Attractions

There's plenty worth seeing in Northern Ireland - wherever you go, our museums, visitor centres, historic and scenic attractions put the emphasis on participation.

For instance, our stately homes and history parks aren't just for viewing; visitors can experience life as it was lived in times gone by. Our museums have exhibits you can touch and explore. Even our most famous sights, like the Giant's Causeway, Carrickfergus Castle or the Ulster American Folk Park positively encourage you to 'nosy' around and indulge your curiosity.

Northern Ireland's attractions fall into several categories. Most are ideal for children; they'll never forget the thrill of touching sea life at Exploris Aquarium or pretending they're train drivers at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum.

Come on up, look around, and before you know it, you're getting involved too!
