Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Belfast Zoo, located in Northern Ireland, is a renowned visitor attraction with over 300,000 annual visitors. It houses more than 1,000 animals and 140 species, many of which are endangered. The zoo features popular attractions such as Asian elephants, giraffes, sea lions, penguins, apes, tapirs and tigers. Additionally, it offers a walk-through rainforest exhibit showcasing rare tropical plants and animals like sloths and fruit bats.
Put on your comfy or hiking shoes.. The guide map helps a lot and it allows you see the animals available. Beautiful for a family trip with good picnic spots. Grab a stroller from home if you have a toddler or kids below age 5.
Augustine E — Google review
The views are stunning, alot of the animals are not visible or out when we were there, it's all uphill so with kids in buggies it's a nightmare, the cafe is up the very top. Exhausting on a warm day. There's no sign posts, you'd very easily get lost with no directions as the map doesn't help an awful lot.
Christina R — Google review
The zoo was enjoyable. Saw lots of cute animals like meerkats and penguins. Only two downsides is that I didn't see some of the animals like the bear and the wolf and it gets tiring walking up the steep hills. My legs were very sore afterwards.
Dark R — Google review
Visited the zoo on a cool November midweek visit. The last time I had visited was over 6yrs ago. Cafe closed, hot food vender on site, however no option to get a tea or coffee. Well the zoo has not changed much, if anything it is showing signs of it needing a refresh. Granted there is a new lion enclosure and seating, but in its day you could see polar bears - this enclosure is now home to a bear. Maybe generous with the 4, but having availed of discount through a third party, did not pay the full price
RussE — Google review
Loved how quiet it was as I visited on a wet bank holiday. I only saw a few other families. All the staff were lovely and food was tasty when I bought a toasties from the tree top tea rooms. I loved seeing the gorrillas and Scottish wild cats! The zoo is very hilly. It was a decent day out.
Jessica K — Google review
Nice enough zoo, though not many predators and the bear didn’t make an appearance. Get ready for some hill walking - the only open cafe was at the very top of the park so no choice if you didn’t bring your own drinks. Never saw a meerkat eat a whole rat before but it was impressive.
Chris B — Google review
Didn’t think it was the most well kept zoo comparing to other zoos I’ve seen before. The cafe area was not working at all and the vending machines were impossible to get a hot drink also. In a cold day would be great to be able to grab a hot drink while visiting. Unfortunately most animals didn’t come out so we didn’t get to see them.
R B — Google review
Lots of animals to see, some of the glass is a bit grubby from the inside so it's hard to take photos. Spoke to a few of the keepers, very sociable! It's a big walk with steep hills but the views of Belfast (and the chimps!) is worth it! A lot of the place hasn't been fixed up or renewed sadly, very sad to see the Floral Hall is still a derelict ruin.

Embark on a captivating journey through the rich history of Newtownabbey at Sentry Hill Historic House & Visitor Centre. This charming 19th-century farmhouse offers an intimate look into the lives of the McKinney family, who called it home for over a hundred years after their move from Scotland to Ireland. As you wander through its beautifully preserved rooms, you'll encounter an impressive collection of artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia that tell stories of their connections to the linen industry and local community life.
Visited the history house today for the guided tour which costs £4.50 with tea and biscuits included. Well worth the money. Our tour guide Lauren was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable and obviously a history enthusiast. She was so engaging, made the tour very interesting and explained the history of Sentry Hill beautifully. Well worth a visit if you are a visitor or live locally.

Lovely historic farm house, possibly one of my favourites. Not your average manor house you'll find dotted everywhere across the British isles, a much more familiar and "lived in" place where one can truly take a plunge into the old way of farm life... Staff was excellent too!

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of May. (2 Adults and a 6yr old). Lovely compact campsite on the shores of the Lough with a fantastic play park and green area for children just outside the gate. Facilities were spotless. Lovely cafe next to the premises. Bus stop right outside the gate. Great spot for exploring Belfast, Jordanstown, Carrickfergus and the surrounding area. We will be back

The park sits right on the lough, offering great views across to Holywood. You can get teas, coffees, snacks and ice-cream at the café and there are toilet facilities. There is a large open green area on either side of the car park which is great for family outings and picnics. There is also outdoor gym equipment if you're feeling energetic! The area on the right of the car park has a well equipped playground for kids of all ages. Lovely place to relax and watch the world go by. You might even be fortunate enough to catch a brass band playing in the bandstand.

