Description

Due to popular demand, DRAGONS at W5 has been extended!

That’s right, you can now encounter these mythical beasts at Belfast’s award-winning science and discovery centre until 30 September 2023.

Step into a magical world this month and witness these fabled beasts come to life before your very eyes. Through a fusion of larger-than-life animatronics, powerful puppetry and fantastical projections, watch these DRAGONS move, roar and even breathe smoke.

From the huge Shadow Dragon to a young Land Dragon, are you brave enough to come face-to-face with these creatures?

Keep an eye out on your visit to W5 as, from time to time, Dragon Handlers will be taking Dracignis, the Fire Dragon, on walks around W5’s AMAZE space.

Plus, don’t forget, throughout the month of September, you can visit W5 for ONLY £7!*

This walk-through experience is free with admission to W5.

*T&Cs apply. Offer ends 01.10.23.
