Before You Visit
The playground is outdoors and the paddling pools are seasonal, so check current information before travelling if the pools are the main reason for your visit. Portrush can get extremely busy on sunny weekends and during school holidays, so nearby parking can fill quickly.
Pack swimwear, towels, a change of clothes and buckets and spades.
Top Tips
- ⭐Arrive earlier on busy sunny days
- ⭐Combine it with a walk along East Strand
- ⭐Add another Portrush attraction for a bigger day out
- ⭐Finish with some chips or an ice cream
