Educational

I have to be honest about what attracted us to The ecos Centre in Ballymena today. First, it was close by (we live in Co. Antrim), second it had lots of open space and some parks for the children to use up some of their seemingly limitless energy, and third, it was free. As a family of five, the price of a day out is always a consideration.

The Ecos Centre is set in "a developing country park where you can have fun exploring the natural world and how we use it". It's an educational resource as well, where you can learn about key environmental issues and how problems can be tackled and experience wildlife at first hand in its natural habitat.