W5 is an interactive science center located in the Odyssey Complex on Queens Quay. It offers over 250 hands-on stations across four exhibition zones, catering to children's curiosity and active engagement. The center features climbing attractions like Climbit and a multi-sensory Spacebase activity zone, as well as exhibits covering topics such as flight, electric circuits, natural forces, health, hygiene, and geology.
I have visited many different science centres across Europe, and so far, this one in Belfast is the best for a whole day out with your kids. The ticket is valid for the whole day, so you can come back as many times as you want during your day. Lockers where you can leave your jackets and bags is very handy. A small, soft place for kids is handy as well. We really enjoyed the drop-in sessions, staff very friendly and helpful, my child had a wonderful time. Big kiss to the Snail Franklin, beautiful creature.
Krzysztof Z — Google review
Fantastic experience with young kids. So many levels, so educational, could spend days here and not see or cover everything. Very reasonably priced, a play area and a climbing area for kids. Plenty of places to get food and snacks, a great gift shop and very friendly staff all around. Each level has its own attractions and will keep kids of all ages busy, could not recommend it more. The only downside is they could do with more lifts as they are very busy, and the fact that you have to book online is a little frustrating.
Vlad O — Google review
I can't believe how amazing this place is and how great it is value for money wise. We spent around 4 hours in here today and it is definitely the best science centre we have been to so far. So much to do and loads of fun things for kids of all ages and adults to do. I especially like how your ticket lasts all day and you can leave and come back. My favourite thing about this place though, was that they have accessible bathrooms which have changing stations for adults with disabilities to get changed on. This is the first time I have seen this and it's a fabulous idea, as a carer I have had to change adults on bathroom floors which isn't hygienic nor dignifying. We absolutely will be back here for a day out again and have recommended it to friends and family, coming to visit.

took our ten year old son to see the dinosaur exhibit, excellent!! the other floors where filled with exciting interactive things that even amused myself and the wife, but a huge shout out must go to the staff off the giftshop they went the extra mile to round off our sons trip to perfection, a credit to the W5 complex
Whitetroutchannel — Google review
We spent around 5 hours at W5 Discovery Centre with our 5-year-old and 1.5-year-old, and it was an amazing experience. The interactive exhibits kept the kids engaged, and even we, as parents, had a great time exploring the different sections. The science shows were fun and educational, making learning exciting for the little ones. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to explain and assist. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: - Book tickets in advance to avoid any hassle at the entrance. - Parking at the Odyssey Arena is very expensive, so be prepared for that extra cost. - Although W5 has five floors, two of them have no real attractions, just a viewing gallery or conference rooms, which feels like a bit of wasted space. - Toilets could use an upgrade – the doors open inward, so after washing your hands, you still have to touch the handle, which isn't very hygienic. The sink faucets are quite outdated, with no touchless features, which is a bit disappointing for a modern science centre. - The available Quiet Rooms are not really that quiet. They are not properly soundproofed, so while they are slightly calmer than the main areas, they are still quite noisy, with a lot of sound passing through. - To fully explore everything at a relaxed pace, more than one visit is needed. There’s so much to see and do that one trip simply isn’t enough, especially with young children who aren’t patient enough to go through every exhibit carefully. Two to three visits would be ideal to truly experience everything without rushing. Overall, despite these minor drawbacks, W5 is an excellent place for a family day out. The variety of activities, hands-on experiments, and climbing structures make it a fantastic experience for kids and adults alike. Highly recommend visiting, just plan ahead.

