For the little extra it's really worth taking the guided tour. The guides are passionate and bring the dock alive. Very friendly staff in the coffee shop too.

Owner description:
Titanic's Dock and Pump-House is the world's only authentic Titanic landmark. It is the last place Titanic rested on dry ground, and is her physical footprint in history. Visitors can experience life in 1912 by descending 44 feet into the colossal dry dock and walk in the footsteps of the men who worked in the shipyard a century ago. Experience the engineering behind the legendary pump-house, which still houses the original pumping engines, situated deep in the pump-well. The Pump-House also includes a visitor center and cafe, where you can relax and enjoy hot and cold snacks, refreshments, free wi-fi, or even pick up a souvenir or two from our Titanic gift shop. An inspiring and thought-provoking experience awaits you!

I wasn't so sure about this, but it was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was excellent - knowledgable and passionate. It was great to go down inside the dry dock and really see it from that perspective. I learned a lot, and actually found it really enjoyable. A definite must-do in Belfast.

This was an amazing experience, climbing down the stairs of the dry dock to below sea level and looking up at the huge vastness in front of you. Its haunting.
This is not easy to find and is approx half a mile further along the dock. There is a cafe at the start and you enter via here to the...

I am a Titanic buff (known as a "Titanorak" here), and I still learned so much on this tour. I definitely recommend taking the guided tour, especially with Colin, if he is available. The tour was lively, witty, interactive, and highly educational. I might go so far as to say it was better than the Titanic Belfast Experience. You stand...

After visiting the Titanic exhibition we walked a little further down to the pump house. This original building is a must. A short video explains the engineering and then you can descend down into the dry dock. When you realise that the Titanic filled the dry dock you gain a sense of the ship's vastness. - It is quite a...

To be fair, we visited Titanic Experience first and may be slightly biased. While we enjoyed seeing the original Titanic dock and appreciating its size, the attraction is a bit far and rather inaccessible. We walked 30 min from Titanic Experience and caught a cab on the way back. Also, the attraction doesn't offer a complete story of the Titanic....
