Giant's Causeway: What you need to know

Giant's Causeway Visitor Experience tickets are now available to book online and we will reopen on Monday, 24 May 2021.

Visitor Experience tickets include reserved on-site parking, guided tours with our award-winning storytelling team, use of hand-held audio guides, access to the Visitor Centre's exibition and interpretation area, the shop, cafe and all facilities.

Visitor Experience tickets must be pre-booked online at the What's On section of our website. Bookings close at 3pm for the following day.

Please have your ticket ready to show a member of staff on arrival in the car park, at a safe distance from your car.

Members can visit and park for free, but members must pre-book online and bring their membership card with them.

In order to help keep everyone safe we will reduce the number of visitors in the areas we can. This means there will be a limit on the number of people in the Visitor Centre at any one time. It also means we will limit the number of cars parking on-site at any one time.

By pre-booking your visit online, you are helping keep everyone safe.

Please follow social distancing and government guidance when you visit. And look out for signs while you’re here which will explain any changes to how you can access different parts of the site. At the moment, we are operating a one-way system through the Visitor Centre and the Easy Access Bus is not in operation.

The Giant's Causeway Visitor Experience is fully dog friendly, with dogs on leads welcome for every step of the Visitor Experience, including within the Visitor Centre and on guided tours. We have dog water bowls at the front and back doors and doggy treats for sale in the cafe.

If you’re showing any of the symptoms of coronavirus, or if you've been in contact with anyone that has the virus in the last 14 days, please don’t visit.

In line with government guidance, you are asked to wear a face covering in the indoor spaces. Please bring one with you. If you forget to bring one, we can provide a disposable mask, just ask a member of the team.Face coverings are not required for children under 11 years of age or for those whho are medically exempt.

Causeway Coast Way Car Park

As we are able to accomodate all those booked for the Visitor Experience in our main car park adjacent to the Visitor Centre, we have reopened the car park on the Causeway Road with a PayByPhone system. The Causeway Coast Way Car Park is available for walkers and parking there is £5. The location code for the car park is: 805951. Please be aware spaces are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. 

You can walk to the stones for free by foot via the Public Right of Way. This does not include on site car parking so we ask that all visitors respect local residents and other road users by parking responsibly.

We look forward to welcoming all visitors back to this very special place.

For visitors booking Visitor Experience tickets, you will be asked to book a 30 minute time slot for your arrival, please note that this is for your arrival time only, you are welcome to stay as long as you like.
