    Very well done
    We reserved our tickets on-line when we arrived in Belfast. The tickets have a timed entry. Since we were early, we walked over to the SS Nomadic that was in the same area as the Titanic Experience. Our ticket included admission to there as well. All aspects of the exhibition were very well done, and we really enjoyed our stay, including the Shipyard Ride. Since we were on a tour and had to meet our group for dinner, we could not spend as much time here as we wanted. I would recommend between 3-4 hours depending on the crowds. Some areas were a little more congested than others as you walk through the exhibits. They also have a couple nice gift shops on the first floor.

    Worth every penny
    Both my wife and I enjoyed the exhibition from start to finish. Extremely well thought out with no silly gimmicks. Really dramatic atmosphere towards the end featuring the tragic sinking. All the staff were happy, friendly and very knowledgeable 10/10. Oh and Karen was lovely in The Pantry

    Excellent
    Thoroughly enjoyed our morning here. So informative about the history of Belfast as well as the building of the famous ship. The experiences were a good mix of interactive, visual and audio as well as a gentle ‘ride’ through the workers building Titanic. The end of the experience, detailing those lost in the tragedy was very moving and sensitivity presented and we really enjoyed reading the survivors stories. A must see for any visitor to this beautiful city.

    fantastic and moving experience
    Was 50/50 about visiting initially as my interest level in the Titanic was moderate. However I would have kicked myself if I hadn't gone there.. so informative, well designed layout, great lighting and visual effects. If you are in Belfast you just have to visit.
    Thank you so much your kind feedback. I’m so delighted to hear that you had such a successful visit with us and that you enjoy finding out more about the Titanic Story. I hope we can welcome you again in the future!

    Truly amazing experience
    The Titanic Museum is a must. Situated on the original docks where the Titanic was built, the museum takes you on a chronological journey through the history and the creation of the Titanic. It can take you around 3/4 hours to fully digest the information on show, so make sure you arrive early! It’s by far the best and most insightful museum I have ever been to, there’s even a ride half-way through!

    What an experience - a truly emotional day.
    The experience I had today is one I will remember for the rest of my life, for years it has been my dream to come to Belfast to the birthplace of the worlds greatest ship the RMS Titanic. Myself and my partner opted for the White Star Premium pass which allowed for a 1 hour guided tour (which I’ll explain below) as well as access all areas to the museum, the ticket also allows you entry to the Nomadic and a souvenir at the end of the trip. I won’t give away too many spoilers but it’s safe to say the museum is of the highest standard and you’ll love it. But I want take a moment to talk about our tour guide Pip, this gentleman has easily been the highlight of my trip to Belfast. A bit of backstory about myself, my late father was a Titanic historian who taught me everything I know about Titanic. We lost him when I was 9 (I’m 26 now) and I hadn’t heard anyone talk as passionately about Titanic until I met Pip today. Pip is a credit to the people of Belfast, from his passionate storytelling to the empathy he portrays to every person involved in building the ship, his raw emotion and connection to the ship genuinely put a tear in my eye this afternoon. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you did today Pip you brought the ship and it’s people back to life today.

    We visited the museum back in March and had a wonderful time. Museum guide Fiona made our experience so memorable by sharing so much detailed knowledge about artifacts recovered and stories of the people who survived. Would recommend to anyone!

    Fascinating and well-designed
    Well worth the cost - loads to see and do, and at least 90 minutes to get round if moving steadily. I went early (cheaper before 10am) and I also had the SS Nomadic in my ticket price. The Nomadic is worth the visit, a bit basic after the main museum, but a curiosity nevertheless. The main museum is a feast for the senses and the final section which looks at the wreck is a fitting way to complete the tour.

    A hard life
    Superb visit. Lots of visitors but never felt overwhelmed. You definitely do not need the audio guide. It's not just about the disaster but covers the whole building of the ship and the importance of shipbuilding in the economy of Belfast in the early 19th century. A hard life.

    Fantastic Tour
    The titanic tour was an experience I will never forget, our tour guide Rob was one in a million. After the tour finished I saw Rob upstairs and he went out of his way to show me some pictures that I mentioned to him about the staircase in the film. Anyway thank you Rob so much great guy great experience.

