Plenty to do and see for all at W5! Not too far outside Belfast and must visit for families when visiting the city!

Great spot for discovery, learning and tons of fun for all, young and old! Very underrated, probably best discovery centre on the entire island. Will definitely come back!

There was plenty of exhibits and fun interactive things to go. It was a bit busy but nothing out of the ordinary. You could always find a free area so waiting time was minimal. The build your own race car bit wasn't really up to much and there was a bit broken on one exhibit and another was out of order. Other than that a good day with both physical and mental activities a plenty
