The Hippodrome

This fantastic pre-art deco picture palace was first opened in 1912. For decades it was the place to see the latest Hollywood and British blockbusters. It closed in the 1980’s after a short spell as a bingo hall. Now – thanks to a £2.1 million restoration project – the Hippodrome is open again, lovingly restored to its 1926 heyday. With a great program of blockbusters, art house and classic favorites, there’s bound to be something for everyone.

What does the Hippodrome offer? It's Scotland's only surviving purpose-build cinema and it's been beautifully restored. It offers a wonderful range of films: all the current popular ones that you'd expect a good cinema to show plus Saturday morning screenings for kids, Monday morning screenings with a cuppa, live-streamed National Theatre plays, Singalonga musicals, and even a Silent Film festival. It has such a great atmosphere. The staff are tremendous. You can go with a gang of friends for Singalonga Sound of Music or just trundle down there by yourself - it will always feel comfortable. We're so lucky to have it nearby!

We called up and booked the secret bunker on the same day and the owner was really accomodating despite it being pretty last minute. The room itself was great fun, all clues were all in one room, unlike others I have visited which have spread over a couple of rooms, however, I found this added to the enjoyment rather than detract from it as there was plenty to do and investigate so everyone could get involved. The other members of my team agreed saying they felt much more involved with this game than ones historically. It was the right balance of fun and challenge. We managed to escape though did require a little nugde in the right direction a couple of times. Cannot fault it in any way and will definitely be back to do the other room and joyously there is a further room in development. Loved being able to dress up at the end. Would recommend!

High Recommend ***** We had a great time today here (was our first time), sooo many games to choose from and had two happy 12 year old boys that got to play so many different games including the VR, if only I’d got a picture of there face when I told them Paul had one at the shop! Paul is great with the kids and helps them with any questions about games or how to use any equipment/ controllers/ games???? Great fun, great social gaming place and great for fussy gaming tech kinda kids/teens ???? Hopefully they can open one in Dunfermline ????

Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway

This hidden gem, only 40 minutes drive from Glasgow and Edinburgh, is located in the historic town of Bo’ness. Our friendly staff will welcome you aboard one of our heritage steam or diesel-hauled trains and wish you a pleasant journey. The train travels along the shore of the Firth of Forth with views of the majestic Ochil Hills, before climbing a tree-lined gradient, passing woodland, wild flowers and waterfalls to the country station of Birkhill. Alight here to take a stroll in the ancient woodlands of the Avon Gorge.Beyond Birkhill, the train crosses the River Avon Viaduct to Manuel beside the Edinburgh to Glasgow railway line. Back at Bo’ness, visit the Museum of Scottish Railways, extended in 2012 with the addition of a 16,000 sq. ft. train shed to house the last remaining "Glasgow Blue Train", a recently restored Class 126 Diesel Multiple Unit and several other heritage items of rolling stock. In the main exhibition hall, operate a railway signal and points, climb aboard heritage locomotives and learn about the making, operating and using of Scottish Railways through the ages. Take time to sort some letters in the Post Office Sorting Van and view the classic video "Night Mail". Free parking, Station Buffet and Gift Shop.