Irish restaurant
Located in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, Sleepy Hollow is a charming restaurant offering modern Irish cuisine sourced from artisan suppliers. The chic space features vaulted ceilings and outdoor tables for a delightful dining experience. Guests can expect professional and friendly service with attention to detail. The restaurant provides a warm and cozy environment away from the hustle of Belfast city center. While some guests noted longer wait times for food, the delicious offerings and welcoming atmosphere make it a great choice for those seeking quality dining outside the city.
Outstanding food. Recommended this restaurant by a friend who attends often. Prices are a little higher compared to some other restaurants but happy to pay as is reflected in the quality. Gentleman taking our orders was lovely and good craic. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would have steak out occasionally but usually prefer it at home but have to say this is one of the nicest I have had. The juices from the meat were delicious & it is probably the first time in a restaurant that I havn't wanted or needed sauce. One of our table had the chicken dish which was also outstanding. The chips are a lovely change to the usual and the tenderstem brocolli was delicious. Everything is made from scratch by talented chefs and it really shows in their food and presentation. Their cocktails were nice and was told that their own beer was nice too. Would definitely return 🥂

Attended last night for the Our Brewery x Sleepy Hollow Tasting Menu event and it was absolutely incredible. The food was gorgeous, service was brilliant and the staff were so lovely and knowledgeable about the food and drinks! The food was served on ceramics that had been hand-crafted by the chef which was a really nice and unique touch and the quality of everything was top notch. Can’t wait to come back!

Visiting from Manchester while working away, I had the pleasure of dining at the Sleepy Hollow – and what a gem it is! I started with the soup of the day, which had a lovely texture and just the right balance – not overpowering with celery as can sometimes be the case. For my main, I went with the special rib eye steak, cooked medium rare to perfection. It was tender, juicy, and beautifully complemented by the rich béarnaise sauce. Drinks-wise, I enjoyed a smooth latte with what I’d guess was a medium roast bean – full of flavour and a great finish. I also tried the Belfast Brew tea, which was delicious and had a really pleasant, distinct taste. The staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. High five to this establishment – I’ll definitely return if I’m in the area again!

Had my daughters 10th birthday in the inflatable-park in Belfast couldn't recommend enough they had an absolute ball, service was great and was lovely to have a designated area to watch, unlimited drinks was a plus and the amount of food was amazing was also very tasty pizza chicken dippers and chips was a hit. Portion size was plentiful and the staff kept checking in on us which I thought was brilliant compared to other places your put in a room and forgot about. Great value for money will definitely be back. Great customer service all round brilliant experience

We booked for 4 kids to go to the inflata bounce for 1pm. Our friends were running slightly late so I was told that I would have to switch to a later session because of the safety video- we had to change coloured bands on my kids. The staff were rude and verbally forceful. Our friends arrived 2 mins later and we're shown straight into the 1pm safety video that hadn't started yet. Even though, I was told we would have to change session. We then had to get my 2 kids bands changed colour again. The staff didn't seem to know what they were doing, nor did they communicate with each other. It was very stressful for us parents and the kids didn't know what was happening or where they were supposed to go. The set up is awful. There isn't enough room. There needs to be a designated waiting area. Staff need to communicate more. Staff need to be retrained in how to speak to customers. For having so many staff on, it was very disorganised. The toilets were very unclean and clearly not checked on regularly. Once the kids were actually bouncing, they had a great time which is why I allocated 3 stars

Booked 2 games of laser tag here for 10 children and 4 adults and we had an absolutely brilliant time. Everyone said how much fun it was. The only gripe I had was that multiple times during both games some of the vests ran out of battery and then we had to go and ask the attendees to replace the vest which took a good 5 minutes out of a mere 20 minutes of actual game time.

Was good for 45 mins but not as big as it's rivals. Kids bored a bit after 45 mins. Really Noisy, incredibly loud , I love a rave back in day but this was bedlam. Arcades ok too on way out. Big issue trying to get out carpark, needs access rethinking as impossible to turn right onto main road, had do detour.

Booked a kids party which the kids really enjoyed, the only aspect that was lacking was the safety video process, it was really busy and a few different parents stood outside the barrier, which in theory was only an extra 6 inches away, we had watched the video, but then said your gonna have to watch it again, because you weren't inside the box they have made. The box is not fit for purpose as it's way too small, as this proceeded another girl came down and told the girl of taking the video in front of customers (time and a Place) saying you should of made sure they where all in, all very unprofessional, aside from this, the kids had a great time.

The children all enjoyed the Laser Tag party. The food was very nice also. I just felt it was very rushed in the end with being told on two occasions that they needed us out so they could prepare for the next party. Possibly 45mins would be better for eating and having cake as young children cam take a while to eat no matter how much you try and rush them.

