All aboard for family fun
Take a trip to Whin Park and let the kids have fun in the adventure play zones, feed the ducks and go for a paddle boat ride on the pond. During the summer, the miniature railway is open too, taking you on a mini journey around the park.
Monster fun for little ones
If edutainment is what you’re after, look no further than the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition.

A totally wild day out
Take a walk on the wild side at the Highland Wildlife Park, where you’ll meet a diverse range of animals. From native Scottish wildlife to creatures from around the world. Take a drive through the reserve, then explore the walk around area. And enjoy a programme of daily talks, where you can learn more about the zoo’s residents from the keepers that look after them.
Go on a forest adventure
Enjoy a day out to Landmark Forest Adventure Park. Proof that there is no age restriction on fun! Twist and turn through the trees on a family-friendly rollercoaster, take the plunge on one of three water coasters and walk among the treetops on one of the many adventure trails.
