Like I mentioned in the caravan park review the long blonde haired guy at the visitor center was awful. The play park is great. My little girl loved everything there was to offer. There is a great selection of activities here. The cafe was decent with a good selection of things to buy and the staff here were warm and friendly

You could stop here along the coastal route. In hindsight save £4 and park in the free car park at the bay at the bottom. £1 a go on the remote control trucks and boats was worth it. The maze is ok. The walled garden alright. The cafe is run down. This place is crying out for some bike trails.

Haven’t been in a while, definitely not as good. Main Cafe not open and just pre cooked/prepared food in the small cafe near the playground microwaved while you wait . Bring food would be my advice. Looking a bit neglected also. Won’t be in a rush back.

Our church hired the private bbq area for a Sunday afternoon and it was perfect for young, old and everyone in between (plus dogs!) Great area next to the fun park and a large open green for football etc.

Great hike in the forest, amazing views, and just round the corner from Ballygally which is one of the nicest beaches in this part of the world.
