Before you set off

What to bring

  • 🧦Grippy socksA pair of anti-slip socks per child — most centres need them on the frame, and often for adults too.
  • 👕A spare topBall pools and big slides make for warm, mucky kids — a change of top saves a soggy drive home.
  • 💳Card or cashFor entry and the café — the coffee is the grown-up reward.
  • 🚰A water bottleClimbing and sliding is thirsty work, and there is a wipe-down at the end of it.

The story

About the centre

Honeybees Playtown opened in 2021 and has since moved into a larger unit on the Pennybridge Industrial Estate in Ballymena, where it bills itself as a state-of-the-art indoor play centre for ages 0 to 10.

Alongside the standard frames and ball pits, it leans into role-play with a town of ten miniature businesses, and it runs dedicated SEN sessions so children with additional needs get a calmer, more inclusive visit.
