An unexpected pleasure to talk to the very well formed staff member and get some beautifully illustrated booklets and brochures about the local area. I am hoping to enlighten some friends in England as Tom the attractions of Northern Ireland!

Lisburn Visitor Information Centre

Reviewed By OrangeLisburn - Lisburn, United Kingdom

Situated in Lisburn Square, close to car parks, the city centre, and restaurants this Visitor Information Centre fulfils it's role admirably. It's just across the way from the local Bus Centre. Staff were friendly and helpful; unlike many centres/shops, the gentleman behind the PayPoint "got up" and showed me the leaflet that I had enquired about (instead of "just pointing"!). Well stocked with free booklets and leaflets on interesting local areas to visit and attractions throughout N. Ireland. A free Lisburn (local city) Map was also available. Travel type books and Irish Craft items were also on sale - at reasonable prices. The entrance is just "off the street" - flat, and suitable for wheelchair users. (The new 52-bedroom, £4m Haslem Hotel, is currently under construction - beside the Visitors Centre - and is planned to open later this year (2020). It is expected to be 4*).

We were ably assisted by the fabulous and friendly Mary C, and her tips and suggestions enhanced our visit to this part of Northern Ireland. We would encourage the powers that be to have the Visitor Information Centre Open all year, as there is no “off” season and visitors will benefit from the vast knowledge of the staff all year round.

Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre

Important notice - In line with Northern Ireland Executive guidance, the Giant's Causeway Visitor Experience is currently closed. We look forward to welcoming you back when it is safe to do so

Reviewed By Emaysie - Western Australia, Australia

Would 100% recommend anyone the experience to come here! My sister and I are National Trust members, so we got to go into the visitor centre which has many cool exhibitions and a souvenir shop. If you buy a ticket, then you can come in here. It also included an audio guide which was very interesting. But you can see the landscape and rocks for free just by walking by the visitor centre. However parking does cost if you park at the visitor centre. You can walk along the road along the coast or also along the top of the cliffs. The landscape is amazing and a real must do!
