How Long You Needed To Do This Tour

Time to spend is purely up to your own personal choice.

You can explore the Titanic Belfast Museum for 1-2 hours or 2-3 hours depends on how fast or slow your pace in absorbing the information inside the museum.

There is one area inside the museum where you need to take a  ride, so this will be depending on how long you will wait at the queue. If I can recall it took us about 15 minutes waiting and the ride is about the 10-15 minutes long.
