Lough Key Forest & Activity Park

What You'll Find

Lough Key Forest & Activity Park is a lovely spot because it adapts to whatever kind of day you're in the mood for. If you want something simple and budget-friendly, the forest trails and the Adventure Play Kingdom are plenty for a good day out; if you fancy pushing the boat out, there are extra bookable adventure activities on site.

The Adventure Play Kingdom is a large wooden playground that's perfect for burning off energy, the canopy walk gives a unique elevated view of the forest, and the forest and lakeside trails are lovely walking routes. Rockingham Remembered adds a historical layer to the visit, and for families wanting bigger thrills there's Boda Borg, an indoor puzzle-solving challenge, plus other bookable activities.

The mix of free outdoor space and paid attractions makes it easy to tailor to your budget, and there's a Lakeside Café with picnic tables and BBQ areas if you want to make a day of it. Parking is pay-on-exit and free for qualifying parking-card holders, and the trails and Rockingham Remembered are wheelchair accessible, which makes this a more inclusive option.