Student discount system most illogical I’ve ever seen. Only available on weekdays when weekends are the only time students are free to visit, especially from outside of Belfast. Practically queued the entire way through the exhibit, which was constantly playing different sounds and audio stories over each other so it was just one big bundle of sound. Michael is an excellent staff member and the ride was excellent but wish the whole museum had been like this.

Thanks for taking the time to get in contact and I’m sorry to hear that your visit fell below expectations. We do have a plan in place to try to keep a steady flow moving through the building but nonetheless we appreciate it can get very crowded at times. We’re sorry to hear this impacted on your visit. Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the shipyard ride and that you had a good experience with our wonderful crew member, Michael. I'll be sure to pass on your comments regarding our student discount to the relevant departments and once again, can only thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

I did enjoy the Titanic museum, I’m a big fan of the Titanic so I’m glad I went and would recommend it to anyone.

However I was expecting so much more. I was slightly underwhelmed and my expectations weren’t met.

It takes you through the years starting in the 1700s showing Belfast as a city and explains why the Titanic was built there, all the way through to discovering the wreck in 1985.

I was expecting to see artefacts recovered from the wreck; maybe a life jacket, some clothes, salvaged furniture or a lifeboat. There was the odd watch or china plate here and there but nothing spectacular.

There was very little on the sinking, survivors or people lost in the disaster. I had so many unanswered questions: What happened to Captain Smith in his last moments? Thomas Andrews? The Orchestra? Has anyone tried to find the lifeboats that just miraculously disappeared?

It felt more of story being told in a modern day exhibition rather than a museum.

It’s £2 extra for a audio tour if you use your own smartphone and headphones (they did give me one of their own headsets which is usually £4). It wasn’t really needed as there’s so much to read but for the sake of £2 it’s worth it.

I did enjoy it and spent a good 4 hours in there, I learnt a lot and there was some great exhibits. The ride was enjoyable and the Nomadic experience was excellent (although you couldn’t go on the outside decks due to Covid-19) but I was expecting a lot more on the disaster.

My friend & I purchased a Titanic  experience standard ticket online in advance but decided to upgrade to the White Star pass on arrival which included the discovery guided tour & it was the best decision I've made. To be clear I do not do museum's very often at all, since being dragged round them as a child by my parents I seem to have developed a phobia & usually avoid them at all costs! This one however was different, very different, this museum I was desperate to visit since it was built, partly because I love the film & wanted to learn more about the actual Ship & partly because I visited 10 years earlier & all there was a gift shop that was closed! After we upgraded we joined one of the first guided tours of the day. Shirley was our guide & she was absolutely brilliant, she told the historical story of Titanic in such a heartwarming manner, actually making us quite tearful at one point. She was extremely detailed & knowledgeable, as if she'd experienced it all first hand. She was always checking that everyone in the group was present before she continued with the next stage/room/chapter. She was happy, friendly welcoming & helpful with any questions. Our perfect guide. This tour took about an hour & takes you into the impressive Titanic Hotel & into several different rooms where the plans were drawn. We then moved outside to view the launch area & then inside into the Titanic experience.
After the tour had finished we collected our headsets & continued the journey through Titanic's history on our own, wandering from deck to deck listening intensely to the audio. The graphics & technology involved were amazing! Interactive, entertaining & includes a ride through Titanic's complex construction processes.
This wasn't just any museum, it's carved the new future for all museums!
When we finally finished we spent time in the gift shop (a much improved one to 10 years ago I'll add!) & headed outside to the SS Nomadic. Sadly by this point we were exhausted from walking (yes there's quite a bit of it) & having realised we'd spent 5 hours, yes 5 hours walking around we decided to rest our feet & find a pub! There is food & drink available inside the museum though. We had a lovely tea break before our guided tour started! And if your lucky you may be treated to some traditional Irish dancing & music that takes place in the centre concourse.
This was an amazing experience, well worth the wait & the length of time we took to get round everything, (nearly everything, sorry  SS Nomadic!).
Good value for money too. I would definitely recommend & I would actually return! 🙂
Ps we visited just before lockdown, so things may have altered slightly since then.

