    Spent a lovely afternoon here with friends.

    Very small, intimate museum, with fantastic staff who really take the time to make sure you get the most from your visit.

    Will definitely return when we're next in Bangor!

    A splendid house with a museum on local history and a cool coffee shop. Take a walk through the park to the walked gardens.

    This is part of a coastal walk from Donaghadee to Holywood, and is usually called just the Coastal Path by locals. Beautiful views of Belfast Lough, looking across to the Antrim Hills, from the undulating paved path. Popular with walkers (with and without dogs) and joggers, and some cyclists, the latter on mountain bikes who frequently treat it as a race course. Incredibly, there are plans to widen the path and encourage cycling, so make the most of the pleasnt path as it is now, in case this error of judgement comes to pass.

    Plenty of variety; well organised, a fun place to be. 4-year-old loved it. Spent £20 on tokens for the rides that required them, Good value because of the variety with plenty of 'free' play items to fill out a couple of hours with ease - plus stopping for ice cream. Friendly helpful young staff. Only major downside was the toilets which, towards the end of the afternoon, had obviously not been cleaned and in some cases were disgusting. Pity because everything else would be recommended for a visit and would have been worth 5 stars

    Having spent the week after Christmas in the house "entertaining" the unwelcome covid virus, the chance to come outside for a short walk in stimulating fresh air was seized upon eagerly.
    On a rare dry day we walked along the promenade around the bay, stopping occasionally to rest as a result of low energy levels.
    The sea air was a wonderful tonic and just what was needed to start our recovery.

    We were meant to stay 2 hours, ended up almost four hours. The variety of trees, bushes, plants and flowers is unparalleled.

    We enjoyed a walk through the park and were surprised to see two herons perched on high branches in one of the trees. There is a good variety of trees and apparently in Autumn the maples add a welcome splash of colour to the canvas.

    Wonderworld for the skaters, skateboarders, BMX'ers or other and all under the one roof. The guys are themselves experienced and at hand to help the novice, or the more experienced and a plethora of skating and BMXing items to spend your hard earned money on.
