Fantastic Robot Exhibition Opens For Summer 2015 at Titanic Belfast

/

Today sees the comprehensive collection of robot stars from tv and movies open to the public at Titanic Belfast. We went along last night for a sneak peek to meet our favourites. Mine is the Terminator, my son's is R2D2. With family favourites like Iron Man & other Star Wars droids on show, it's the perfect daytrip stop off. If you've no kids, don't be put off! My friend texted me last night when she saw my photos on Instagram and I reassured her, if RoboCop is there, it's for grown ups too!

I'm of course tempted to share all my photos of the 50+ robots on display, but that would spoil your own visit, so I'll show you my favourites.

This guy! If you've a bit of a fear of robots like me, this robot from RoboCop gives you the fear just seeing the model of him. Slightly worried he'd shoot my knees off. Son of course just thought it was a cute little robot friend.

Many retro robots on display. It's hard to tell but this one is 6ft tall!

There is a section where kids can build their own robots from blocks, and parents can reminisce about old toy robots from the 80s that we lusted after to carry our cans of Coke around.

I didn't recognise this terrifying baby robot, but I loved it.

Again this post is only a fraction of the number of robots on display, but I really don't want to spoil your own experience by showing you who all is there.

The Titanic shop has a little robot section set up to accompany the display, and I was delighted by the retro toy packaging

If you fancy stopping for food after your visit, Bistro 401 is right on site and the food is delicious!

I had to show you these edible nuts and bolts. They were made of chocolate and I couldn't believe you could actually eat them until I'd bitten into one!

Robots runs from today, 26th June, to 13th September. It costs £6 for adults, £3 for children, or £16 for a family ticket. It's well worth making it part of your summer 2015.
