Facing Donegall Quay, the Queen’s Quay is home to the Odyssey Pavilion & SSE Arena. The Odyssey was constructed in time for the Millennium in 2000, and is home to Northern Ireland’s largest indoor venue, located on a site once overlooking the world’s largest shipyard. The SSE Arena is home to Belfast’s one and only professional ice hockey team, the Stena Line Belfast Giants. The season promises plenty of fast and furious action that will have you on the edge of your seat, from bone-crunching hits to last minute game-winning goals
Also located at the Odyssey Pavilion is the innovative W5 Belfast, Ireland’s award-winning science and discovery centre. This interactive science centre is perfect for children and families, encouraging learning about science in a fun and engaging way. It is due to reopen in 2021 with brand-new zones and an exciting new addition – the AC45 Vessel. This 45-foot yacht, donated by Artemis Technologies, was one of the fastest yachts on the planet and will be suspended from the ceiling as part of W5’s immersive new experience.
