Eddie Irvine Sports: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Was here to play pickleball, the courts are good and marked just for pickle which is better than having it on an old badminton court. The padel courts look good too. It’s a bit noisy when you’re playing if the go karts are going. But it’s good if you’re playing against someone you don’t really want to talk to.
Fantastic experience: 1st time ever here, thoroughly enjoyed it
Positive experience: Went for a stag party, twelve of us, we choose the team endurance package £60 per person which equalled to 30 minutes in the track each, played against eachother in teams of two. Tracks not big and I guess the reason I didn't have as much fun as I thought I would was cause of how difficult the steering wheels are to turn, like I want to be focused on the race and the fun i'm having with my friends not how much pain my arms are in from just trying to take the turns, went to a gokart track down south a few years back, those karts steering wheels where so easy to turn.
Fantastic experience: best karting track I've been on ever 100/10 I would recommend for kids turning 7-10 years old I love this place.
Fantastic experience: Great driving with tyler
Fantastic experience: Fantastic day, absolutely best fun for all families. Everything 100%
Fantastic experience: Great fun
Fantastic experience: By chance my wife noticed a Premier League game was being shown in the Lounge and I took my 9 year old son in to watch it. Comfy room with big screen and very accommodating staff who showed us where to go. We've since been back a number of times mid week and asked for Champions League or Europa League games to be put on and every time we've been welcomed. Even though it's often just me, my son, his friend and his friends dad. Genuine thanks to all the staff but particular thanks to Steven and (I've rudely forgotten her name) the English lady who have worked most nights we've been and have always gone beyond for us. Not being able to take the wee fellas to a pub but still being able to take them out for games is such a great thing to be able to do. Can't believe more parents aren't taking advantage of the experience.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, staff exceptional and a really enjoyable karting session. First time in many years to Eddie Irvine Sports and not disappointed, good briefing and karts in good shape. Female receptionist fantastic, really willing to talk me through the trophies on display from EI's career. Updated after a second visit, magnificent. Again, female staff member (Sarah) could not have done more or been more pleasant. Karting was superb, albeit I pushed myself to physical limit and was barely able to get out of the kart.... A reflection of my unfit state. Absolutely magnificent, thank you. Added May 2025 - tried the VR F1 racing. My god it's so realistic it's scary. Recommend anyone to give it a go and as difficult as it may seem after 20 minutes you'll have found your feet and loving it. Superb morning once again. Thanks
Positive experience: Eddie Irvine Sports offers a fantastic go-karting experience that's made even better by the wonderful team who work there. The go-kart track itself is brilliantly designed with exciting twists and turns that really let you have a fun and engaging race with your friends. What truly stands out, though, is the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. From the moment you arrive, they make you feel welcome and safe by clearly explaining how everything works. They're always on hand with a smile to offer assistance, whether it's helping you get comfortable in your kart or making sure everyone on the track is following the rules so that everyone has a good time. Their positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile really enhance the whole experience, making Eddie Irvine Sports a place you'll definitely want to visit again for more go-karting action!
Fantastic experience: I can only speak on what I observed from the Karting side. I’ve done Karting from a very young age, all over the UK and even club circuits in Europe and Asia. I attended but did not participate in a stag event. The karts all seem to be well maintained, the circuit is short but twisty (it’s a 30 second lap, for any competent driver). Requires genuine driving skill to safely overtake though, as noted by my friend half way up a barrier. Prices seem ok, location easy to get to, lots of facilities on site etc. One staff member in particular who was looking after the karts and testing them in between sessions has absolute skill - and should be racing 100%. One of the fastest I’ve seen for a while.
Fantastic experience: Amazing
Fantastic experience: Fantastic day of go-karting, 100% recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: We had a fun time.
