Paid indoor play, all weather

This is a paid, themed soft-play session inside the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre. Recent published prices sat around the low single figures per child (roughly under-3s cheaper than 4s and over), but soft-play prices change often, so check before you go. It is built for children up to about 12, climbing a three-floor pirate frame. Sessions are pre-booked or confirmed by phone with the centre on 028 2766 0260, which matters most at weekends and school holidays. There is food on site through the leisure-centre restaurant and snack offering, so parents can sit with a coffee while the kids play.

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

Treasure Island is the council-run, pirate-themed indoor soft-play area inside Ballymoney's Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre, operated by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. It is a purpose-built three-floor frame for children up to around 12, with slides, a ball pool, a ball cannon arena and interactive games.

Sitting inside a full leisure centre means a cafe, free parking and a swimming pool are all on the same site, making it an easy combined day out when the weather closes in.
