I attentended my daughters class mates 5th birthday party at World of Wonder (WOW) this morning…read more WOW opened before Christmas and was the idea of the owners of the Loughshore Hotel. It's a big indoor soft play area which has four private party rooms and different packages for parties as well as single use entry fees. It can accommodate upto 200 kids and adults with ample seating and eating facilities. It's also in a prime location. After the kids played the cake was cut and the kids were ready for cocktail sausages, fresh chicken nuggets, chips, sandwiches, pizza and crisps, with water and juice to wash it down. I would have liked to have seen some fruit and carrot sticks also. That being said both kids and adults were well satisfied-it would be great if there was something like this for adults only!!!!

Snakes and Ladders, Bangor…read more Great place to come generally with kids, though not if you are looking piece and quiet! Reasonably priced and a nice selection of food and drinks for the young ones and adults alike. Definately worth mentioning too how great they are will allergies - my daughter has a severe egg allergy and everytime we're here they couldn't be any more helpful and caring. I am currently at a private party too which is a great option for kids party's outside the usual opening hours - so they can have the full run of the place with their nearest and dearest - just ring up and ask for Michelle for more info about this. Great place!!

Just held my son's 5th birthday party here. With my nephew being anaphylactic airborne to nuts and…read more severely allergic to egg, finding places that are accommodating can be very challenging. Claire and the team at funkys didn't bat an eyelid. We needed to make sure the play area was clean as nut residue can last a long time on things. We needed to make sure that all the food provided was egg free (it was, right down to the chicken nuggets which often have egg in the coating). I had very little to do other than show up - being a "Pinterest party mum" I wasn't looking forward to handing over complete control of my kids party but they did a stellar job. 2 hours of playing, invites provided, Mickey Mouse paid a visit to the disco, food was plentiful and the kids demolished it - ham, cheese and jam sandwiches, two kinds of crisps, fruit kebabs, sausages and chicken nuggets, all you can drink diluted juice. The staff were friendly and helpful, they even sliced up my cake and threw my extra trinkets into the party bags for the kids. Can't recommend this place enough, it was worth every penny. We'll likely be back again next year

An absolute saviour for anyone with kids or baby sitting duties. A bit expensive if you've got more…read morethan one with you, but wee ones that don't walk yet are only £1. Plus there's good membership deals which make it worth it if you're planning on coming a lot. There's a cafe with surprisingly good food like paninis and baked potatoes and a good selection of coffees too. There's a little soft play area away from the main play area which is handy for little crawlers to keep them out of the way of the bigger kids and the main play area is well equipped with slides, rollers and spinny things as well as the more traditional cars, houses and see saws. A hit all 'round!

We spent an enjoyable 'wet weather' day out with the kids. The soft play area is good and the kids…read morehad a fantastic time in it. The 4D Film show was excellent, albeit on the short side. Cost for a combined activities (ie soft play/Turbo Tours 4D film/ Treasure Fortress) family ticket could have been a little better than it was, and it would have been good to have been warned before hand that some activities in the Fortress were not working properly as it spoiled or enjoyment a bit when we discovered this for ourselves).One major gripe was, if a bit lacking in seating and also supervision from staff (yes, I know parents/carers are responsible for their own kids, but I still think there should also be an adequate staff presence and that they should rotate around areas regularly so as not to become bored/complacent in their duties). Oh and just remembered another gripe. Children had to leave the area the soft play was in and go across the main entrance/foyer area of the centre to access the toilets - not ideal. Also, after paying at the main reception, there wasn't actually any control system at the combined entrance/exit to the play area and anyone, children or adults, could come or go as they please - very, very, risky! That said, with a bit more attention to these safety/security issues, this could be an excellent place. Food available on site, some gift shops, and other activities all add to its plus points. Well worth taking the climb up the tower for lovely views from the top too.

We took our toddler here today for a play. A huge warehouse turned into a children's play area,…read moregreat idea. There is a lot in here for kids, there is a big stage at the back of the store where kids can dance with a huge video screen above, dj section too. Lots of rides, a mini library, a quietish seating area , toddler area for under 4s , bigger kids play area and lots of games machines. There is a cafe selling, chips, coffee, tea, crisps, sandwiches, baked potatoes , ice cream and more. There are lots of tables and chairs to sit at and the prices are decent in the cafe. We paid £4.95 for 2 hours I think it is for the play area, our boy is nearly 2 and prices vary depending on the children's age. Lockers available, this place is great for kids birthday parties etc not sure of the prices. Can get quite busy in here. Free car parking available outside.

Happy town is an ideal play centre to take your kids to. Its split into sections for different age…read moregroups with a variety of soft play equipment. There's even a stage for little performers to dance to music and a massive screen too. Slides , ball pits,cosy coupe cars and track. There's also tablet style screen in one section with various apps. Books and a football cage. there's plenty of rooms for birthday parties and games machines and rides. It's got everything including hot food , the car park is really big too. They could easily use part of the car park as a small outside play area with swings etc. Best play centre by far and the staff are watching and supervising all areas to keep it safe for everyone. Making sure older kids don't get into areas designed for younger kids and babies.

Dundonald International Ice Bowl is split in to four elements, there's obviously the ice rink, clip…read moreand climb, the infamous Indiana Land and 'xtreme bowling' - this review is primarily for 'xtreme bowling'. Firstly a note on the centre as a whole - with lots of attractive indoor facilities it's a fantastic place to take kids (I was with my nephews) and there's loads for them to do and for you to spend your money on. In my opinion the reception area could do with a revamp, no matter how good the facilities are it's your first impressions that count. Xtreme Bowling is like normal bowling but coupled with UV lights and loud top 40 chart music - these two added elements make it feel more like an under 18's disco. There are 20 lanes although I'd advise booking in advance as when we attended we got given the last lane. It cost's £19.50 for four people (family pass) and I'd say it's well worth the money! There's an in house DJ who comes around giving out spot prizes to kids which is a nice touch. If you're not too good at bowling or have young kids they will put the buffers up and provide you with a ramp so it really is suitable for all ages and abilities. My nephews seemed to enjoy it but they didn't once mention the UV lights which I thought would have been the major talking point. All in all it's a good complex and a nice twist on regular bowling.
