Dooey's Cairn is free and worth the visit on its own — ancient stone ruins in the open air. Rosepark Farm suits smaller children well, and K-Team Karting is great for older ones.
Nearby Ballymoney and Kilrea fill things out further — free museums, soft play centres, and The Lake Kilrea activity centre. There's enough here for a solid family day out.
