Funworks

Soft play in the middle of Newtownabbey that the kids genuinely get excited about — the slides are a big hit and there’s enough to keep them busy for a solid hour or two. It’s a go-to spot for birthday parties around here, so expect it to get pretty packed on weekends. The enclosed setup means you’re not constantly chasing them around, which is a relief. Worth knowing that cleanliness can be hit or miss depending on when you visit, so maybe avoid peak times if that bothers you. Parking’s handy and there are loos on-site, so practically speaking it ticks the boxes for a rainy day out with the 3-and-ups.
