6 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in Inverclyde (Updated 2025)
Ahoy there money-savvy adventurers.
If you're looking to for a fun and free day out, then check out these things to do with the kids in Inverclyde. Whether it's leaning local history at the Watt Institution, or letting off steam at Greenock Cut, there's options here to suit all ages, whatever the weather.
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. 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!

Learn about local history, and see artefacts from around the world, including natural history.
Housed in the old fire station, the volunteers running it are all ex-fire fighters. The kids will love looking at all the old vehicles, and equipment, and learning more about fire fighting.
Beautiful walks, with access to the acquaduct, a designated ancient monument. There are 2 trails to choose from, one is a 12km walk, or a shorter nature trail walk, both start out from the visitor centre where there are also exhibits to explore.
A lovely family park, with a pets corner, playground, sports pitches, walled garden, and an ampitheatre.
