Brilliant family day with our teenage daughters getting involved in all the activities including footgolf, laser tag, hoover boarding and laser shooting. Even though none of us are great at football, we gave the footgolf a go and loved it. The team looked after us, giving their advice during the actives such as archery and the hoover boards. The burgers and cakes on site went down a treat at lunch time. We had a great day and recommend a great day to get the kids off their phones and engaging in some activities.

Need 4 Speed Indoor Karting

Reviewed By Alanwexford - Wexford, Ireland

Our first visit to Need 4 Speed in Doagh, Newtownabbey. Very impressed by the whole set up. I emailed through their website a couple of days beforehand to check availability and Debs quickly got back to us within minutes, and booked us in. Good friendly welcome when we arrived with everyone wearing their covid masks. We all changed into racing suits. Fresh gloves and hair coverings were provided. We watched a safety briefing video before heading out to the track where the instructor led us around the first lap of the track to make sure everyone was happy and knew what to do. We had two sessions on the track with a short interval where we were able to check track times, and tried to improve on the second session. Kids had a great time, and we look forward to returning.

Thanks to all the team at Eile Mental for a fantastic experience. It was really well set up and organised and in a cool location.

Well worth a visit. My 4 and 6 year old really enjoyed all this indoor playground had to offer. The staff were friendly and attentive during our visit. We felt safe during our visit, with our temps taken on arrival, tables socially distanced and hand sanitizerrs available throughout. Although we did not have hot food, it looked good. The coffee we got as super.

We spent over two hours here earlier today. We opted for the family package with some add ons and went for the Tag Archery, Assault Course and Splat Master. The whole family had a fantastic day. We were reasonably prepared for all weathers and it was a "bit damp" to put it mildly but the adrenalin and non stop encouragement from the head marshal meant that we hardly noticed! Being based in Co. Kildare ourselves we are delighted that we found this adventure centre less than an hour's drive away and we will definitely be back (hopefully with better weather!) to try some of the other activities. Well done guys.

Glen Valley Adventure Centre

Reviewed By Downingsjunkie

We came here in August 2018 Easter 2019 and we are here again. First and foremost the welcome and attention you are given is unreal. Nothing is too much, they only want you to enjoy the experience. From zip wire, to climbing the 30ft wall... This team will encourage a shy or nervous child to achieve these goals without any pressure. For those who prefer indoors the huge barn is equipped with bouncy castles, Go kart style cars, the electronic bull not forgetting the indoor and outdoor BBQ. There are also swings and a trampoline outdoors for younger children. For adults they too can have their share of the fun. From archery to clay pigeon shooting and the off road driving there is something for all. My husband has now joined a local archery club as a result of his experience here. This centre is a hidden treasure where children can switch off from the usual distractions of electronic gadgets and have a blast. Well done Team Dennis... Syria, paddy and Mary B and all who make this experience so enjoyable. Theresa & Andy
