6 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in Falkirk
I'm still adding to this list, so keep checking back, please get in touch if you've got any hidden gems to recommend, or if you have a picture to replace any that I'm missing (ie the places that have words). As a thank you, I'll send a 20% money off voucher to spend in the shop for anything that gets used.
I've tried to make sure that all the details on here are up to date, but please do double check on the websites I've linked to before you travel in case anything has changed. Although I'd love to be able to travel to every place on here, time and practicalities dictate that I've sourced a lot of information from 3rd parties so some information might be incorrect (Please let me know if you spot anything that is so that I can amend it).
Especially important: double check parking costs to avoid any nasty surprises on a day out that was supposed to be cheap, and obviously, be careful if you're visiting places with kids, especially where the terrain is dangerous (ruins, cliffs, beaches, slippy paths etc).
Happy adventuring!

The house has 600 years of amazing history, previous guests include Mary Queen of Scots, Cromwell, and Bonnie Prince Charlie. There's a roman fort play park, lots of grounds to explore, and plenty more to keep kids entertained.

Built by the Romans in 142 AD, the wall stretched right across the country. Check out what's still left at Rough Castle, the second smallest fort along the wall, but the best preserved.
