Getting there
Rascalz, 1 Cavan Road, Castlederg, Co. Tyrone, BT81 7TP — in a converted old school with on-site parking, handy for west Tyrone.
Rascalz opened in 2019 as Castlederg's dedicated indoor soft play centre, set in a converted former school building — the old St Eugene's — on Cavan Road. It splits play by age, with a baby and toddler area for 0–2s and a main climbing frame for 3–12s, alongside gaming consoles and a reading corner.
The on-site Old School coffee shop serves food and drink to players and the public alike, and the centre offers party packages with dedicated party rooms. Midweek it runs toddler mornings and discounts for childminders, schools and youth groups — a proper community spot.