Took my children to the first session, 11am. The safety video was late in being started as they couldnt get it to work, staff said they would get 10mins extra at the end however they were still called off at 12pm. I said to member of staff who replied, well send them back on then, with what can only be described as an attitude. When they were finished, I took them to the toilet only to find there was no toilet roll or soap. Given this was the first session and the toilet roll had the capacity to hold 3 rolls, this really wasn't great.

This is the best walk in Belfast, in my humble opinion. The parking is convenient, if a little small, but the walk is easy or challenging depending on your mood, there is the most beautiful view of the city from a Norman Fort from the 10th century. And there is a farm settlement from the 4th century. And a small waterfall. And if you can find them, there are some amazing caves.

It was pretty much fun climbing up the hill, stressful but it was an exercise to stretch the body and the legs. It was an adventure I will love doing again, the view up the cliff was amazing and everyone was helpful to each other if you lost the way climbing up or climbing down the hill.

Had a lovely walk round the Castle with the family . It was a bonus saying it was a nice day. So we got to take in the views and sit out and enjoy food in the sun. The man serving at the coffee shop was very friendly and carried out Ms coffee for her. Spoke to the kids and made the experience nice. We had fun looking for all the 9 cats in the garden and got some nice photos. Definitely worth a little look round if near by .

I wish I could post pictures of the inside, but it was not open today on my visit. Also, its not much of a castle as most would think of them, its really just a large house on a hill. We were both pretty disappointed in it and didnt spend much time here. The gardens are beautiful, though.

Ordered chicken & ribs combo.. half rack of BBQ ribs set on top of skinny fries. 2 large chicken gougons with onion rings and coleslaw. Was looking forward to this but very disappointed with what I received, the Ribs were the only thing I enjoyed but still had to ask for extra portion of the sauce as there was very little. The onion rings were overcooked, the batter was extremely hard. The same can be said for the chicken gougons. The batter was extremely thick and hard it was difficult to cut . The chicken was tough and all you could taste was the oil they were cooked in. I had one bite of the 1st one and left it , tried the second and it was even worse. It was As if they had been reheated in the fryer again.As for the coleslaw you could tell it had been sitting out for a while as it had turned yellow. We would normally have desert but given the standard of my main course that someone in your kitchen deemed acceptable, we politely declined. I was asked if everything was okay but rather than cause embarrassment to your waiting staff who did notice by the amount of food left on my plate something wasn't right, I requested the bill and paid and left without a fuss. I didn't believe it would be right to complain during a busy period on a Saturday evening and cause unnecessary embarrassment to your waiting staff who are very accommodating. However the food was poor and on that basis I cannot recommend a visit.

Server who sat us not very friendly. The food was disappointing when it first came out it looked lovely however it was tasteless. My friend and I got the honey garlic chicken there was no where near enough sauce it just tasted like chicken goujons on a bed of vegetables. We got 1/2 and 1/2 chips and rice which is a surcharge of £1.50 which I think is ridiculous for the amount of chips you get (maybe 12 max). The cocktails were okay but tasted premade. Overall it seemed to have potential but just fell short and the prices are ridiculous £20 for chicken goujons and chips.

Beautiful scenery both from below (especially at morning during sunrise) and from above. Don't reccomend using google maps if you go from east side, as there is a land of bushes you will have to go through, climb fences and get through couple of dead ends, especially if you are climbing up. First time I've even skipped the pathway up, google were showing me to climb over the concrete wall and go up the path that were visibly rarely used, then climb the spiked fence to the field of cows and afterwards go through dead-end of trees and bushes I got through somehow only to later ram my way through narrow path full of bushes taller than human. Some of theese bushes has thorns and the path is slippery and narrow even most avid hikers and mountaineers, so be ready if you will get there by google accident. I reccomend you go through the right side of the zoo, that google just won't direct you through if you go throughout the east side. But overall, I went up, and left satisfied as a mountaineer and photographer. And keep in mind that right below the cliff from the east side there are a small cave that can be easily missed if you choose the same questionable path I've mentioned at the start. Northern Ireland may be small in size, but people here are nice and friendly and the land itself are full of rare gems you can see only in few places in the world, for example, Giant's Causeway I highly recommend everyone who reads that to visit, and see this rare wonder just about an hour north from the Cavehill by car. (Adding few fast unedited photos from the phone, pro photos will come up later separately).

