Story is that you call in, pick a piece of unpainted pottery, loads of different design and types/prices to choose from, paint it all the mad colours/designs you like. Stephanie the owner then glazes it, fires (bakes it) in her oven and you either call in or she will post it to you after. All great fun, perfect for a rainy day in Sligo or any day in fact. Have some great mugs because of this place. Venue's like this are sometimes forgotten about but try and remember this one in Sligo. Staff are all great fun, very helpful and a bit crazy and mad! P.S. Really nice website

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OPENING HOURS DETAILED HERE ARE FOR JULY AND AUGUST…read more My family has a love-hate relationship with Waterworld. The kids love it and the husband and I hate it. Honestly, I find it almost physically painful to go there but my children get so much unadulterated pleasure from it that I grit my teeth and go. They don't see the heaving crowds, the film of god knows what on the top of the water and the toddlers with dangerously loose swim nappies. They don't hear the ear splitting noise or feel the cold blasts of cold air. What they see is the large pool with a Jacuzzi along one side, the water slides and best of all the huge pirate ship in the middle of the second pool, complete with water blasters, slides and rope climbs. When I describe it like that I can see why they love it so much. If your kids can swim, they will just love this place. You could still take non swimmers but you'll have to be very vigilant and follow them the whole time as they can go under the pirate ship where the water is about 4 feet deep. If your kids can be left unattended, you can have a rest in one of the Jacuzzis which are for adults only. Tinies can also enjoy the paddling pool. I am a bit of a germ phobe and thought the changing rooms and toilets could have been cleaner on our last 2 visits. Here's my top tip - if you are going during the summer hols, ring ahead and ask if they have a summer scheme booked in that day. If they say yes, then don't go as it will be unbearably busy. Ask which days there are no summer schemes expected and go then instead. You'll spend a couple of hours there so at about £16 for a family of four, it's pretty good value for money and will totally exhaust the kids for the rest of the day.

Just a pity it doesn't offer a bigger swimming area. There is a small cafe with a limited selection but ok for a snack. Children will have a great day out no matter what age they are.

Cost for a combined activities (ie soft play/Turbo Tours 4D film/ Treasure Fortress) family ticket could have been a little better than it was, and it would have been good to have been warned before hand that some activities in the Fortress were not working properly as it spoiled or enjoyment a bit when we discovered this for ourselves).One major gripe was, if a bit lacking in seating and also supervision from staff (yes, I know parents/carers are responsible for their own kids, but I still think there should also be an adequate staff presence and that they should rotate around areas regularly so as not to become bored/complacent in their duties). Oh and just remembered another gripe. Children had to leave the area the soft play was in and go across the main entrance/foyer area of the centre to access the toilets - not ideal. Also, after paying at the main reception, there wasn't actually any control system at the combined entrance/exit to the play area and anyone, children or adults, could come or go as they please - very, very, risky! That said, with a bit more attention to these safety/security issues, this could be an excellent place. Food available on site, some gift shops, and other activities all add to its plus points. Well worth taking the climb up the tower for lovely views from the top too.

I struggled a bit on what review to give this one. I have my childhood memories of Barry's and a…read moretrip here was the ultimate treat! I absolutely loved it and had so much fun, and we used to spend hours here! I went again as an adult and was distinctly underwhelmed. It was exactly as I'd remembered it from all those years before. Nothing had changed, except the place was massively smaller than I'd remembered. Barry's, however, is aimed at children, and the fun I had all those years ago was the main thing, along with the fun I could see all the young ones having on my visit. They do have some rides that adults can enjoy, such as the big dipper! All the rides are payable using tokens (which can be bought from kiosks inside the building) but make sure you bring some money for the cafe!

Dinner and evening extras like massages etc can be arranged. They have team building package that seems great value for £55. Includes activities and food. There is also conference faculties available to rent. People come from around the globe to come hear. I can see why. It's very slick and professional.
