EXTENDED: The Creatures of Phoenix Island

Due to demand, The Creatures of Phoenix Island have extended their residency at W5 until 29 September.

Building on the roaring success of W5's 2023 summer experience - DRAGONS, these fabled creatures are staying a little longer at Belfast's award-winning science and discovery centre. But this time, they're not alone!

Step into Phoenix Island, a land lost in time, a land of fantasy and adventure. Home to giant talking trees, carnivorous plants, dragons, unicorns, wizards, warriors, and the legendary Phoenix itself. You will be able to come face-to-face with some of these incredible creatures in a magical experience for all the family.

The area of the island we will take you to is relatively safe. However, we always advise a degree of caution when you are around dragons! Watch out for a rare carnivorous plant which has been seen in the forest area. If you see it - treat it with extreme caution!

Prepare to stand before these incredible creatures from a world of imagination, brought to life in a breathtaking fusion of full-size animatronic figures, immersive soundscapes, scene settings, and large-scale projections. Let the adventure begin!

Running times in September:

Thursdays: 10am-4pm

Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: 10am-6pm

Exceptions:

Sunday 8 September: 1pm-6pm

Friday 13 September: 10am-5pm

This experience is FREE with general admission to W5 and does not need to be booked separately. Pre-booking your visit to W5 is essential.