We had read previous reviews of Titanic Belfast and had anticipated staying for a maximum of 3 hours.
Eventually we left after approximately 6 hours including lunch.
We bought the White Star Premium passes which included the discovery tour and a visit to SS Nomadic and we felt that it was great value considering the amount of time that we were on site.
The exhibition in itself was very informative and we learnt a lot of new things about this ill-fated voyage.
The highlight for us though was the Discovery Tour, our guide (Shirley) added the much needed human element to the story of the Titanic which was emotive at times.
The tour began with a walk through the hotel next door which had previously been the Harland & Wolff Offices, you could imagine the draughtsmen designing the ships in the natural light provided by the sky lights.
We moved on to the offices of key H&W staff and Shirley's account really brought it back to life for us.
We walked around the outside of the building, seeing the key architectural features and how they related to the titanic herself.
On moving into the building Shirley once again excelled at bringing this story to life.
After a lovely lunch in the Pantry we ventured on to the SS Nomadic. Once again we were greeted by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable member of staff who told us more about the vessel which is the last remaining White Star vessel and gave us a feel of what the Titanic would have been like all of the years ago.
10/10 I would definitely recommend this venue.

We bought the £19 tickets which includes access to the tender ship Nomadic in the dry dock outside. The Titanic experience itself was located in an impressive building located at the end of the slipways where the actual ship and its sister ship were built. Visitors walk through the exhibition which takes you through the history of the area, the people that built the ship, details of the cabins and internal fit out, the people on board, the collision and the aftermath and includes interactive areas and even a 'ride' through the ship while its being built. One of our party was wheelchair bound and was able to use an electric scooter to go round the exhibition and there were plenty of lifts available. After the exhibition we visited the coffee shop prior to going round the Nomadic which is in a dry dock a short distance outside.

Went to the Titanic Museum in Belfast yesterday as my daughter was doing the subject at school. We were lucky enough to be able to get booked on the White Star Premium guided tour with Rob who was an absolutely fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and his personality really brought it all to life, he got the kids and adults involved.
The galleries were also really good and if you go to them after the tour it really helps you to understand what each part is showing. The ticket also got us access to the SS Nomadic which was also staffed with very knowledgeable, passionate people who clearly love what they do.
The cafe is stocked with lovely cakes and freshly made foods, definitely worth a visit. The gift shop is well stocked and reasonably priced.
In all it was a very enjoyable day and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Well done Rob and all the team who brought this tragic story to life with compassion and empathy.

My husband and I visited the titanic museum and were very glad we pre-booked as saw lots of people being politely turned away at the doors. All the staff were friendly and helpful with ensuring social distancing was maintained.
The museum itself is great- starting with learning about the history of Belfast and the ship building industry and then the titanic part. The references made to those that died was respectful and there are recordings of survivors voices that was very moving.
The museum is well executed with videos and interactive displays.
We were however very disappointed that we couldn’t visit the Normadic. We were led to believe we could go on the boat but it was closed up and no staff or signage was available to explain if it had closed early or was closed due to social distancing not being feasible on board.
I wouldn’t visit again but wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the museum to any new visitors.

Five of us booked for afternoon tea to celebrate my wife’s birthday. When we arrived we were shown to a table which was big enough for 10 or more, so it was difficult to converse, as some were quite distant from one another. We waited for about 20 minutes before we got our teas, and about 25 minutes before we got our food. Unfortunately some of the sandwiches were a little dried up. Others seemed very fresh.
Apart from the above, the tea, scones and cakes were good, and the room is very nice. However, at the price charged, we felt that we didn’t really get value for money.

Belfast has an absolute gem here. I recommend booking in advance particularly in Covid times to avoid disappointment.Engaging from the minute you start your tour, gives a balanced and complete history of the city, socially and commercially. The ski car trip to the bowels of the ship during its construction was epic, brought it all to life. Families, history and movie lovers will enjoy!

This exhibition was everything I wanted it to be and more.

The galleries were imaginative and informative, the layout was easy to follow, and some of the interactive exhibits were fun.

We were extremely impressed that the exhibition included some background to Belfast's historical industries, and how the shipyards grew and became the main source of income for so many families.

Many of the exhibits focus on the social and economic structure of the time, the planning and construction of Titanic and the aftermath of the sinking. The disaster is, of course, covered, but in a low key and respectful way.

Don't go and see this exhibition if all you're interested in is the sinking of the ship, but I would thoroughly recommend it for anyone who has an interest in the whole picture!
