2. Bouncy Castle + Hall Combo (The NI Classic That Still Delivers)

In Greenisland, it’s even easier: plenty of flat gardens, community halls, and suppliers who cover the area.

5. Arts, Crafts & Chill Parties (Stress-Free Alternative)

Not every child is a high-energy chaos machine. Some are… civilized.

For creative or quieter kids, arts/crafts parties are ideal.

Great options for 4–10:

  • Slime workshops

Greenisland is perfectly placed between:

  • The seafront

  • Belfast Lough walkways

  • Play parks

  • Close to Carrickfergus Castle

  • Close to Jordanstown’s family spots

Plan a hybrid party:

  1. Activity outside (short walk, treasure hunt, playground time)

  2. Then home/hall for cake, snacks & a hired entertainer

This works especially well for kids aged 5–8—maximum fun, minimum cost.