A nice place to spend your day. If you have time you have many things to see. You can see a beautiful scenery of whole Belfast city from the peak of the mountain. Very cold and sometimes wind is high. You can get to the peak withing 30 to 45 minutes. There is path to go down from the peak to the lower valley. You can take the bus from the Belfast city and its about 5miles away from the city. If you are going on your own vehicle there are different entrances. This is a place you should definitely visit if you are coming to Belfast.

The cave hill is the only and nearest option for hiking in Belfast. The hike starts from Belfast castle which also is a great place to visit. You can past your cars or bikes here before starting the hike. It passes through dense patch at the beginning and then the hike starts. Meanwhile, you start getting the view of the sea on the right side. There is a cave mid way divides the hike into two ways leading I to the top moist patch called Napoleon's Nose. The left side route directly takes you to the top making it a bit of steep climbing. The other way around is a circular path making a hike a bit simpler but you get nice views along. After reaching the top you can get a complete view of Belfast. During descending, you can either come along same route or there is other way around exactly opposite to the main round. Descending from other way around goes to the upper cave hill road. Either way descending leads to the Belfast castle taking different time.

Nestled just off Newtownards Road in East Belfast, CS Lewis Square is a delightful plaza that brings the enchanting world of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' to life. This charming space features seven stunning bronze sculptures depicting beloved characters like Aslan and Mr. Tumnus, making it a dream destination for photographers and fans alike.
I must admit I was expecting a bit more, but I still had an enjoyable time wandering around finding the sculptures. It is not a large area, so it does not take long. There are seats around the square. It is close to shops and eateries. It is free to enter. The square is accessible to people who use a wheelchair.

We live locally and have been here from time to time. Positives - I like the open space. Level and great for kids to scooter, bike and roller blade while grownups relax with a coffee and chat. The statues dotted around are fun to find and explore. Negatives - it was really dirty and had rubbish everywhere: in the grass bits behind the benches, all over the paved bits (even found a big shard of glass), and along the paths. It did not make me want to bring my kids and dog to the area! Not to mention it smelled like 💩 which must be a local sewage issue. I will give it another try some time soon with the hope that the council will up their game in making it a tidier place and I’d gladly change my review.

What a great little park! It was clean, well maintained, and felt very safe. As a lover of the LW&W book series I was thrilled to see spark dedicated to it and CS Lewis. It took us a few minutes to find CS and the wardrobe, since it is set apart from the other statues. For those interested, it is in front of the cute little library there. The rest of them are more in the park proper. There is also a Nero Cafe right there as well, which is great!

Ballyrobert Gardens, situated just outside Ballyclare, is a top destination for garden enthusiasts on the island of Ireland. Spanning six acres with an additional 10 acres of wilding, the garden embodies a design philosophy that integrates built and natural heritage. Managed by Maurice and Joy Parkinson, this family-run establishment offers an impressive collection of over 4,000 plant varieties available for purchase.
We have visited here twice (once last summer and then again this summer) with the purpose of seeing the gardens and enjoying a little walk with our two small children. The welcome we had from staff on both occasions was warm and genuine, the entrance price to visit the gardens was £8 per adult. We spent a couple of hours there, you could definitely stay longer and have a more leisurely pace around the gardens and there's definitely more to see but our time was curtailed by the smaller family members and their patience. There are beautiful blooms to see, some nice grassed areas and a few picnic benches dotted around - we took advantage of the picnic benches as we came prepared with sandwiches to keep the kids happy a little bit longer. There is a small self service tearoom which is perfect for a tea or coffee and there were also a few sweets treats available there. Seeing it at this time of year in full bloom it really is quite lovely (and I'm sure a lot of time and effort goes in to keeping it that way), lots of colour and variety giving us a few ideas of what we might like to add to our own garden.

The best service I've ever had with an online plant order. I ordered these late Sun night and they arrived from Ireland to Scotland by the Thu morning. I can't get a plant delivery from mainland UK that quick, and it costs me more. My plants are all healthy, and they were very well packaged. I even got a care guide and a wee surprise included. I highly recommend and will definitely buy from them again.

I've just received my order of London Pride plants and they are beautiful. Healthy, sturdy and well packaged with information on how to treat them. These plants mean so much to me as my Grandma used to grow them and I've wanted some for years for my own garden. Thankyou for bringing back the happiest of memories.