Positive experience: It's cold and run down not what I expected toilletes are disgusting
Positive experience: Lots of Sport activities, Good vibe
Negative experience: Overpriced and not staffed properly. The staff don't enforce slow drivers letting others pass or those knocking into others, they stand there and do nothing. For the price I paid, won't be back.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed our Christmas fun day here. Karting so much fun. Our boys loved the football pitches to. Hope there is similar days events to today. Some parts of the centre are a little worn, but didn’t stop our fun.
Positive experience: So much potential, a little investment in quality would see this place soar. A local hot spot for indoor football & go karting.
Fantastic experience: Very cool place
Positive experience: Great playing surface for 5 a side and pitches in great condition. Well organised and good pricing. Pity about the petrol fumes when the karts are going however but brilliant facilities for teenagers with table tennis, racing sims, pool tables and panel tennis courts which are getting really popular. Wish they'd sort the car park out with a few tonnes of gravel also!
Fantastic experience: I had booked my son’s birthday on Saturday 19th for 8 children. Starting with Go Karting and then party room. We got stuck in traffic and where running late but I rang ahead and even though they where not obligated to keep my time they managed to wiggle things and so by the time we arrived the lovely Sarah had it all organised and the stress left me. Ewan stepped in as well to help and the rest of our time there was great. The kids had a great time, pizza was excellent and overall a great time had by all. Thank you again for making it enjoyable we really appreciated your understanding.
Fantastic experience: Great family day out lot's to do. very helpful and and friendly staff
Positive experience: We spent an afternoon there doing padel tennis and go karting. Padel tennis is great fun and decent value. Go karting is good value as well. Track is technical with some fast straights. Avoid cart 10
Fantastic experience: The Go karting was absolutely amazing.
Fantastic experience: Great spot, the guys working there make it great fun, always up for a laugh,
Fantastic experience: Went this evening to the roller skating and could not recommend more! All of the girls working there were so lovely and took so much time to teach my little brother the basics which really encouraged him. Perfect for all ages and was a really fun night! Thanks again, will definitely be back :)
Positive experience: Pretty fun though I got thrashed by some kids. Not like Crash Team Racing, no crates at all
Fantastic experience: Great fun
Fantastic experience: I 60. Took my son16 and two buddies to Eddie's. Brill. Professional. Value. Safe. Competitive. A great hour for the boys! We will be back.
Fantastic experience: Great fun
Negative experience: It's very run down and very very cold. The roller ring was very good and the people lovely
Negative experience: Very disappointed with the children's party area. It was very grubby
Fantastic experience: Great for all ages
Fantastic experience: My Nephew and I went this evening for a Christmas treat and it was amazing! We loved it. From the lady that welcomed us,to the 2 lads on track-i can't speak highly enough. The go-karting was brilliant but without the good service,it wouldn't have been half the experience. We will definitely return! Thank you to all.
Fantastic experience: Great facility with something for everyone. The track is lots of fun. Very highly recommended. Paintball was also fun. The staff were helpful and when I had an issue stepped in to resolve it for me, treating me well. Thank you.
Positive experience: When we arrived we checked in via iPads, unfortunately only one of the 3 or 4 available was working but we got there, from there wenwerensent off to the briefing room to await other staff to give us some direction, but after 10 mins no one appeared so we got ourselves changed into the race suits available and waited, it was probably another 5-10 mins before anyone appeared to show up a safety video, once that was out of the way we headed for the track. The actual Go karting was fierce craic, the guys running the karting side were very knowledgeable and approachable. We decided to have a game of pool afterwards, 4 tables available but 3 were out of order, and the one that was working was about as flat a country lane, one yellow ball missing and no cue ball available so I managed to get a white snooker cue ball from reception but due to the weight difference once the white ball was potted (accidentally!) It didn't come back out, 2 coloured balls potted - game over! We had a walk around the facilities there really is so much to do, snooker tables, golf simulator, car racing simulator, 2 paddle tennis courts, a roller hockey arena, 6 5-a-side pitches, a laser style airsoft/laser tag arena and obviously the go karting track.
Positive experience: Best roller disco in Northern Ireland - home of the Bangor Chiefs inline hockey club
Fantastic experience: 18th Birthday, Grand Prix, went down a treat.
