About
The Titanic Belfast visitor attraction extends over nine galleries, with multiple dimensions to the exhibition. Drawing together special effects, dark rides, full-scale reconstructions and innovative interactive features you will explore the Titanic story in a fresh and insightful way from her conception in Belfast in the early 1900s, through her construction and launch, to her infamous maiden voyage and catastrophic demise. The journey goes beyond the aftermath of the sinking, to the discovery of the wreck and continues into the present day in the Ocean Exploration Centre.

- Abs35971 contributionsInteresting but very crowdedThere is a lot to see in this exhibit, you need at least 2 hours to go round. However it was extremely crowded and difficult to be able to see everything or take time to read the information signs as people were pushing in or there were crowds already looking. There was about a 20 minute wait at one point to get to the lift to go up to the rest of the exhibits, and another 15 minute wait for the ride, which in my opinion wasn't worth it. Lots of information about Belfast is included. The wall of names is quite moving. Overall I enjoyed this, but the experience was impacted by how overcrowded it was. I probably would not visit again.Visited March 2023Travelled soloWritten 22 March 2023
- Janka KBrno, Czech Republic6,340 contributionsI was not bored at all. Worth of a whole day visitAmazing place! I and my boyfriend went for the tour where a tour guide walked us actually around the building of the museum, and told us some background information on how the life looked at the time when Titanic was being build, and what was happening at the time before, during and after sinking, from historical perspective, not from the perspective of the movies. After the tour, we went for the museum itself. This one is an exposition with multiple floors, telling the story of the times when the Titanic was being build, the stories of people working at Titanic, the passengers, the catastrophe, and what was happening afterwards. The part that was saying about life of common people living in Belfast was the first past and it was too long and boring for me. But everything else was super interesting! There is a convenient coffee shop and souvenir shop at the ground floor of the building. That's nice because you will need a break, and you will also want some memory after finishing at the museum. Reserve few hours, I would say 4 hours at minimum, because the exposition is really huge. But this also depends on how much attention do you pay to separate exposition places, or if you just walk through. I recommend buying the tickets in advance. Otherwise you will spend some time waiting in the queue. A big heads-up, the ticket for the tour and the ticket for museum itself are 2 different tickets.Visited June 2022Written 22 March 2023

- Jay NambiarPuttur, India6 contributionsAn Outstanding Experience at the Titanic BelfastThe tour is a self-learning tour, wherein one is guided by the museum authorities to the entrance after obtaining the hard copy of the tickets from the ticket counter. This Titanic museum has been very thoughtfully and tastefully created thus giving out the history of Belfast and the Titanic in particular. It's a must-see place and is highly recommended.Visited March 2023Written 29 March 2023

- claire cEdinburgh, United Kingdom16 contributionsFantastic attractionThis was my second visit to the Titanic museum and it didn’t disappoint. We’d booked the premium pass which included the discovery tour and entrance to The SS Nomadic, it does cost a bit extra but adults get a voucher worth £10 to spend in the restaurants or gift shops and a souvenir, and children get a very high quality activity pack and a souvenir, which I thought was good value for money. The museum has recently been refurbished, and I really liked how it takes you back in time into Belfast during the era of Titanic being built, and into the world of the H&W shipyard, rather than just being a stuffy place full of artefacts that don’t give that human perspective of just how important Titanic was to the people of Belfast. I particularly liked being able to see the locked up cabins to get an idea of what it was really like, and would have liked a few more exhibits like that, but what there was definitely left a lasting impression. The discovery tour, however, was the highlight for me. Our guide Pip was absolutely brilliant, bringing the social history behind Titanic to life. You could see how passionate he was on the subject, and it really captured both mine and my 9 year olds imaginations. He explained the significance of the attractions building and taught us things that no book ever could. He also took us into Thomas Andrews office in the Titanic hotel, with its original furniture and furnishings which really added to the tour. The Nomadic was a bit of a disappointment this time, as we weren’t allowed up on deck, which is a big attraction for going on the ship, but the fixtures and fittings definitely allowed our imaginations to tick away, allowing ourselves to imagine how it would have felt to be on the tender heading out towards the Titanic. All in all, I would highly recommend visiting if you ever get the chanceVisited April 2023Travelled with familyWritten 3 April 2023
- madeleineblueDublin, Ireland104 contributionsDo Not Miss This Fabulous TourSo much interesting information, and artefacts from the building of the ship to the passengers who travelled on her. Well worth spending at least an hour going through the museum. The layout is a mix of audio visual and historical documents. Fabulous!Visited March 2023Written 3 April 2023
- Mateusz SReading, United Kingdom389 contributionsWorth the money and the timeWe didn't book the tickets in advance as we were unsure about the weather. Plenty of tickets weere still available on the arrival. The museum is wort the money. It took us almost 3 hours to go through all rooms. We had no audio guide and read almost all information. The layout is very good, information displayed very interesting. Some of the rooms and the interactive activites were outstanding. The short ride on the cable cars inside the museum was our highlight.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 April 2023
- Quill2005Ocala, Florida231 contributionsWonderful Interactive and Moving Experience About the TitanicA well-done museum experience that gives visitors a very good idea of the building, history, and fate of the Titanic. Allow at least 2 hours. Be prepared to be both educated and moved by the experience. Children and adults will find this place very interesting. The museum is situated right where the Titanic was built and is an absolutely must-see when in Belfast.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 6 April 2023
- GS7 contributionsDon't miss thisThis is an impressive experience. Lots and lots of information, very imaginatively presented. Fits the Titanic into context in the White Star Line and into Belfast shipbuilding. Doesn't focus on the disaster itself. Was hugely busy (Easter Saturday) but even that was OK; it would be wise to choose a less popular day.Visited April 2023Written 10 April 2023

