    We went here first thing in the morning to avoid most of the crowds, which I think worked out great. Each level of the museum has something different to offer. I particularly enjoyed the deck plan mockups and the levels about the sinking. I wasn't expecting there to be a ride early on! Definitely a good morning well spent.

    The Titanic structure of the museum is astonishing and it is said that if you look up that is the size of the actual Titanic. I loved the Titanic sign too and walking on the red carpet as you enter the museum and live music playing was such a surprise. As you can imagine the museum is huge with lots to see and would take a good few hours if you were to really take it all in and read everything but we didn't have that time but still saw loads and had an amazing time on the shipyard ride, seeing the immersive experience of inside the Titanic and recreating the iconic 'I'm flying' scene from the film. I've visited the titanic museum in Liverpool which was great but this museum was exceptional, very interactive and fun and plenty photo opportunities. The gift shop was great too with magnets, postcards, posters, ducks, snow globes, hats, t-shirts, mugs the lot! Great day for all the family!

    I was here couple years back and it was mind blowing of all the details that went into the ship. I knew it was original make here before ship to Southampton, England. But didn't know so much works that went into to build a ship, especially that big (at the time). The city did a great job creating a foot work info along the bank that lead up to the museum. Great architecture and building as a whole but it just abit far from the city, since I walked from there but it was fun.

    I was blown away by this museum! We came on holiday to make my titanic obsessed child's dream come true. This museum was so much more than I expected - the exhibit is so well done, so informative, so interactive, and very retrospective. I highly recommend.

    We have visited a lot of Titanic museums/shows over the years, and yet we learned new things at this one! it was very busy as it was a bank holiday, but things ran smoothly and we enjoyed our time here. it does take a few hours to work through the four floors of details, so be prepared.

    Cool museum, slight disappointment. You can spend 2-3 hours in this museum. It goes over the history of ship building in Belfast and the history of building the titanic. It also goes over all the wrongs that happened with the titanic that helped shape maritime laws today. It was quite sad seeing all the names of the people that died and the percentage of crew and third class passengers that did not survive. I really thought there would be more artifacts in the museum. I was disappointed with the lack thereof. Cool to check out, but if you have to go out of your way, I wouldn't recommend it.

    I wasn't expecting much before coming here but was wowed by the experience. The museum does a great job capturing how many things went wrong to cause such a large loss of life on the most luxurious ship of its time. There is one ride complete with safety belts like at an amusement park that takes you on about a five-minute tour of the operations behind the scenes of the workers who were employed to take care of the bells and whistles behind the ship. There are a lot of state-of-the-art technologies that help display all the facts and it was a truly sobering experience for me to visit this museum. If you have an interest in the Titanic, you should definitely come visit. As always people SYOY!!!!

    This was one of the most amazing museums that I've been to. They put a lot into this museum and it was jam packed with every aspect of the titanic. They dedicated sections from each aspect of the process. From making the fibers for the ropes used all they way to the welders welding portions of the ship together. We did an interactive tour which was almost like a ride where you heard testimony of shop builders.

    Review for White Star Line package (includes guided tour, SS Nomadic, entrance ticket, souvenir stuff) I am glad I did the guided tour. There was a sizable group of about 25 I think, and our guide took us through the Titanic Hotel, and added a lot of extra information verbally (through headsets) about the genesis of the project and construction up through it's completion. It was nice to get some 'bonus' information while walking around outside the museum. Though the guide was very thorough with the information, there may have been a slight awkwardness or lack of enthusiasm. That's being hyper-critical. Engaging the crowd with banter and wit is a hard skill to master. I think everyone enjoyed the tour. The museum itself is nicely laid out, the exhibits and displays are informative. The short "Disney ride" through the eyes of the workers on building the ship felt a little bit arbitrary and unnecessary in a museum like this. I would do away with it personally, as it added nothing to the experience except waiting in a queue for 20 minutes for a 5 minute ride. Unfortunately, the large crowds take away from a nice experience. You have annoying kids running around and screaming, you have selfish tourists oblivious to those around you, and you have small displays that are hijacked by phone-addicted social media addicts. The souvenir book you get (with the White Star Line package) is a nice little book for the coffee table or the loo. You get a choice of an engraved fridge magnet or a coin as well (engraved with the month/year of your visit). I've been fascinated with the Titanic ever since I was a kid, watching the NatGeo documentary where Ballard discovers it in his little submarine, so for those of us that had the Scholastic book as kids, it's kind of a rite of passage. Definitely worth it, but could use some adjustments to make it better. Visit during the off-season, and I imagine it is a nicer experience. In July, it was just about as much as I could tolerate.

