Odyssey Complex

The Odyssey Complex is a huge sporting and entertainment centre on the eastern side of the river across from Clarendon Dock. The complex features a hands-on science centre, a 10,000-seater sports arena (home to the Belfast Giants ice-hockey team), a multiplex cinema with an IMAX screen, a video-games centre and a dozen restaurants, cafés and bars. Kids will love W5, an interactive science centre aimed at children of all ages.

The Odyssey Complex is a five-minute walk across the weir from the Lagan Lookout. Metro bus 26 from Donegall Sq West to Holywood stops at the complex (around £1, 5 minutes, hourly Monday to Friday only); the rather inconspicuous bus stop is on Sydenham Rd.
