7 Best Indoor Play Centres In County Londonderry

7 family-friendly indoor play centres in County Londonderry, ranked by rating

Ratings this consistent are rare. Every one of County Londonderry's seven indoor venues scores 4.3 or better — no duds, no gambles, just a page where the choice comes down to what your children enjoy rather than what to avoid. Kidz Ahoy at Roe Valley LC leads with a perfect 5, a leisure-centre soft play that visitors clearly adore. Three venues share 4.6: Sperrin Fun Farm, one of two entries adding outdoor space to the indoor offer; Locknload, for an action-flavoured session; and Brunswick Movie Bowl, where lanes and screens combine into the classic bad-weather double bill. Cheeky Chimps and the Jet Centre Coleraine — the other indoor-outdoor hybrid — both hold 4.5, and Alley Cats Indoor Play Centre closes the list at a still-healthy 4.3. Seven for seven above 4.3 says something about the standard of family venues in this part of Northern Ireland. Pick by geography or pick by format — farm, film, lanes or frames — and it is genuinely hard to get it wrong here, which is not a sentence this site gets to write about many counties.

Top indoor play centres in County Londonderry

With quality this even, build the choice around the day you want. The movie-and-bowling combination fills a whole afternoon in one building; the farm rewards a dry spell and a morning start; the leisure-centre soft play is the reliable quick fix. Derry, Coleraine and Limavady each have at least one strong local option, so cross-county drives are for variety rather than necessity. Session times, party packages and age zones vary venue to venue — each listing here carries the details venues publish.

Indoor Play Centres in County Londonderry: FAQs

What can families do indoors in Coleraine?

Coleraine holds one of the page's busiest one-stop options: the Jet Centre Coleraine mixes several activities under one roof, with outdoor space as a bonus, and rates 4.5 with visitors. It suits the mixed-age group whose members refuse to agree on a single activity — everyone picks their own corner of the building.

Which venue combines a film with another activity?

Brunswick Movie Bowl is the double bill: cinema screens and bowling lanes in one venue, rated 4.6. It is the format that saves a truly wet Saturday, because the two halves absorb an entire afternoon without anyone re-parking a car — bowl first, then let the film settle the post-game arguments.

Is there a farm option with indoor cover in County Londonderry?

Sperrin Fun Farm fills that slot, pairing animal attractions with indoor play space and earning a 4.6 rating for the mix. Farms with genuine undercover areas are the great weather hedge — commit to the visit, and let the sky decide the running order between the play barn and the animals.
