    The Giant’s Causeway Visitor Centre is the gateway to Northern Ireland’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    It has a grass-roofed design to blend into the landscape. Inside you'll find exhibitions on the geology, myths, and history of the Causeway. Toilet facilities, a café and gift shop provide a good base to start from, before stepping out to explore the stones themselves.

    The Nationals Trust Visitor Centre, which sits on the hillside above the Causeway and serves as a gateway to the World Heritage Site, was designed by Dublin-based Heneghan Peng Architects. The building was opened in July 2012 by First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and replaces the temporary structures and previous visitor center built in 1986, the same year the Causeway was officially recognized as a World Heritage Site, but unfortunately Burnt down in 2002.

    In addition to information, the visitor center also houses a relief on the Giant's Causeway and a multimedia show, and of course there is also a shop to buy various souvenirs.
