Dean Castle Country Park is an excellent free day out for all the family. The Country Park boasts a 14th century castle and beautiful woodland walks. The Country Park has completed a project to upgrade its Rural Life Centre, play park and Visitor Centre. The Castle is now closed for restoration and works will begin in June 2018. From June 2018, you will be able to see the museum collections normally on display in Castle at the Dick Institute, Elmbank St, Kilmarnock. Join us for different holiday activities with the Ranger Service over Easter and summer.

Visited today for a stroll through the park, we feel it is very well kept and spotless. Visited the animal centre and loved it! Glorious sunny day and will revisit again, we don't visit enough and its so close to us too. Give it a try you won't be disappointed, enough space so didn't feel crowded, lots of dog walkers which was lovely to see, with the way the world is this was a little piece of normality.

The estate's 13th century Castle had an imaginative makeover in 2007, and has since been named as one of the world’s top 10 examples of street art.

We just ask that they are kept on a lead at all times, to keep our animals and the wildlife safe. Unfortunately the terrain is not suitable for wheelchairs or scooters. The estate features some narrow and winding paths which are not suitable for prams. You may leave your pram with staff on your arrival.

We went to the castle on a whim today and I am SO glad we went - first we arrived at the car park which cost us £5. We went over to the information centre and were greeted by a really friendly staff member who gave us advice on which trail to go on - we decided the history trail! The estate is on such beautiful grounds - particularly the waterfall. I would highly recommend - staff were all friendly and couldn’t help enough! We all went as adults and enjoyed it and the kids would too!
