Belfast Giants Ice Hockey at The SSE Arena
A great rainy-day theatre in County Antrim
The Belfast Giants are Northern Ireland's premier ice hockey team, playing at The SSE Arena on the banks of the River Lagan. A family outing to a Giants game offers an exciting, fast-paced sporting experience in a lively, family-friendly atmosphere.
Highlights for families:
Electrifying live action with music, lights, and mascot 'Ginger' the Giant
Special 'Family Fun Days' with discounted tickets and pre-game activities
Accessible seating and wheelchair spaces available
Concessions serving kid-friendly snacks and drinks
Practical tips: Arrive at least 30 minutes early to soak up the pre-game buzz. Ear defenders are recommended for young children as the arena can be loud. Games last about 2.5 hours with an intermission. The arena is easily reached by car (paid parking) or public transport (short walk from Titanic Quarter station).
