The 48 places nearby cover a real mix — free cycling routes, the wonderfully odd Headhunters Barber Shop & Railway Museum, and solid indoor cover from bowling and museums on rainy days.

Where can you go on a rainy day near Enniskillen?
Enniskillen has good indoor cover. Headhunters Barber Shop & Railway Museum is a genuine one-off worth seeing. The Fermanagh County Museum and Inniskillings Museum are both worth a couple of hours. For younger kids, Jumpin Jacks Enniskillen has indoor trampolining, and 9th Avenue Bowling Alley is reliable tenpin fun.
What's good for young children near Enniskillen?
Fermanagh Fun Farm is a good shout for little ones — animals and farm activities tend to go down well. Castle Irvine (Necarne) Equestrian Centre offers horse and pony experiences. Johnny Rocko's is worth a visit with younger children, and Jumpin Jacks Enniskillen has trampolining that burns off plenty of energy.
