Harry Avery's Castle is free and gives you medieval ruins to wander. Gortin Glen Forest Park is close by for woodland walks and fresh air.
The mix is solid. Ulster American Folk Park makes a proper full day out for families interested in heritage. Glenpark Estate & Open Farm keeps younger children happy outdoors, and there's paintball for older kids who need something more full-on.
