    This was on our family bucket list for some time - an easy walk from the city centre, and a simple online booking experience, with great value for a family ticket, you will not be disappointed by a visit to 'The Crum'. Our teenagers enjoyed learning about the history of the gaol, and there are some magnificent exhibits, including a decommissioned Wessex helicopter outside, and a tunnel which used to link the gaol with the former courthouse across the road. Many of the exhibits tell the story from internment during the troubles which is informative. Take care of the final part of the tour (hanging) as it was a little unnerving but is clearly marked as optional.

    Handy free museum in the botanical Gardens. Gives a good start on a lot of things. Irish history, nature and art. Nothing too in depth but enjoyable nonetheless. Well worth taking a couple of hours out of your day to visit.

    This is a must see when visiting Belfast!

    We were here on a girls weekend and had a lovely Sunday morning wandering around the stalls, buying up treasures and sampling the wonderful food.

    The building is stunning, such an amazing snippet of history, it’s like stepping back in time. You really could spend all day here, there is even live music to keep you entertained.

    Special shout out to Al Parmesano, defo a cheese lovers dream, the Mac n cheese was delightful, some of the best I have ever had!

    We learnt the protraction at different times on a first hole first serve basis. The timing worked so we went and were able to sign up for a nominal price. It is very well priced for the tour you get.
    David, our tour guide, was excellent! He explained how the tour would run, for how long and what to expect. His knowledge is exceptional along with a sprinkling of humour! He made sure everyone was with him, that everyone could understand and included any young people as much as possible. He is very happy to accept questions, and in fact enjoys them. If he doesn’t know the answer he makes it his mission to find it! I don’t think there’d be many questions he wouldn’t know the answer to. Overall this was an expect tour and David is an excellent guide.
    I must also mention all the other staff we interacted with in City Hall. Everyone is is so friendly and helpful! We can’t recommend this more! Definitely value for money.

    We were visiting for a birthday celebration and spent lots of time in and around the area, you can always find some form of entertainment in amongst it all.

    Lovely botanical Gardens with squirrels running around. Plenty of space to have a picnic or just wander around. The grounds were well maintained

    Stepped on this ship for free after visiting Titanic museum. Quite nice to walk around but to be honest I was all museumed out after three hours at Titanic so I didn't pay much attention. But still worth a visit!

    While in Belfast, my husband and I stopped to see the peace wall. My husband was aware of 'The Troubles,' but I did not know much about it. My husband did not know, however, that there was a huge wall constructed between the Catholics and the Protestants. The wall is now painted over with murals to signify "peace" between the two. It's a must see while in Belfast.

    An excellent tour of the stadium and the heritage centre ably led by tour guide Ken. He covered all the important factors behind the scenes with enthusiasm and knowledge and ensured it was a tremendously worthwhile visit & tour.

    I would highly recommend this tour whether you are a local or a tourist .Our guide Gary today was both very informative and knowledgeable. My Father and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The Ship is steeped in History and an asset to Belfast which should be explored and promoted.

    Visited W5 today and it was fabulous. Children really enjoyed all the displays and activities however the elf academy was woeful. It really spoilt the day. I would recommend you save your money

    In all the tourist information available I had never seen any information on this park that is in easy reach of Belfast.
    Good rail links and a short walk bring you to the park.
    The visitor centre exhibits are a bit dusty and uninspiring by modern standards but the park is the jewel. Even on a winter day the park is being used well and we enjoyed a walk along the coastal path where the only sound came from lapping waves.