Our visit to the Titanic Museum in Belfast was a good experience. Not exactly what I had thought it was going to be.
We arriving early in the morning, we found out that booking tickets online would have been more cost-effective, so we quickly made the booking online in the lobby.
One intriguing aspect of our visit was the exhibit detailing the history of the Titanic's construction in Belfast. Learning about Harland and Wolff shipyard, where the Titanic was built, and the sheer magnitude of the undertaking provided a deeper appreciation for the ship's significance in maritime history. Inside, there is a fun little ride that added some excitement to our exploration. Was a neat way to change up kind of a boring museum.
As we wandered the museum, we were immersed in the story of the Titanic, from its ambitious design to its ill-fated maiden voyage. Interactive displays and signage offered insights into the lives of the passengers and crew, underscoring the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful night.
One particularly poignant moment was standing at the window overlooking where the shipyard once was, where the length of the Titanic was marked off. Seeing the scale of the vessel and imagining the bustling activity of the shipyard during its construction brought the history to life in a tangible way.
Afterward, we had the chance to walk outside and trace the ship's outline, adding another layer of connection to the history we had learned inside the museum. We have been on many cruise ships and walking this really made it feel small.

Firstly, I would like to thank Conor, our amazing tour guide who took us through the history of the Titanic and the facts about the museum itself. Conor knew the answer to every question that was asked, and even knew about individual passengers aboard the Titanic. His knowledge about the history of everything was outstanding. The way he told the story of the ship's final moments brought me to tears, his passion and knowledge absolutely blew me away. Thank you for the best tour I've ever had Conor.
For the rest of the museum, it was spectacular. To see the violin there was an amazing experience. The whole place is very professional and has some of the most detailed insights I've seen into Titanic.

Probably the best museum experience we've had as a family. If you love history and you're interested in the Titanic this is a must-see. It includes a small ride, fantastic artifacts, and mualiole sensory experiences from the shipbuilding to its discovery on the ocean floor. Our 14 and 16 year Olds loved it, too.

The museum is amazing especially all the staff. As this was our first trip to Belfast titanic. Myself and my friend had a hight issue as my friend doesn't like heights but the staff help us bypass the glass area of the museum that are open spaces and is very visible to look out of the window. It is very hard to say how well the service was during our visit. We both have a hidden disability and the staff are well accompanying and well aware of the sunflower lanyards. The staff also told us the area of the museum that might not be great for us and also pre showed us the route of the museum to help us get familiar with the area and the museum. It was amazing and can't thank all the staff enough on how well we were treated and how smoothly they made our visit.

Amazing guided tour by Connor who shared detail of the Titanic interspersed with personal experiences. Inside Titanic Belfast there is a lovely, although busy tour, which celebrates Belfast and the stunning engineering that built the Totanic. I’d skip the “ride” as there is nothing here that you won’t see elsewhere. The end of the tour is well toned remembering the people who lost their lives on that fateful night.

We really enjoyed the Titanic Belfast and both like the fact there was a focus on the social history of Belfast rather than sole focus being on the disaster. I would certainly visit again!

There really is something for everyone at this exhibition. I really loved the audio guide and all of the extra audio visual experiences. There is just so much information to take in. It does get very crowded though so arrive early to avoid this. Unfortunately, the ride was not working the day that we visited, which was a shame as I wanted to take my daughter on it as I had previously been on it and it’s been very very good. All staff members were excellent And we had a wonderful day. The shop is well stocked.

We came to Belfast to watch a music festival and needed to find things to do in the daytime. We chose to go to the Titanic experience and we are so glad we did. Not to over priced, we were so surprised to read lots of information on the history of Belfast itself, which we did not expect as we assumed we were going to read about the Titanic only. Belfast has a history that myself and my husband never knew about. it was a pleasant surprise to read all this information and added to the experience as a whole. When we arrived we were greated by a lovely tour guide who helped greatly in telling us how to navigate around the experience, she was very informative and friendly. There was so much to read and see, the Titanic information was fascinating and there was actual objects from the disaster on display too. It took around 3-4hrs to walk it if you read every plaque (which you should) A great day out.

This was the reason we came to Belfast as I’ve long been fascinated by the Titanic story.
The self guided tour takes around 2 hours and starts with the history of Belfast and the importance of the shipyards before moving on to the Titanic itself.
The ride totally immerses you in the shipyard with some jaw dropping facts about how she was built. It was hard, hard work.
The domino effect really brings it home how more lives could have been saved and the influence that has had on today’s safety measures onboard ships.
Finally, the suspended model of the Titanic above a video of how she now lies at the bottom of the Atlantic was profoundly moving.
The whole exhibition is brilliantly done, even to overlooking the slipway 401, where she was built alongside The Olympic, with both vessels outlined in granite in the ground.
It doesn’t take much to imagine the noise and the thousands of men working to build them.
Well worth the entrance fee and thoroughly recommended.

The palce is amazing. First you'll see the industrial context of the construction, and how pride they were; then you can see how it was designed inside and outside; then you have the aprt about the iceberg disaster and what they did to prevent it for the future. I cried, because it was a dreadful naked truth about a dreadful event, not at all like the movie or anything. But overall, we had a good time there.

When I was there you couldn't buy a ticket by walking up to the box office. You had to order it online on your phone and then tell them the res # so you might as well. I was there off-season so capacity wasn't an issue but that could be another reason in the busy season.
Can you get something to eat and drink while on the tour

No. at the beginning there is a cafe. While you are in the tour, unfortunately not. You would have to wait until the end