Funworks in Newtownabbey is a popular indoor soft play area for kids and young children. It's a great spot for families, with a cafe where parents can relax while the kids have fun. The venue is well-maintained and offers private party rooms upstairs. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make birthday parties special. They also host seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas at no extra charge, creating a great atmosphere for kids.
My son is almost 6 and this is one of the only soft play places that he doesn’t get bored of as he’s literally grown out of most of them. Last week him and another kid accidentally bumped into each other and he bust his wee lip. Despite being extremely busy the staff noticed right away and were very kind, immediately getting him an ice pack, an ice pop and a voucher for a free visit next time. Well done on the friendly service and welcoming playplace you’ve made for local children. ☺️☺️☺️

Brilliant place for bigger kids, however I brought my 1 year old and the issue that I had was the cleanliness of the under 3 area.. I understand things get dirty especially with small kids but the dust bunnies were on another level. I think this area is neglected by cleaning staff.. I would give 5 stars all day long if it was a bit cleaner.. staff seem very friendly and reasonably priced.

This soft play offers good value for money, with a wide range of activities and a clean, safe environment. However, it's worth considering visiting during off-peak hours to avoid the crowds and make the most of your visit.

We where in belfast for our child's 5th birthday she wanted to go bowling when we arrived we walked into the wrong building we where told the bowling was closed down so we payed into the soft play instead our kids had great fun a few problems there was something wet either wee or juice second problem was our child picked up a metal zip in the baby area tie almost cutting her self. And last problem all the zip ties have the hard plastic bit facing into the soft play my baby fell into me knocking me back resulting in me having a cut and burise on my head. When we left we seen the "closed down" bowling open so we where also lied to

We booked the hen party gin tasting experience for a group of girls in June. Unfortunately, the address on the website and Google are different, so we ended up in the wrong place. We eventually made our way to the correct location (after spending £90 on taxis that we didn’t need to). The experience itself was good. We made a bottle of gin for the bride and all signed the label, but unfortunately we never received this bottle. It was meant to be sent to the bride but she or I never received it. We did receive a few bottles as a goodwill gesture for the address mix up, which was nice of the owner.

The White House is a notable destination that visitors should consider stopping at while en route to the nearby beach and park. This museum, which opened its doors in 2012, offers free admission and comes highly recommended as part of a weekend outing in Belfast. It boasts an impressive conferencing suite suitable for groups ranging from 10 to 14 individuals. While it possesses great historical significance, some reviewers have deducted points due to limited amenities such as single restroom availability and restricted parking options.
This is where William III and Schomberg plotted to sort out James over 300 years ago. Great historical interest for all school children visitors to the area tourists from all around the world call. It's open during the week Mon Tues wed 10:00 2:30 pm free entry, excellent guide with great historical knowledge. and you can book it for groups also has a great space for groups business etc meetings and food can be arranged with staff. Good parking across from the House and disabled parking at front also good lift and disabled toilet.

I entered this wood on a Sunday afternoon from the Monkstown area but found it to be creepy, empty of people, unloved and very uninviting. I didn't find any of the nice areas pictured but maybe I didn't walk far enough through. Not the kind of place for families or females on their own. Suitable for dog walks if you're happy enough to walk through the wood.

As you putt your way through this immersive experience, you'll encounter interactive obstacles such as moving walls and crumbling relics, all set against a backdrop of simulated thunder and lightning storms that heighten the excitement.
It's adjacent to funky monkey on the first floor, a nice concept. You can come and play golf here. There are different stages, you can go from one stage to another and explore your golf skills. You can eat/drink as well inside this area. The atmosphere inside is great, the vibe is good.

Two courses of up to 18 holes each. Took the 36 hole course. Was good fun and the kids enjoyed it. Came on a day that wasn’t so busy so took our time and had a great couple of hours. The courses are clean, fun and quirky. Some little caddies/trolleys available for your stuff. It’s in a small shopping centre in a retail park. There’s a throwing axe course in the same centre I have my eyes on. There’s place serves drinks and some bar food too but didn’t have time in the day to sample. Worth a visit if you’re in Belfast with kids (or with friends).

