small . Palm house and tropical ravine worth a visit but it won’t take long. Rose garden the highlight for me .

    My husband and I booked a tour of the Grand Opera House. Our guide was Anna-Marie who was very knowledgeable and entertaining, she obviously loves her job and the building. The tour was very interesting and informative - it finished on the stage which gave us a new perspective of the theatre. We would highly recommend this tour.

    Well priced, handy parking. Engaged and enthusiastic tour guide. Well restored ship. Plenty for adults and children alike - I took my 5 yr old and he loved it!

    Standing in a dry Dock the SS Nomadic seems to be waiting for its next party of traveller's. Its quite a significant size vessel.

    Visited 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.

    Magical Christmas experience! So much for the children to do. The staff were fabulous and made such an effort to engage all the children. Great value for money!

    Cool history, very impressive architecture, and an awesome place to get some great pictures. We stopped during our bus tour of the city, and enjoyed wandering around and taking pictures.

    Great hike - partially covered and partially open sky. Doable in a couple hours, and super convenient to get to from Downtown Belfast.

    Travelled on the 1530 crossing on Monday 20th November 23 from Belfast to cairnryan.
    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.

    We stumbled upon this church by accident and thought we’d go in for a nosey. What a stunning church inside......and so peaceful! A lovely spot to sit and reflect in the beautiful ambience of the church. Don’t go past!
