The Visitor Attraction scheme, which was introduced to NI in 2012, is designed to give visitors a clear idea of the standards of service, cleanliness, comfort and food they can expect during their visit to an attraction.

The facility was also awarded its first ‘Green Flag’ Award in July. This is the national standard for parks and green spaces in the United Kingdom. It was awarded in association with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful.
