The Odyssey Complex is built on the site of the coal quay close to the 1840's People's Pleasure Park and the theme of entertainment and leisure is a central tenet of its being.

The Odyssey represents a total initial investment of £91 million. Laganside contributed £9 million towards site infrastructure, one of the largest stand-alone investments made by the Corporation.

The complex boasts a range of bars, clubs and restaurants as well as a 12 screen cinema, Sheridan IMAX cinema and the landmark 10,000 seat indoor arena. The arena is home to Belfast's very own ice hockey team, the Belfast Giants, and is also a major concert venue for worldwide acts. The W5 Interactive Discovery Centre with over 100 exhibits and displays, is a popular destination for families and school trips.

The Odyssey Complex has had an extremely positive impact on the community and on the economy. In addition to the jobs created directly within the complex, there have also been wider spin-off benefits for the tourism industry.

There have been social benefits too since the Odyssey is seen as a neutral venue and a sense of ownership of the complex is enjoyed by the whole community.
