Family Activities and Attractions

Family holidays that pack in the fun – right here in Northern Ireland. 

Take a small step and get ready to make some wonderful memories on fun-filled days and action-packed adventures. From awe-inspiring scenery to world-class attractions and experiences, it’s all on your doorstep, and it’s wrapped up in that giant spirit we’re famous for.

Enjoy a ramble on the sprawling grounds of Hillsborough Castle and Gardens, which gets more breath-taking especially during these brighter days or head to the coast to experience the awe-inspiring sea-spray that dashes against the Giant’s Causeway.

Interested in history and the natural world? Try star-gazing at OM Dark Sky Park and Observatory, deer spotting at Gosford Forest Park or travel through underground caves to uncover stalactites and stalagmites at Marble Arch Caves. 

Meanwhile our many museums and monuments tell the story of Northern Ireland’s extraordinary history with a unique flair, entrancing visitors young and old. Follow the emigrants’ trail at the Ulster American Folk Park. Experience the place where the Titanic was built and launched. Step back in time to 2000 years ago with a visit to an Iron Age dwelling at the Navan Centre and Fort. Or take a walk around the 17th century walls of Derry~Londonderry, one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe. Then come right back to the present at one of our many world-class shops or restaurants.