Positive experience: Circuit too small & karts slow! Staff are good.
Positive experience: The staff are great, friendly and knowledgeable. The clothes, gloves, suits etc could do with a revamp, a bit holey but overall a fun experience.
Negative experience: (PLEASE DONT GO HERE ITS DISGUSTING) If I could give -5 stars that’s what I’d give my family & I went to the go-karting we had to log ourselves in on iPads at the door before going in without being shown what to do or how to do it when we got in and watched an 20/25min video we where shown the suits to put on this was the point that we where disgusted at the condition of the outfit we had to wear they were soaking in sweat from the people that had been on the track that day the only reason we continued with out day was there was no money back and we had came from lurgan to use this ‘professional’ track after putting the suits on we then had to stand another 10 minutes while the lad explained everything we had just watched on the video we came to the track thinking that it would be our family only on the track but there was 4 young lads and another 2 children so that was 10 altogether (please don’t go here)
Fantastic experience: Good for the price and the carting is the best there's many activities
Positive experience: Need new overalls and new karts
Negative experience: Went to play pool. Found it Run down, looked like floor hadn't been cleaned in days, dirty and cold.
Fantastic experience: I went here yesterday for my 40th birthday. I've been to a few different tracks over the years and this is one of my new favourites. Great track layout and having Eddie's car, race suits, trophys etc is awesome to look at while waiting for others to arrive. I will be coming back on my next trip over to NI for sure.
Fantastic experience: Booked my sons birthday here kids had a ball.. Defoo would recommend
Fantastic experience: Met up with a few friends and they suggested here and OMG it's amazing how it's set up can't wait to go again
Fantastic experience: Thanks to all the staff especially Harris and Cameron. Second time at the karts and it's always great craic.
Positive experience: Me and a friend of mine went a few days ago and it was great, the karting was amazing, there were 5 other people with us and I was really good at racing and my friend, let's just say he crashed into the wall a lot! But we both had equal amounts of fun. The workers there were very professional, and they would keep us safe and ensure that we had fun, we also did the f1 sim but found that it wasn't as fun as it was just the two of us but would be better with 5+ people in total. Overall, this place is great for parties and worth the price.
Fantastic experience: Eddie lrvine sports is the best karking track about ever one come try Eddie lrvine track
Negative experience: I went here for a 30 min karting session. We were sent out with a group of 8-10 year old girls. The pace mismatch led to an extremely dangerous session with multiple red flags. This was not addressed at any point. I went to speak to a manager who was not onsite. The teenager responding to my complaint stated that it is the position of Eddie Irvin karting that it is a public track. Take heed that they absolutely adhere to the disclaimer that motorsports is dangerous.
Fantastic experience: Was there for my daughters birthday with some of her friends who completed the F1 karting experience and they all had a great time.
Fantastic experience: Great place to play multiple sports including indoor football, pool, go karting and arcade style games
Positive experience: The centre could do with a little tlc but overall it does what it says on the tin.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience and the staff were great, will be back again soon
Positive experience: Good place to spend a few hours.
Negative experience: Snooker tables are genuinely awful, they need reclothed desperately would be better playing on a 6 foot table from Argos. Staff aren't helpful either
Positive experience: Great place for go karting and other sports. It's not new but functional.
Fantastic experience: Padel tennis here is super fun!
Fantastic experience: Good fun with family or freinds
Positive experience: Really good crack tho half hour go's in very fast but enjoyed it staff very friendly just feeling the pains now lol age getting me lol would recommend too gave a try
Negative experience: Only went in for a game of pool with my grandson on 20/8/22. Staff member was not helpful and had to leave.
Fantastic experience: Kids always enjoy it, great for a rainy day and not bad either if relying on public transport to get there and back!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome experience. Staff are great, very helpful. Reasonably priced, well laid out and great fun. Sadly no email with race results still 3 days later. (Only downside)
Positive experience: Plenty to do worth a look new skate park . Could do with a lick of paint here and there but worth a visit
Fantastic experience: Had a great time on the Karting track! Staff were chill yet safe, overalls could do with a wash ! But overall fun had by all !!
