We felt the Giant's Causeway was over rated! Admittedly we got caught in a hail storm, freezing cold and VERY long waits for buses back up the hill. Too many people to be able to get any decent shots and most of those people most inconsiderate. More

One of a kind natural phenomena, the experience will probably be even better once the new Visitors' Centre opens soon. A word of caution, when walking on the horizontal faces of the columns, they can be slick so be careful. More

I loved this Centre as it was unlike most centres in that it had more than postcards and books(although it had these also).The gifts on display were different and of a good quality.The staff were helpful and informative.Certainly worth a visit. More

Go early to improve your chances of photos without people in. Consider walking down & getting the shuttle bus back up to the visitor centre. More

Visitor Centre still being built, so can't say much. Current restaurant and curio shop a bit crowded. More
