Summer of Play - Games on the Roof

Looking for a GIANT day out that will keep the family entertained? We've got you covered with a jam-packed, adventure-filled summer at the Giant's Causeway!

  • Booking advisable
  • Free event (admission applies)

As part of our Summer of Play activities, sponsored by Starling Bank, we're holding Games on the Roof of the Visitor Centre on the following dates -

Friday 4 July Friday 1 August Friday 15 August

From 11:00am - 3:00pm, enjoy a mix of traditional family favourites, like GIANT Connect 4, X's and O's and GIANT checkers. Challenge a family member to a game of Bean Bag or Ring Toss, or maybe even a game of Swingball if you're feeling competitive. Our resident friendly giant, Finn McCool and his Fitness Challenge will be making a return too, and he's also been hard at work, creating a brand new obstacle course!

That's only a small snippet of what we have up our sleeves...we have lots more thrown into the mix!

Keep these Fridays free and enjoy a vibrant, colourful Summer of Play at Northern Ireland's iconic World Heritage Site.
