Planning a day out that keeps the family entertained can be challenging! But when it comes to finding a place that sparks curiosity, encourages learning, and is packed with fun, W5 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is the perfect choice. W5 is a staggering array of interactive exhibitions—you'll have a full day's worth of fun, and the kids will keep you engaged throughout this compelling experience.

Things To Do at W5 W5 is the ultimate interactive exhibit in Northern Ireland, with 250 hands-on exhibits to try - you're in for a treat! This family favourite will have you walking through a dinosaur-themed maze, exploring the medical marvel of the human body, becoming scientists at the purpose-built science bar and more! Get elevated on the pulley chairs, become a space explorer, make magnets move or build and race your own K'nex car - all at W5.

There's truly something for everyone to enjoy. Design and build structures, bring robots to life, make patterns and play virtual sports. Oh, make sure to say hi to the life sized interactive roboto - RoboThespian!

Then, stop by the science bar for a daily science show that will truly inspire you! Be a weatherman or a car mechanic! Customise a real Mini in the W5 Garage, splash in the water area with ball canons, make some noise with the sound exhibits in the music studio, watch your skeleton ride a bike or take time out at the role-play TESCO and cafe staffed by you!

The kids will love the immersive roleplay! They also have an area with exhibits particularly suited for children aged five and under. Explore your senses in the woodland area or try and design your very own butterfly or flower.

Or why not become an interior designer and decorate your little house just as you want. Then, create your own roads, villages, and railways and journey around their model landscape. That's not all!

Scale heights on Climbit (W5's biggest exhibit ever) - it's an immersive multistorey climbing experience that will have you defying gravity! And don't forget to check out the Making Sense zone.
