Best Things To Do & Days Out In Dundee, Dundee and Angus
Set at the mouth of the River Tay, there are lots of things to do in Dundee on a family day out. Time to explore!
Jump on board Discovery Point and learn all about the amazing journey of the RRS Discovery. Imagine cutting through unchartered waters toward Antarctica for the very first time. Feel the biting wind on your face as you walk around the deck; reading about what life was like at sea during this ultimate adventure.
Exploring the unknown is what the Dundee Science Centre is about. Stimulate and investigate all five senses to see what the human body is really capable of. Study the science of evolution and the untapped resources of the human mind, get involved with interactive science displays and find out answers to questions you didn’t know to ask!
A Dundee family day out isn’t just about exercising your mind; get the muscles working over at Avertical World Climbing Centre too. Choose from one of 300 routes up the wall, suitable for ages 5 and up. Or go to Ancrum Outdoor Centre and pick your favourite activity, whether that’s white water rafting for the thrill seekers or have a go at riding a snowboard for the very first time.
There are lots of animals to visit at Camperdown Wildlife Centre, which makes it one of Dundee’s most popular attractions. Save some time to see the 50 species of birds, animals and reptiles including amazing brown bears, wolves and Britain’s rarest mammal, the Pine Marten.