    Ride!

    The Titanic museum was highly recommended and so we bought tickets/made reservations ahead of time. I would also recommend giving yourself plenty of time, we didn't realize we would be as engaged as we were and had to rush towards the end. The museum features Belfast as much as it does the Titanic. It flows from Belfast's begging of industrialism, into the building of the two ships, as well as the engagement of the city. We were pleasantly surprised by the gondola ride. I Overall, a well done, engaging museum for any level of interest in Belfast and the Titanic.

    So glad we went early in the am as it got packed when we were leaving. Also, if you can go early you save about 5 euro per ticket before 10am. I wasn't super excited about this tour but after being there I understand the hype. This tour was more than just a walk through of history and I left feeling emotionally impacted by the exhibits.

    Such a powerful experience. I've found at times in life that even when I think I know a good deal about a place/people/event, I love visiting a museum because I always end up learning SO much more than I had before. This museum is beautifully cultivated, with an in-depth chronological progression from the construction of the ship, looks at some of the identified passengers and crew, and of course the horrific tragedy itself. It culminates with a powerful tribute to those who lost their lives in this event and, a rather emotional experience and an opportunity to pay respects to these individuals. I'm confident you will be impressed with the quality and effort put into the museum that is definitely worth the trip for the visit. After going through the museum, I was left wanting to know more about the aftermath of the tragedy and one such perspective I found in the gift shop is the book "And the Band Played On" by Christopher Ward. So far so good! Lots of other great items in the gift shop as well.

    We actually did not do the Titanic Experience and SS Nomadic priced at 26.95. We did the Discovery Tour priced at 17.00. We are so glad we did because the Discovery Tour comes with a tour guide who walks you around the (now hotel) where plans were made, where construction was done and deep insight to the architecture of the building. I learned so much and my jaw was dropped during most of the tour. I would say this was like a prequel to the Titanic sinking, whereas most of the history shown in the US is post Titanic sinking. I think if we did the Titanic Experience and walked through the museum on our own, I would have just glossed over a lot. Really incredible experience to stand right where the ship itself was built.

It cost £6.50 (had a £2 discount coupon). The last tour of the day is at 4:30pm but it's also cool that the main building is open till late because of the restaurant located inside. Hearing about what went on was truly horrific but overall this was an okay experience for me. I think I was expecting more info about the troubles and the political prisoners but that wasn't really our tour guide's focus. He also started the tour by asking for volunteers but nothing was done involving a volunteer! It's an hour's tour and the visit to the tunnel plus the hangman info was the most interesting bits of the tour for me. Another tip - Don't miss checking out the beautiful but now derelict courthouse opposite the street. The govt sold it for £1 but it's going to take a fair bit of bob to put it back to rights! So overall it was interesting tour but maybe Note: #222 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

I booked the tickets online and came along this October hoping for a spooky experience. We were greeted at the gates by security who explained how to get around into the car park, and got parked up with no issues. We waited in the coffee shop 'The Crum' - and had a wine and beer each prior to the tour. When the tour started, we were initially taken into a holding area, and then began by being taken into the tunnel linking the jail to the courthouse, where allegedly, paranormal activity has taken place! Unfortunately (or thankfully, maybe) we experienced no such activity on our trip. We were then taken into a side room where an employee was said to have met a grisly end, and we were instructed to record audio on our phones. Next, we were taken to one of the wings where we could see the cells (and inside the cells) and last but not least, we were shown to the condemned man's cell, and behind the book case to the gallows, before being taken down into the basement. We didn't experience any ghostly going's on in our trip, but I would definitely come back again, this time during the day, so I can get a proper look at the inside of the jail, since the tour I did was in the dark or low light. Recommended!

The beautiful white medal perfectly balanced the contrast between nature and industrial features while complementing the space and giving these particular plants a specific place to grow, such as succulents. The rose gardens reminded me of something from Alice in Wind with how the grass paths were weaved between the rose bushes and some of the flowers looked fake because they were so healthy and vibrant.  There are two newer greenhouses that were built specifically for tropical plants. Inside of each of these greenhouses, the temperature and humidity was set to stay at the perfect settings for these tropical plants to thrive. They were multiple stories so that the trees could grow tall and the vines could grow long and even go all the way up to the rafters.

