Museum designers, Mather & Co, worked in partnership with Aivaf on transforming W5 into a highly interactive, modern attraction after a £4.5 million investment.
W5 Discovery & Science Centre includes eight new highly-interactive zones, packed with over 250 hands-on exhibits.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the Marvellous Machine - where they can use the various mechanical interactivity to learn about ancient mechanics such as Archimede’s screw, cogs, springs, and levers.
In the Energise zone you can power the city of Belfast - this fun and high energy zone delves into renewable and non-renewable energy forms and their impact on our lives and environment.
Our design incorporates fun STEAM learning with real tasks and scenarios, enabling visitors to discover a problem, then design and experiment how to overcome it.
This project was made possible through a NI Government grant to support opportunities and engagement with Science in Northern Ireland.
