Free Family Days Out in Northern Ireland!

It's 2022, and the weekend is nearly here! 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

To help families find great things to do in Northern Ireland, and keep the cost down, Parenting NI have helped us to put together a map of free days out. All the places on the map are free to enter (nominal parking charges apply in some locations) and are great spots to visit as a family.

Autumn is a great season to explore the great outdoors, but even on rainy days there are some indoor activities that will keep the whole family entertained. Where will you visit? What other local places make for great family days out? Explore what is available at locally at www.discovernorthernireland.com.
