    Did you actually read the OP? They are visitors to the area and the OP is looking for something in the area that they may find entertaining for teen tourists.

    It's easier to come on a thread and make a smart remark than to post something useful. Mind you, I don't think jamespir is even from NI to be able to make a helpful remark.

    Sorry I can't help OP as my kids are a lot younger so no idea what teens do these days for entertainment.

    too right, whenever my parents dropped me off at my grandas, he made me dig out stones from his vegetable plot....got a £fiver and was as happy as sh#t.......nowadays the youngins couldn't be bothered doing hard work.

    ...also had to gather spuds with me ma at that age and was lucky if I got a few quid

    Penwise, get them to do something around the house then treat them with something....they'll grow up thinking more of you and alot wiser too
