A two-storey indoor frame inside Bangor's Aurora leisure complex — climbing, slides and a separate baby and toddler zone, with a café for parents and, handily, a swimming pool under the same roof. Good value and free parking, whatever the North Down weather.
What you'll do — a two-storey soft play frame with climbing and slides for children up to about 12 (1m tall minimum for the big slides).
Little ones sorted — a separate baby and toddler zone with a ball pit, soft toys and a small slide, so the smallest have their own space.
Café & a pool next door — a café on site for food and drinks, and because it's in the Bangor Aurora complex there's a swimming pool under the same roof to build a bigger day around.
How long & cost — most give it 1–2 hours, around £5 per child a session, with babies under 9 months free. Prices change, so check.
Free parking — free car parking at the Bangor Aurora complex.
Grippy socks & a height rule. Pack anti-slip socks, and note the big slides need a 1m minimum height.
