The team at Argyll Adventures are very professional, the trip we went on was very well organised with safety and fun equally measured. Our hour trek along a lovely path with views out to Loch Fyne was terrific for both adults and kids, the ponies are very well trained calm and friendly. The team encouraged and guided us through out. A really memorable and fun experience.

I visited for the 1st time with my boyfriend who has been here many times and it was just wonderful, huge pool and the warmth of the water just pure heaven ... think we were 2 hrs in the water !! Wonderful sunny day on Sat and live band was a bonus too, I thought it would have been over crowded with children but it wasn’t and although busy it’s large enough not to really notice that. I can’t wait to go back and the cafe is brilliant and lovely staff, very friendly and welcoming ... it’s almost like stepping back in time, I loved it all ... thank you to all that work there, it’s a wee bit of heaven in Stonehaven ????????

Landmark Forest Adventure Park

Landmark Forest Adventure Park was recently voted by TripAdvisor as one of the Top 10 Adventure Parks in the UK! Where else can you twist and turn through the trees on a family friendly roller-coaster, take the plunge down one of three water coasters and even get the chance to walk through an amazing tropical hot-house with hundreds of stunningly beautiful butterflies and exotic flowers!? Landmark is also home to Dinosaur Kingdom; Scotland’s Biggest & Best Dinosaur Experience. Come and find out what it’s like to walk amongst your favourite dinosaurs from Jurassic Park as these incredibly realistic giants move and roar all around you. Did we mention that they are seriously huge!? Our diplodocuses are each over 90 feet long – that’s the length of three London buses! Families have been enjoying Landmark Forest Adventure Park for nearly 50 years and with all these great activities on offer, it’s a must-do for any family in the Cairngorms National Park!

We had a great day in Landmark. Park is big and there`s alot to do. Staff is friendly and professional. Both of our kids ( 9 and 3 years old ) were having loads of fun. Older one enjoyed the most the rope park (tarzan trail) and water coaster slides as well as Bamboozeleum, Lost Labyrinth and Dinosaur Kingdom and our wee daughter loved the Ant City, Safari Rides and Butterfly House. The mrs liked Runaway Timber Train and we`ve done the sky dive. Overall it was a nice day out worth a visit and spend a day together.

Reviewed By xxKatxx2011xx - Cockermouth, United Kingdom

Visited here today, two family’s 4 adults and 4 children in total. I travelled from Cockermouth and would do it all over again!! It’s worth the travel and we will be going back. It’s amazingly clean and the staff are amazing (there are lots of them) but they are busy keeping everyone happy and the place spotless. All the doors are secure and alarmed so little ones can’t get out of the indoor area. So there is a huge indoor play area (soft play) and a cafe which is reasonably priced and tasty. Also a huge area with ride along tractors and little tike cars. Outside there is a park, huge bouncy castle inflatable, go kart track, mini golf, trampolines, sand area and a huge track for family go karts to go right round the farm park. Plus a water fight area. The water boats are £2 and the electric motorbikes that are on a track outside and inside take £1 coins. Water bombs are 50p but apart from that everything is included in the price. We were there all day and left at 4.30 We will be returning I would rather travel the extra 30 mins from Carlisle and go here instead of Walby.

Reviewed By Ninja1911 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Well worth the money! We had an excellent time on the tree top assault course! Excellent instructions who were with us the whole way and really made the trip more enjoyable, the activity lasted nearly two hours and was great fun. Its very safe, impossible for you to become unclipped and if you panic they can get you down... although they will encourage you to keep going. There is something for everyone at Action Glen - gold, crazy gold, quad bikes, horse riding, archery, air riffles etc - worth a visit if you are in Crieff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Bark Park where we met the very talented and creative Denis Carbonaro and of course the brilliant and very funny Haggis!. Such a magical place right on our doorstep. Denis made us feel very welcome, my 2 boys were fascinated and enjoyed hearing all about the creations. Kieran (11yrs) has been inspired and is now keen to make his own wooden staff just like Haggis! Sam (10yrs) loved the welcome we got from Haggis, and feeding the treasure chest. The giant spider and woody mammoth are my favourites. Definitely worth a visit.
