Full Description

Carnfunnock Country Park on the Antrim Coast is normally a brilliant family day out, with woodland walks, a maze, gardens and adventure play overlooking the sea. However, the main park and family attractions are currently CLOSED for redevelopment, so please do not travel expecting the playground, maze, visitor centre or usual facilities to be open. The separately operated Family Fun Zone also confirms it is closed throughout 2026, with no reopening date announced yet. The council has published a map of area access and some entrances may be open, but access during the works is not guaranteed and can change — check the council's map before setting off. Once the park reopens, it will be well worth rediscovering its family attractions and coastal views.

What You'll Find

The country park has woodland and garden walks, children’s play areas, open spaces and family attractions spread across the grounds. Some activities within the park can be seasonal or carry a separate charge, so what’s available can vary through the year.
