Cave Hill views, Colin Glen trails, and proper craic at baby group

Belfast has come a long way and the family scene reflects a city that's growing in confidence. Cave Hill looms over the north, Colin Glen Forest Park covers the west, and the Botanic Gardens sit in the university quarter. The Titanic Quarter has been developed with families in mind. Stranmillis and the Malone Road are the traditional family areas, but there's also a lot happening in east Belfast around the Connswater Greenway.

Cave Hill is the go-to for a proper outdoor morning. The zoo sits on its slopes and the views from the top are worth the walk. Colin Glen Forest Park has a gruffalo trail and adventure playground that keep toddlers engaged. Belfast's free Ulster Museum has a nature zone and art gallery. The Botanic Gardens are lovely for a flat pushchair walk, and the Palm House is warm when it's miserable outside. The Connswater Greenway is a newer walking and cycling route through east Belfast that's getting popular with families. Sure Start centres run free groups and they're genuinely well attended.
