Adventure for all the family
Family holidays that pack in the fun – right here in Northern Ireland.
Your family's next giant adventure is just a small step away, so get ready to make some wonderful memories in Northern Ireland with fun-packed days, cosy evenings and snuggled-up nights. From awe-inspiring scenery to world-class attractions and experiences, it’s all on our doorstep– and it’s all wrapped up in that giant spirit we’re famous for.
The great outdoors is truly great in Northern Ireland. . Enjoy a ramble on the sprawling grounds of Hillsborough Castle & Gardens, which gets more breath-taking with every passing day through Autumn & Winter, or head to the coast to experience the awe-inspiring sea-spray that dashes against the Giant’s Causeway.
The exhilaration isn’t all physical, though. Northern Ireland is alive with history and the natural world too. Try star-gazing at OM Dark Sky Park and Observatory, deer spotting at Gosford Forest Park or travel through underground caves and see the stalactites and stalagmites at Marble Arch Caves. Nature is on display here in a way that’s sure to inspire.
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.
