What to Expect

Glenarm Castle offers a dedicated children’s Mini Land Rover off-road experience on a specially built track in the castle estate. Five scaled-down Land Rovers are available, each with a steering wheel, starter key, accelerator, lights and a direction switch. Children who meet the 97cm minimum height requirement can drive independently around the course while a parent walks alongside. The experience is best suited to children up to approximately 10 years old. One car can accommodate two smaller children. Operators can cut the engine remotely via a hand-held fob. Pre-booking is advised as sessions are popular.
