Tourist attraction in Bangor

“Absolutely Smokin good food!! Portions were very generous. We shared a starter but still couldn’t finish our mains. Definitely value for money. The cocktails were tasty. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive.”

“Great place, really enjoyed taking grandson to the soft play and his mini kickers. Going to try the pool sometime soon.”

“We have been ordering every wk from Gaze for many years now. Telephone staff are always lovely. Drivers super quick. Food is always gorgeous & hot. Peking Pork, Satay chicken, Salt & Chilli King Prawn all our favourites.”

“I only stopped of for a coffee on my way past. It was an awesome coffee. I will be stopping there every time I go near the place.”

“I first visited in 1971 as a child. Since then I’ve visited the museum over 20 times. I always see and learn something new. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and knowledgeable. We pick a nice day and walk the full park, thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet especially in the rural sections. A special place.”

“Lovely park, great big walk with the dog. It has a lovely little cafe and nice, clean toilets. Most sunny days you can also find an ice cream van near the beach! You can choose to walk several different routes, woods or beach or a mixture of both.”

“Cockle Row cottages now open at weekends. Check Ards and North Down Borough Council for times etc. Nice spot and great pub grub at Groomsport Inn”

“Crawfordsburn is a great place for whatever kind of day out you have in mind. Inland country park walks, coastal path walk (Helen's bay to Bangor), grassy areas for games, the beach, a nice café, and the ice-cream van! We were there for a church bbq and were able to make use of the activity/scout centre, which has a great covered area for any unsuspecting showers. Lots of picnic tables and toilet facilities. Ample parking in the main carpark and toilets are also available at the café.”

“Love this place so much, food always tasty, service excellent”

“Great place for a swim or out on the paddle board. Water crystal clear.”

“It certainly is a treat to visit The Starfish, made especially enticing by their fabulous specials. I love the food and absolutely love being in there, it’s so light and airy. Beautiful brunch spot!”

“I love this place good chillout spot great coffee shop park life in the grounds lovely walks feed the birds and generally has it all. Plus a brand new play park.”

“Had lunch here on 02/09/2025. Marvellous variety on the starters/lightbites menu - loads of unusual dishes, so we were spoiled for choice. Chose beef nachos and the crab claws in an Asian sauce with a cheese and onion bap. Everything was delicious, well presented and great portions. The sauce with the crab was so tasty, I used my teaspoon to eat it like a soup. Excellent altogether.”

“Visited the pickie pumpkin patch on Sunday 27th Oct. It was fantastic fun. My 6 year old grandson loved every minute of it. From choosing his pumpkin and getting it carved, to petting a snake. The exploris pop up aquarium was very informative and the guy who was telling us all the facts made it fun too which the kids enjoyed. My grandson got on all the free rides, we all got on the pickie puffer and the swans and then when we went into the cafe for a warm drink and snack, there was a lady dressed up and singing spooky songs. She was fantastic. All in all it was a brilliant day and i would definitely return!!!”

“First time I’d been here and not disappointed. It was a group dinner, 50 or so of us, and everything was delivered swiftly, all the mains were hot, all the puddings hot or cold as they should be, and everything looking as fresh as though it was the only meal they’d prepared. It was all delicious and very well cooked and presented. The atmosphere was beautifully calm for such a large area and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Although we were in a big group I felt as personally cared for and valued by the staff as though I was the only person there, and others in the group agree. Highly recommended, and a big thank you to all the lovely staff.”

“Absolutely loved my visit here with my husband and children. My kids loved their sausage rolls and buns and my husband said it was the nicest sausage roll he's had. I thoroughly enjoyed mine too, the staff was exceptional! So friendly couldn't fault them whatsoever. The decor was beautiful. We can't wait to go back again another day. Had such a great experience”

“We have been buying our Indian takeaways from Green Chilli for 20years. We occasionally try other restaurants but always return to Green Chilli. Consistently the best.”
