Average visit time: Around 2.5 to 3 hours
If you enjoyed Game of Thrones, this is one of the best experiences you can do anywhere. It’s not just a few props in a room – it’s a full behind-the-scenes look at how the series was made, using real sets, costumes and original filming locations inside the studio.
You walk through actual sets used in the show, including areas like Winterfell and King’s Landing, and you get to see just how detailed everything is up close. The costumes alone are worth the visit – when you see them in person, you realise how much work went into every character.
What makes this really enjoyable is that it’s not just about looking at things. There are interactive displays explaining how scenes were filmed, how special effects were created, and how the huge battle scenes were put together. Even if you’re not a massive fan, it’s still interesting just from a film and TV production point of view.
It’s all indoors, which makes it a great option if the weather turns. The layout is easy to follow, and you can take your time moving through each section without feeling rushed.
There’s a café on site and a large shop at the end if you want to pick up souvenirs. Food is convenient but can be a bit pricey, so some people prefer to eat before or after their visit.
Good to know: Some parts may feel slow for younger children, so it’s better suited to older kids and adults who can appreciate the detail. Booking ahead is usually a good idea, especially at busy times.
Nearby ideas: You’re not far from Lisburn and within reach of Belfast, so this can easily be part of a wider day out including the Titanic Belfast or a wander around the city.
