Big thank you Cathryn for her her lovely message and snaps below! Always nice to receive messages like this! ❤ "I just want to say thank you for making Zosia’s 7th birthday yesterday! She loved every single minute of being in Exploris. Right from the amazing friendly welcome at the front desk to all the wonderful sights throughout the centre. The tunnel made the experience magical and we cannot wait to return again as a family ❤️ The Penguins made my day (as well as seeing all my children happy of course) there’s something about watching penguins that makes life just a lil bit brighter. Again thank you for having such a friendly adaptive immersive experience." #explorisni #VisitAND #portaferry #birthdays #undertheseaexperience

It is Friday!!! 🙂 Bob & Wendy are having a wee kiss to celebrate! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 It means it is also time for Fun Fact Friday‼️ Our fun Fact Friday today concerns these Tortoises! 🐢 Tortoises have been around for over 230 million years – longer than lizards, birds, mammals, crocodiles and snakes. In fact, turtles coexisted with dinosaurs and survived the conditions that made dinosaurs extinct! #funfactfriday #exploris #VisitAND #strangfordlough

Mount Stewart, nel Distretto di Ards, in Irlanda del Nord, è stato per 250 anni la casa della famiglia Londonderry. La proprietà venne acquistata nel 1774 da Alexander Stewart, padre di Robert primo marchese di Londonderry e subì ingrandimenti in seguito alla crescente importanza e ricchezza della famiglia, ma fu soprattutto Edith, moglie del settimo marchese, a darle la sua impronta. Charles Londonderry fu un importante uomo politico e la famiglia riceveva spesso ospiti importanti, come Winston Churchill (che era suo cugino). La casa ha oltre 20 stanze da letto! Fu Edith a ridisegnare gli splendidi giardini, che grazie al microclima del luogo, ospitano piante provenienti da tutto il mondo e fioriscono in ogni periodo dell'anno. Questo luogo meraviglioso è ancora abitato dai discendenti della famiglia Londonderry ed è protetto dal National Trust. #MountStewartMoment  #VisitAND #ANDwelcome #LoveAND  #nationaltrustni #TasteANDenjoy #ExperienceAND
