Belfast City Hall is widely praised as an essential and accessible introduction to the city's history. Reviewers frequently highlight the 'Belfast Exhibition' for its interactive touchscreen displays, which make the historical narrative engaging for younger visitors. The building's architecture is a major draw, with many guests admiring the grand interior and the intricate stained glass windows commemorating significant events. While the grounds are free to roam and highly recommended for their beauty, some parts of the exhibition may carry a small fee.

The on-site cafe is also mentioned as a convenient stop located conveniently within the exhibition route.
