We had a fantastic day out at W5. Our four kids ages 4,5,9 and 11 really enjoyed it, we spent 5 hours there including the soft play at the end of the day. All the young staff were so friendly and helpful. The upper floors were uncomfortably warm after the recent spell of hot weather.
Had a fantastic time at W5 Belfast! The interactive exhibits are brilliant for both kids and adults, with loads of hands-on activities that keep everyone entertained and learning at the same time. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole place was clean, modern, and very well organised. The climbing area and science exhibits were especially impressive, and there’s easily enough to spend several hours exploring everything. Great value for a family day out in Belfast — highly recommend visiting whether you’re local or just in the city for a trip!
W5 Belfast was an amazing experience! There was so much to see and do that you could easily spend the whole day there without getting bored. The interactive exhibits were fun and engaging for all ages, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Belfast
Way better than I expected. Brilliant day out with the kids. 4 hours flew by without a single complaint from any of them
I can't believe how amazing this place is and how great it is value for money wise. We spent around 4 hours in here today and it is definitely the best science centre we have been to so far. So much to do and loads of fun things for kids of all ages and adults to do. I especially like how your ticket lasts all day and you can leave and come back. My favourite thing about this place though, was that they have accessible bathrooms which have changing stations for adults with disabilities to get changed on. This is the first time I have seen this and it's a fabulous idea, as a carer I have had to change adults on bathroom floors which isn't hygienic nor dignifying. We absolutely will be back here for a day out again and have recommended it to friends and family, coming to visit.
