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!

Barry's was literally my favourite place in the world as a child. To somebody from England, it…read morelooks like a dodgy fair. But to us, it was Disney World. This place literally hasn't changed in 30 years. It's still great fun. I highly recommend for any families in the area. Afterwards you can pop down to the beach.

It was our baby's first proper beach experience and he loved it , plenty of parking and and ice cream van in the car park. The beach seems to stretch into the distance and the sand is soft and golden. Has to be the best beach here.

Paying to go to a park - what kind of nonsense was that? So now that's it's free, I would urge you to take your kids for a good old run around with the added extra of fresh sea air while you're at it. There are loads of things to keep toddlers to pre-teens amused for at least an hour, including a zip line, bouncy see saw thing, several sets of swings, clinging frames and a huge structure with big round pod things which kids can hide inside. There are pic nic benches and tables too for those rare north coast days when it's warm enough to eat outside and toilets next door beside the tennis courts. That may sound trivial but parents will know it can make or break an afternoon out. Just one tip - the park is literally feet from the Atlantic and can be really windy, even during the summer. In the spring and autumn, it would blow the head off you as they say, so bring an extra layer and maybe even a hat. Oh yeah, I suppose you should bring coats for the kids too. Also bring your own refreshments as there are no shops nearby.

I took a trip with them along the North Coast and took in all the main sights including Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle and the puffins and seals of Rathlin Island. The trip happened to coincide with the LegenDerry Maritime Festival Clipper race and a Red Arrows display. A very memorable trip tearing up the sea and relishing the unique opportunity to see the spectacular beauty of the North Coast from a different perspective. Cannot recommend it enough!!

We spent an enjoyable 'wet weather' day out with the kids. The soft play area is good and the kids…read morehad a fantastic time in it. The 4D Film show was excellent, albeit on the short side. 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.