Fantastic experience: Was here for a kids birthday party. Plenty of space and well catered for
Fantastic experience: Very good staff in the places, friendly very welcoming. Good for party and family events.loads of activities for kids and adults, skate park, all round good day.
Fantastic experience: Great fun for kids and value
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities for football. A great kids party venue.
Fantastic experience: Great place to go for an evening, good fun
Fantastic experience: Well worth a visit.
Positive experience: Would have given 5 stars because cars v fast and circuit brilliant fun to race, but didn't feel it was marshalled adequately. We were all repeatedly deliberately bumped and crashed into barriers by other aggressive drivers and they were never even given a warning flag. My 12 year old left with a sore neck and feeling sick . I think we just got unlucky with who we were on the track with, but it would make me hesitate to rebook unless I was booking a whole large group of folks I knew.
Fantastic experience: First time here, what a fantastic place. Karting was so much fun. Will definitely be back. Noticed on the way out they do a package which includes karting, footpool, footdarts, and a few other things. (Think it was f1 simulator and possibly motorcycle simulator) Was advertised at £30, total time for the various activities was nearly 3 hours. Could spend £30 at other indoor entertainment centres and be out the door in an hour!
Fantastic experience: Perfect for stag dos and other parties. There is a huge array of activities to choose from and the place is absolutely massive. We did go karting which was really good especially for an indoor track and then came back for tag archery the following day which I would highly recommend. We hadn't done tag archery before and were mightily impressed. Do it for two hours as the first hour goes very quick. Great staff overall at Eddie's
Fantastic experience: Great place , bangor very lucky to have this great facility.
Positive experience: Birthday party experience for a group of 13 year old girls. They loved it. Absolutely buzzing after 30min session. Marshals were great and kept things moving safely.
Fantastic experience: Very good park for bmx
Fantastic experience: Had a problem with technical issues during our race which held up about 20 mins of our racing time and they were very busy but they were able to give us an extra half hour to make up the time. We were very well looked after. I forgot my mobile phone and rung them the next day they found it and was returned so also very trustworthy will be back again and again
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the Padel Tennis
Positive experience: Great day out very enjoyable
Positive experience: Thunder park is a great spot just inside.
Fantastic experience: Super place for stags and parties, our group did the grand prix and archery tag and both were extremely well organised and fun. Our group size was 10, all males. Eddie's has loads of parking, very much worth the money and has a sign in iPad so there's a bit of a delay if you have a large group so keep that in mind.
Fantastic experience: Great entertainment facility
Fantastic experience: Great place to play football
Fantastic experience: Under the present situation they're doing a fine job
Fantastic experience: Excellent. Lots to do
Positive experience: Aye decent. VR headset racing, spins ya out randomly. Decentt though
Negative experience: Not good as far as safety goes. You pay to have fun but instead they put kids out on track with adults and said it's ok they are junior cadets so that makes it ok not in my eyes S..T HOLE
Fantastic experience: Amazing club! With a lot of sports to do. Excellent padel courts!!
Fantastic experience: Everytime we go it's amazing.
Fantastic experience: You can do many things here and have plenty of fun
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Fantastic experience: Great for family day
Fantastic experience: The karting was good craic/ would have been better if it was a race not a timed thing
Fantastic experience: Was an amazing experience would definitely go again
Negative experience: Pool tables are of poor quality. And carpet ripped round them etc. Cloths on the tables full of holes and pocket guards hanging off. Would expect tables of better quality
Positive experience: Not just karting. Lots of things to do here now including five-a-side footy, skate park, simulators and more! Friendly staff makes the visit so much better.
Positive experience: Great day out,some parts have neglected and could with a spruce up or taken out all together.Good parts,Karting,skate park,Simulators and football and paddle tennis the rest is poor.