Played here on our visit you Belfast, it was ok, we played the hardest course out of the 2, it was still very easy with a couple of hardish holes, visually is very nice, but far too easy, also no alcohol is allowed whilst playing and the toilets if you need are outside the venue which feels a bit odd, decent space filler if you have some time but if you looking for adventure maybe try a different mini golf venue.
Jason R — Google review
Visited with my husband & family as a treat after a long car journey in the rain, so we were looking forward to a fun session, but were all left disappointed. The room was OK, if rather dated, but still we entered looking forward to the course. The special effects entertained our 7 year old, but the spiders were the only original element I saw and lots of the static animals had seen better days. The actual golf holes were VERY dull, easy & unimaginative. There were virtually no exciting elements involved in the putting and each one was the same. We joked with the employee who welcomed us that they had a copycat company in Newcastle, but it turned out that the other place was just a far superior experience :-/ From reading a few other reviews, it seems like our positive was that the site was quiet and we didn't have to queue (5.30pm on a Monday in the holidays)

Me and my partner went to this place and was greeted with a unwelcoming start. The young girl couldn't give a smile and was very blunt. However we really enjoyed the two courses but at the end I got a hole in one on the last hole meaning you get a coin for a free game. "Buzzer didn't go off" was what the girl said when I went up to receive the coin. Do they do this often with hope people just go on? With going back and forth with the girl she eventually gave me the coin to me. Shame, it's a great course but obviously a fault and also dreadful staff.

Staff super friendly, the atmosphere and golf courses here are fun and very creative with the decorations, but the only things that ruins it here is, it’s over crowded, packed. For each level, there was about 10min wait cause of the big queue which just drags and kills the excitement.. we end up leaving way earlier as we got super bored .. there should definitely be rules on how to play mini golf such as up to 7 shots each person on each level, and if they hit more than 7 the have to give up and write down 7 on their sheet. also making a 2min timer for each player on each round would be good.

“Very disappointing experience. I went to watch the Minecraft movie and it was honestly the worst cinema visit I’ve had. It was on 12th of April, The staff were unfriendly and didn’t seem interested in helping or maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.

If you are looking for a gym in Belfast, I wouldn’t even bother trying this one, the staff are rude and cheeky, they practically don’t give a toss about their job, I bet a bunch of gluesniffers could do better and also be nicer, you can be denied entrance for the most stupid reasons, the gym is underwhelming where there is barely any machines and on a crowded day the only thing you can do is stand there, the changing rooms are pretty much a sewer where the toilets are clogged with both urine and fecal matter and the showers are broken most of the time, the only decent part about this god-forsaken place is the spa area, the steam room is so small that it can only fit up to 6 people and the sauna isn’t even that hot and is also very small.

Really great time with my football team on Saturday, even with the rain and the elements against us the boys had a laugh. The course was easy to get around and also loads of fun for the lads on a great team building exercise. Thanks Brian and the team for a great morning, all St Malachys 2014s ⚽👏

Unreal craic this course, well kept, good club house with fully stocked pro shop (beers etc). Also if you are lucky enough to be there when Lucas is working, I promise you, you will not find a better day out in Newtownabbey. The lad is an absolute stud, helped us out setting up, brought us waters and food and kept our belongings away safe during the round. LUCAS YOU ARE THE PEOPLE’S CHAMP!

Mossley Mill is a charming destination with a 500-year-old mill as its backdrop, making it an ideal spot for feeding ducks while enjoying the picturesque scenery. The staff at Mossley Mill are known for their professionalism and friendliness, providing excellent assistance whether you're collecting information or registering a birth. The building itself is a blend of old and new, offering convenient parking and easy access.
Lovely place to visit if you're interested in the history of Glengormley and the Mill. Nice cafe for a cuppa and bite to eat. The mill dam is a put and take fishery and fish can been seen swimming under the platform.

Mossley Mill in Newtownabbey is more than just a historical landmark; it's a vibrant complex offering something for everyone. Here's a breakdown of my visit: Museum: This excellent museum delves into the fascinating history of the mill, from its 19th-century origins to its closure in 1995. Interactive exhibits and informative displays showcase the lives of the workers and the linen production process. Theatre: This intimate theatre puts on a variety of productions, from local plays and musicals to comedy nights and children's shows. It boasts a charming setting and comfortable seating, making it a great choice for an evening out. Restaurant: While I didn't dine here myself, Mossley Mill Restaurant has received positive reviews for its modern Irish cuisine in a stylish setting. Things to Consider: While the museum is a great place for history buffs, it might not hold the same appeal for young children. Consider your group's interests when planning a visit. Parking can be tight, especially during peak times or events at the theatre. Arrive early to secure a spot.

