Curry's Fun Park

Curry's Fun Park sits just outside Bushmills, a proper little amusement ground that punches above its weight for a wet afternoon or a sunny day when you've had enough of cliff walks. It's the kind of place where you'll find dodgems, arcade games, and the sort of rides that make kids shriek with genuine delight - nothing too extreme, which is exactly the point.

The park works brilliantly as a breather if you're doing the Causeway Coast circuit. You could spend two hours here, maybe three if your lot are glued to the claw machines, then head back to proper entertainment elsewhere. Families with younger children will get the most from it - teenagers might find it a touch tame, but nobody's ever complained about having fun.

It's free to wander in and have a look around, though you'll pay per ride or game. No massive outlay required unless you're planning to spend the entire day going round the dodgems repeatedly. Best visited on a fine day when the outdoor rides are worth queuing for, though there's enough indoor stuff to keep everyone occupied if the weather turns.

If you're based at Causeway Country Pods nearby, this makes a solid Plan B when the Giant's Causeway crowds get too much or you need a break from walking. It's casual, unpretentious, and does exactly what it says on the tin.
