Full Description
Foyle Arena is a great all-weather option in Derry when the wee ones need to burn off some energy. This large leisure centre offers swimming and a range of indoor sports facilities, so it is handy for an active family outing whatever the weather.
The swimming pools are a big draw, with family or learner sessions worth looking out for on the timetable. Older children may also be interested in climbing or other activities where suitable sessions are offered. Because activities operate on different schedules, it is worth deciding what you want to do before setting off rather than assuming everything is available for drop-in visits.
It is a great option for a rainy day or a fun activity during the school holidays. With the right session booked, even a simple swim can feel like a proper little adventure.