I only sent about 20 minutes at the museum. You can view the digital film archive which was interesting to see. They had some art in the gallery from one artist with paintings for sale. In the museum you can see the history of the mill and a large weaving machine used. There is a bistro in site and menu looks good and not too expensive.

Cant recommend these guys enough, a fountain of knowledge and happy to share it with everyone 👊 The workouts are easy to follow with the coach keeping right and done in 30mins. I've lost 3 inches of my waist in 3 weeks, the 6 week transformation package is amazing, well thought through and comes with gorgeous meal recipes and loads of advice! Been eating bananas and oranges for breakfast forever but now stick to berries! Lovely family feel with daily check ins and comedy show worthy WhatsApp Group. Loving life! Fitting into all my beautiful clothes again! Thank you Go Lift Fitness 🥰🔥💪
Tracey G — Google review
I have found Go Lift Fitness to be the perfect kick start to my health and fitness journey. In particular the coaches Mel and Mandy have been very supportive and encouraging during this 6 wk programme. I have managed to lose a few inches from my belly which was my goal and to become stronger and healthier which I've achieved. I no longer snack late into the evenings which was the mindset shift I really needed to overcome and I can't quite believe that I've managed to beat that habit. I knew that if I upped my activity and stuck as closely as possible to the recipes and diet plan mapped out for me that I'd see results. My end goal was to get back into summer dresses and clothes that no longer fitted me and I'm very pleased to say that I'm well on my way to achieving that. I have the motivation now and I've created new habits to stick to my healthier eating regime once the 6 weeks are over. This has been the proverbial boot up the backside I needed and no one is more surprised than I am that I've stuck to it. Thanks to all the coaches for your endless support and encouragement. If you want to be summer ready I recommend Go Lift Fitness to get you started.

Before I started training with GO Lift Fitness I was lacking in energy and always tiered and like most of us we all say we are going to start training. I came across go lift Fitness on Facebook and read all the reviews and decided to bit the bullet and book a appointment. So after talking to Frank I decided this is for me. Now I have been at training with Mell for two weeks now and my waist line is down , have lost over 10lb, have a lot more energy and sleeping better and have more up and go. I would highly recommend Go Lift Fitness to everyone. Mell and Frank and staff are brilliant and give you 100% couching and all the help you need to reach your goal. Robert Hayes.

Carnmoney Hill Local Nature Reserve in Newtownabbey offers stunning views of the surrounding area, making it a great destination for a half-hour walk to the top. The 3km route is not too long and there are car parks near both entrances. The hill provides brilliant views over Newtownabbey, Belfast, Belfast Lough, and Holywood. Despite some muddy areas, walking boots or trainers are suitable for the terrain.
Beautiful walk in the lovely Irish hill of Carnmoney (Irish,Carn Monaidh Cnoc). The hill has brilliant view's over newtownabbey Gleann Ghormlaithe, Belfast, Belfast lough and Holywood (an Dún). It hadn't rained in a few days before my walk but the ground was mucky enough but not too bad, walking boots would be sufficient for this hill, even though i do grand with trainers. The hill is very steep in parts but they have put benches and small seat's in just the right places. I enjoy this walk especially living so close and would highly recommend it. go raibh maith agat!

Paul B — Google review
Not very long route that is around 3km in total. There are car parkings nearby both entrances to the park. You definitely will found the view as very attractive and beautiful. However couple of moments to consider for those who will go: 1. It is better to start your route from car parking before gas station - it will be more logical and correct 2. Exit from the route which is marked as one through residential area was closed, so I have to go over the fence in 1 place🤷 3. Be carefull on the exit slope, it was sleek after rains and with steep slope in a couple places you may start sliding 4. Slopes are steep enough in majority places - so be ready for some work by your legs😃

Then I asked them to frame a print, and both Warren and Gary were just brilliant. They offered really great advice and were so patient with me as I deliberated over the various options. The end result is just perfect - I am so pleased with it. Thanks guys, no doubt I shall see you again soon!
