Belfast with 2.7year old dd - this weekend. help!!!

[unfitmummy]

i've never been to belfast before, we're going for a wedding this weekend. we will arrive late friday and leave sunday afternoon. the wedding is saturday afternoon. therefore i've got saturday morning and sunday morning to fill - any suggestions of places to go/places to eat. i won't have a car and am staying at the premier travel inn which is in town.

google the Odyssey. should give you something to do.

P.S sorry about the short post. ihave tried to reply several times but seem to be having some technical hitches with posting!!

unfitmummy, Belfast is a great place! lovely shops, McDonalds Pizza Hut and some locally owned ones.

It's a great place to walk around and I'm sure you wont be bored.

Have a great weekend!

thanks guys.
nightshade - i found the site for W5 which i think is at the odyssey, the problem is that it doesn't open until 10am on saturday and 12 on sunday! so not good for a morning's entertainment. i think we'll just go for a wander and see belfast, hopefully we'll have nice weather and come across a park for dd to play in and maybe a museum to look around.

Botanic Gardens nice to walk around, and free! Belfast Zoo great for kids but would be a bus or taxi from centre. If it's raining Castlecourt Shopping Centre (Royal Ave) is indoors and has a small children's play area and a food hall upstairs.

If weather is nice on Sat or Sun morning, head to Botanic Gardens for a walk, huge lawn for running around in and at the far end of Botanic (near the Queen's PEC), there is a chilren's playground.

You can take a stroll on Botanic Ave after and check out the cafes for brunch / breakfast etc.

The really good playgrounds for kids tend to be a little out of city centre in the suburbs.

Google NI4kids for some other suggestions.

thanks guys, shall definitely head to the botanics, followed by castlecourt shopping centre for some retail therapy and lunch!