    W5 is officially described as 'an interactive discovery centre' which doesn't sound half as much…read morefun as it really is. It is an educational place, but boy is it fun! The first time we went, my kids were absolutely blown away - there is nothing else in Belfast in this league. There are 4 separate areas - START, GO, SEE and DO and each has loads of fun stuff for kids and the adults with them to do. START is best for younger children - although my 9 year old still secretly loves it. You can't imagine some of the exhibits and best of all, you are allowed to touch and get involved with everything. First thing you'll see is the fully functioning mini branch of Tesco - shelves, fruit, veg, packets and a chilled counter with fake lobsters and mussels and even a till which beeps as you put each item through. Genius. Then there's the real Mini car which you can tinker around with, a mini building site with crane and foam bricks and roof tiles, a huge water play area (they even provide waterproof aprons), and how great is this - a recording studio where you can watch yourself on screen as you play a wooden guitar. I mean the children can watch themselves, obviously I haven't done that. GO is all about space so will appeal to junior astronauts. You can sit on pulley chairs which you have to use your own body strength to lift, join in a massive tug of war, experiment with magnets, and build and race K'Nex cars. SEE - I love this bit. You can create cartoons and add sound effects. I think I missed my vocation in life. Even better, you can make music with lights and your movements. This section is quite 'laboratory' like and will appeal to even too cool for skool pre and early teens. Finally there is DO, where you can get stuck in building robots and learning all about our weather systems. Like anything you make in W5, you have to respect the rules and leave your model behind for someone else to dismantle and use the materials. There is a café but it sells a limited selection of scones and sandwiches. But the good news is that there are picnic areas so you can bring your own food, saving money and ensuring that your kids will have something they like. There's also a shop which sells reasonably priced gadgets and toys. A stroke of genius is that there are lockers on the ground floor so don't have to carry bags and coats etc which I think is fab, especially in winter when you'll have hats, scarves etc too. A ticket for 2 adults and 2 children will cost £22. That might seem off putting at first glance but bear in mind that your ticket is valid for the full day and you can leave for something to eat in one of the nearby restaurants and go back in. You could easily spend 3 -4 hours at W5, especially on your first visit. I cannot recommend W5 highly enough for a family day out , just one word of caution, wet days in the summer holidays can be crazy busy in W5, so go first thing or later on in the day.

In particular the kids seemed to enjoy the discovery area which is for under 8's only. It is a great place for children to get into role play as it is set out in real life situations and allows children to learn about themselves and the world around them as well as encouraging them to experiment. There is a little water area which is particularly good for sensory and motor development and the little ones appeared to have a ball in here! One tip is to bring an extra set of clothes for them because if they are anything like this child they (and everyone else around them) will be soaked from head to toe!! Children under 3 years go free and £8.50 for an adult. They also do great family offers and all in all it is a great family day out for all ages :)

The folk museum is totally fascinating and is based around a full size village with a school, a pub, a bank, church, shop, a cinema, town and rural buildings, all of which have been painstakingly taken down brick by brick and moved from their original site, moved to the museum and rebuilt brick by brick. You can look round inside all the buildings which have been furnished with the appropriate furniture etc and even go upstairs in some.

I'd read about the Exhibition in one of those tourist magazines, and instantly knew I had to go and see it. I dragged my sister along (well, she is studying History A Level), and due to us both being unfamiliar with this area of Belfast, we found the brown signs most helpful. The building itself looks just like an office, and houses other societies and businesses, with the Home Front Exhibition just covering the bottom floor.

I do believe this to be true in this case though, for had the exhibition been any bigger, it really wouldn't have had the same effect. Everything was there in an appropriate measure, and it worked just fine. There's an interactive guide which informs you of the different exhibits in the room, and provides you with helpful pointers on each. As soon as we had listened to this, the ever-so-helpful guide / assistant came over and told us a few stories, answered our questions, referred us to different exhibits and even produced a baby's gas-mask from a trunk-full of genuine war artifacts. The emphasis is on the war in NI, which includes the Belfast Blitz, the influence of the Americans in WWII and GI Brides, the impact the Second World War had on the women, lists of those who lost their lives in both WWI and WWII, the part on which Belfast played in the likes of ship-building in WWII, and more. There is a hugely impressive stained-glass window, built in memory of those who lost their lives, as well as a marble wall depicting further commemoration. All the exhibits are very well put together, informative and thought-provoking. Gripping stuff. The Home Front Exhibition in the NI War Memorial building is definitely one to see. And it's free!

Though small, taking up only one room, the exhibition is large enough to draw together aspects of the how the Second World War affected Northern Ireland in an interesting and digestible way. The displays, which contain pictures, memorabilia and models clothed from the period, focus on the US forces in Northern Ireland, the Blitz in Belfast, the role of women and how people coped with the privations of rationing and put into practice the idea of 'make do and mend'. The leaflets that are available to take home are well produced and illustrated. The exhibition is a worthy, sensitively designed reminder of such a difficult, frightening time in the not so distant past.
