Before arriving in Belfast, there was a museum I wanted to go to that I knew Isandro would love, called Ulster Transport Museum. Lots of old trains and other types of transportation. It was an amazing museum and both Lina and Isandro (and Manuel!) loved it.
After the Transport Museum, went to lunch at a cafe near the next spot we were taking the kids to. It was a cafe called The Honesty Box, where everything is free, and you donate whatever amount of money you'd like in a box when you leave. Coffee, tea, drinks, baked goods, soup, etc. There was even a little area with kids toys, comfy couches, tables, and chairs. Run by volunteers from a church. It also had a "prayer garden" where people write their prayers on sticky notes and put them on the wall or clip them to a tree, and when their prayer team gets together, they put a dot sticker on the sticky notes that they prayed for. Lina wrote a prayer on a star paper and attached it to the tree.

After lunch we took the kids to W5, a children's museum in Belfast. Manuel called it a children's museum on steroids. Four levels of fun stuff for kids. They absolutely loved it! Giant play train set, doll houses, play store, and more! My only complaint is that it had no air conditioning! We went on a bright, sunny day and it was about 80 degrees. When you're on the fourth level wearing a baby in a sling, it is HOT! I loved the place and thought it was great for the kids, but it was hard for me to enjoy because of the lack of air conditioning! Unfortunately, I probably would never go back in the summer time just for that reason.
Train lover boy's dream!

Coolest dollhouse ever!
