Titanic Belfast

If you're visiting Belfast, you NEED to visit the Titanic museum. The museum offers so much knowledge, not only of the Titanic itself but of the history of Belfast and the industry that existed there. The layout of the museum is perfect and each section flows expertly into the next, helping to set the tone and tell the narrative of the story. The staff were so friendly and offered even more information to all visitors. There is so much information contained in this museum that I think to read everything you would need to spend an entire day there, however the interactive displays allow you to read as much or as little as you wish, meaning you can choose how deep you wish to delve. The section that covers the sinking is incredibly moving and very respectfully done. Both my partner and I had goosebumps while we were in this room. Even just the exterior of the building is beautifully done. The cafe also offers incredible food at a very reasonable price. My partner and I had the seafood chowder and a piece of cake, both of which were delicious. The ticket cost does also cover entrance to another boat nearby, but unfortunately we ran out of time and were unable to visit. To summarise, this museum is amazing and worth every penny of the entrance fee. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast as a must see before they leave.

Well presented Titanic story with good use of audio visual technologies including a short 'ride' through part of the Titanic construction site. Lots of good photographs with text and audio commentary alongside interactive displays. The balance between the human and more technical aspects of the Titanic story was good giving the experience wide appeal. Initially appeared to be a bit expensive, but it was easy to lose just over an hour working our way through the experience and we didn't read everything or look at every display. A perfect place to spend time if the weather isn't good and you are interested in the Titanic.

I actually got to go here for a work function and it was a great event space. The staircase replica from the Titanic makes a great backdrop for any type of formal event. The crockery with the white star line logo is a nice flashback and really adds to making this place a unique experience. The food was great and the only suggestion for an improvement would be to allow guests to experience some of the museum, only some because then it would make you want to come back and do the whole thing. Overall had a great time there and really enjoyed the space for an event. Something different!

Well worth the hype! A modern interactive exhibition about the design, construction and journey of the fated ship. Plenty of informative boards to read or take an audio to add extra detail. The slow moving ride made me appreciate the human effort that went into every piece (a 5 man team to add just the rivets!). As many said "she was alright when she left Belfast!" suggest you do not go on Wednesday as that is when the cruise ship docks .

This is a HUGE exhibit. Be prepared to be there for most of the day (4-5 hours), and take the discovery for beforehand. There are some really well thought out features to the building that they discuss that could be easily missed otherwise. Very informative tour, but it talks about much more than Titanic (you don't even really great to Titanic until the third or so section of the tour). Great history on Belfast and the industry, lots to read and see. Not like the travelling showcase that they do at Space and Science centers, but very in depth and detailed. The SS Nomadic was interesting as well, though for me, it was underwhelming after the care put into the exhibit as the ship is mostly empty. Definitely worth going to if the Titanic interests you, but it will take up a good portion, of not all of your day.
