Belfast Botanic Gardens and the Ulster MuseumThe Belfast Botanic Gardens date back to 1828, but were only
opened to the public in 1895. The Gardens boast the Palm House, a
cast iron and glass house built in 1852, rose gardens, green
walkways and the Tropical Ravine greenhouse, which was built in
1889. The Gardens are popular with office workers, students, locals
and tourists alike, and at the main entrance to the Gardens is the
fascinating Ulster Museum. Founded in 1821, the Ulster Museum is a
treasure trove of fascinating exhibits on a range of subjects
(including Irish and local history), as well as being home to an
excellent art collection. Address: Between Botanic Avenue and Stranmillis Road Website: www.ulstermuseum.org.uk Telephone: During closure Transportation: Citybus 69 Opening Time: Open from 10am to 5pm, from Tuesday to Sunday and on
