SPLISH-SPLASH
Let ’ s Go Hydro knows how important it is to keep the family busy and to soak up the day with non-stop family-fun . This huge aqua park is packed to the brim with inflatable slides , obstacle courses , floating trampolines and daring leaps for the brave of heart . Stay the night with their on-site glamping and let the fun continue again the next day .
Zip to it
It ’ s hard to believe this magical 200-acre forest park is tucked away just minutes from Belfast City centre . Colin Glen is teeming with natural beauty and trails to explore but if you want the whistle-stop tour , you ’ re in luck ! The Glen is home to Ireland ’ s first Alpine Coaster and two dual Ziplines , giving you mind-blowing views of the forest park , Belfast City , and beyond . The River Rapid is Ireland ’ s longest zipline , and definitely not for the faint of heart .
Feeling folksy
After zooming through the forest , your family might want to take a more leisurely stroll through the Ulster Folk Museum . A short drive from the city towards Holywood , Co . Down , you can explore thatched
cottages , working farms , and experience life as it was over 100 years ago . There ’ s even a working forge and local blacksmith who ’ s always up for a chat .
Roam wild
If wildlife is more your thing , introduce your little monkeys to the animals at Belfast Zoo ! With over 55 acres to roam around and over 130 species to see , you ’ ll need to remind yourself that you ’ re still in Belfast and not the Amazon rainforest . Just don ’ t forget to take your wild ones home at the end of the day – kidding !
Crumlin Road Gaol
Belfast ’ s infamous prison has opened its doors once again , turning its 150-year old history and colourful past into the 5 * visitor attraction we know today . After touring Crumlin Road Gaol , you and your family can grab a bite to eat at Cuffs Bar & Grill . There ’ s little bites and a kids ’ menu that is sure to satisfy any peckish rumbles .
Rest Up and Refresh
La Mon Hotel ( 4 *) is family-owned and just outside the city . It ’ s the perfect base for exploring the area and being able to nip into Belfast when you need . Or add a twist to your stay and book into the luxury Pods at Streamvale . One for yourselves and one for the kids … you deserve a little holiday within a holiday too .
