Once known as the happiest city in Scotland, there’s a warm welcome and lots of fun things to do in Aberdeen!
This port city has a rich history that is depicted in the Aberdeen Maritime Museum with its unique collection covering shipbuilding, fishing and displays on the North Sea oil and gas industries. Younger children can fill in quiz sheets as they go round, with the museum mascot Granite Jack on hand to guide them through.
Nearby the Stratosphere Science Centre immerses you in the world of physics. Indulge your inner scientist by engaging with the curiosities of the world via hands-on exhibits and live science shows. Children aged 3-5 get their own special mini-scientist workshops where they can learn through play.
If your children are more into the physical than the scientific then Transition Extreme will have something for them! Choose from skateboarding, inline skating, scaling the climbing wall, navigating the high ropes or doing tricks on a BMX. Aberdeen family days out offer high-adrenaline fun for fearless kids full of energy!
Speaking of thrills, Codonas Amusement Park is open May-September and has rides for all ages from family roller coasters to water rides, an assault course and a haunted house! Smaller children will enjoy Smuggler’s Cove, which is an indoor play area.
There are lots more places to visit, such as the Snowsports Centre, Laser Tag, Linx Ice Arena and the Beach Leisure Centre from some indoor family pool fun should you need to escape the rain!
