Full Description
W5 in Belfast is one of those indoor attractions where children can learn without feeling like they are in a classroom. Packed with hands-on science, engineering and discovery experiences, it is a brilliant choice when the weather is not on your side.
There is plenty to press, test, build and explore, with activities that encourage children to ask questions and try things for themselves. Younger children can enjoy age-appropriate interactive play, while older ones can get stuck into trickier challenges and experiments. With so much happening across the centre, it is worth leaving plenty of time and letting the children lead the way.
This is a lovely choice when you want a day out with something a little different for the wee ones. Take your time, follow their interests and enjoy making memories together.
What You'll Find
Families can explore interactive science and discovery exhibits covering everything from engineering and technology to the human body and natural world. The hands-on approach means children are encouraged to get involved rather than just look.
