7 Best Activities In Lisburn
One outdoor entry against six under cover. As family destinations go, Lisburn is about as rain-proof as they come, and Wallace Park — the single open-air listing — is best treated as a bonus for a bright morning rather than the backbone of the day.
Everything else carries on whatever happens. The noisy, active end belongs to Airtastic Entertainment Centre Lisburn and Airtastic Ultimate Challenges, Lagan Valley LeisurePlex is the pool, Jumping Jacks is for the small ones, Nature and Nurture is the calmer, gentler option and Laganview Golf Centre keeps a swing going out of the drizzle.

This is a list that ignores the forecast almost entirely. That makes Lisburn a good place to hold in reserve: when a day outdoors falls apart at short notice, six of the seven options here are still exactly as good as they were an hour ago.
Visiting Lisburn with kids: FAQs
Is there anywhere outdoors for families in Lisburn?
Wallace Park is the one open-air entry, and worth using the moment the weather allows: open ground, no booking, nothing to organise. Everything else round here sits under a roof, so a dry spell is better spent on the park than saved for later.
What suits pre-school children in Lisburn?
Jumping Jacks is built for that age and nothing else, which is usually what you want. Nature and Nurture is the quieter option for children who find big play centres overwhelming, and Lagan Valley LeisurePlex works from toddler age upwards provided an adult is in the water alongside them.
Where would older kids and teenagers go?
Airtastic Ultimate Challenges is pitched at the age that wants a physical challenge rather than a play frame, and Airtastic Entertainment Centre Lisburn covers the rest of that bracket. Laganview Golf Centre is the slower alternative and works surprisingly well for a mixed group of teenagers and adults.
