We went to Barry's last week with my 6 year old and my partners 4 year old, initially looked cool, but do walk through the arcade and take note of how many rides u want to go on and which ones take money and which ones take tokens.

On our holiday in Portballintrae, my children were desperate to get to Barry's, we went for a day trip during the Easter break. It was very busy, the kids loved the rides and entire atmosphere of it. Brought back a whole lot of memories!

This is good fun for the family. We spent a lot of money on the rides and machines but it was good fun and well worth it.....the best game for my 9 yr old only needed 2p's so £1 kept her busy for ages! Good day out in a lovely town

Good honest fun day for a wet day over Easter. Perfect or kids amusement. Several chances on keepsakes on most rides. Can't visit portrush without going to Barry's

Great place to take the children when the Northern Irish weather lets you down! Have been here as a child, mother/auntie. Many of the rides are as they were 25 years ago, the hobby horses and the Ghost train especially! Just be sure to have a pocketful of change for the fruit machines! My advice if you are visiting Portrush... More
