2. Pickie Fun Park- This is a fun adventure park in Bangor with amusements such as: swans, disco ducks, zorbing, mini golf and a playpark for the younger ones. There is also a café and ice cream shop and in the summer there is a hotdog and candy floss stand. All ages recommended to come to this adventure filled place.

3. Aurora- The Aurora is a water and sports themed leisure centre. At the Aurora there is many exciting things to do such as, swimming, playing in the water park, kicking in the football area, trampolining in the trampolining area and working out at the gym. After you’ve done one of these exciting things there is café where you can sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee with your friends.

4. Walled Garden- Next to the Aurora there is a beautiful garden filled with dazzling flowers, water fountains and spectacular trees. This really is one of the most eye catching places you will find in Northern Ireland. I highly recommend this place for photographers, nature lovers and even just bring along the whole family for an experience I’m sure you won’t forget.

5. Ward Park- This is a lovely place to go out to for the day as there is a lot to do. You can play in the park, go for a walk and look at the flowers and birds they have there. Or you can go and feed the ducks or play tennis. All in all, this really is a good place to visit with your family.

6. Bangor Library- There is a library right next to Ward Park that in Bangor it is open for people of all ages. There is a kids section, an adults section and a students section. This is a really good place to stop by when going to ward park (up to 9 books can be taken at once).

7. Castle Park- This is lovely place to go for a walk, as there is a nice grassy area to have a game of football as well as there being some nice scenic routes to take. The location is also very good as it is next to the cinema and the Aurora, once again I highly recommend coming to this place for a walk.

9. Tennis at Groomsport- In Groomsport, there is a lovely tennis court next to the beach and a park, it is a lovely place to go for a barbecue or a picnic, where you can relax and have good time while the children are playing on the swings. This is another place I highly recommend for you to come if you want to go out for the day.

10. Boating Around Bangor- At Pickie Fun Park, there is a boat which you can take that brings you from Bangor, to Crawfordsburn, then back. This is another amazing experience to have and afterwards you can go into the Funpark at Pickie situated in Bangor Marina for even more fun.
