Re: Disappointed BY Offensive Comment At Pantomime

Advantages: Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings
Disadvantages: Seats a bit low

I'm writing in response to a previous post "Disappointed By Offensive Comments At Pantomime". This is one of the most ridiculous reviews I've ever read. I went to Cinderella the previous week with my mum and boyfriend and we all had a great night. May McFetteridge was excellent, he/she really made the show. The joke she made about the Waterfront was clearly that - a joke! The night we went everyone found it hilarious. I am 100% confident everyone ...

Review of Grand Opera House (Belfast)

The Belfast Zoo

Advantages: Lots for people to see and do
Disadvantages: Quite hilly and wear something warm if not sunny as it is open to the elements

The Belfast Zoo is set in the beautiful Cave hill area,from the top of the zoo there is such a view over the lough and Belfast.When you arrive at the zoo there is quite a steep approach and inside the zoo is quite hilly too which is not great for people with walking difficulties.There is an electric train which travels all the way round the zoo so you dont have to miss out. Prices our reasonable and disabled people go free. The first things you encounter ...
...the left hand side there kids can see a number of animals,donkeys,cows,goats,pigs and piglets snakes,bats,also in this area there are lemurs which run free it is wonderful for kids and adults alike.

The further ...

Review of Belfast Zoo (Belfast)

~~Reaching its 10 years of entertainment~~

Advantages: Convenient, safe, clean, and accessible to any kind of transport
Disadvantages: Not much of events and programmes that I like most to watch

THE WATERFRONT HALL is one of the architectural icons along Lagan River in Belfast, just besides Hilton Hotel and few meters away from the central train station and St Georges Market (3rd best food market in the UK). It is an entertainment and cultural venue for the past ten years, and it has been visited by prominent people from around the world, including Prince Charles who inaugurated the building in January 1997. One of the magazines published ...
...station. The surrounding areas of Waterfront are popular for people who want to enjoy the quietness of the River Lagan, away from the busy city centre. The modern architectural design of the whole structure/facade is made of clear thick glass, and steel frames which provide an excellent lighting effect in the exteriors of the Hall. Standing outside near the Lagan River, people who are having good drinks in the restaurants could be seen, and vice-versa ...

Review of The Strand Cinema (Belfast)

The King of Castles

Advantages: One of the most impressive historical buildings I have ever seen
Disadvantages: The fact that its not more widely known

Carrickfergus Castle I grew up in the shadows of this impressive monument and it amazes me that it is not more widely known outside of the UK. The castle is the best preserved monument in the whole of Ireland and is stunning to look at from all angles. Location The castle is located in the town of Carrickfergus which is situated on the shores of Belfast Lough about 10 miles from Belfast. The castle can easily be reached from Belfast by car (pretty ...
...and thus the town of Carrickfergus was born. (Carric (might be spelt wrong) in Irish means rock) thus Carrickfergus is the Rock of Fergus. My opinion As a school boy living in the town I was mesmerised by the interesting and often bloody history that our town had gone through and in a way I was very lucky that the stories of my ancestors is so well documented. The castle which was garrisoned for almost 800 years is now a national trust property and ...
