If you are looking for some recommendations for things to see and do in the local area, look no further! Here are our top must-dos for families visiting Highland Perthshire.
1. For little adventurers
Situated north of Perth, Active Kids is an adventure park perfect for kids who love to play and, with both indoor and outdoor spaces to explore, the park is open all year round.
In 2023, Active Kids opened a brand-new immersive treehouse-themed indoor playground as well as a new café and toy shop for kids and adults to enjoy while visiting. Outdoors, Active Kids sits in 11 acres of countryside so there’s loads for kids to discover in the outdoor park, from giant bouncing jelly belly pillows to visiting the resident farm animals including rabbits, pigs, alpacas and donkeys.
To find out more about Active Kids, visit their website here.
2. Scenic safaris
For those looking to immerse themselves in nature Highland Safaris and Red Deer Centre is a must. Taking their visitors on a ‘unique journey of discovery, there’s several safaris to choose from including a shorter Forest Safari perfect for families and younger children. Another brilliant activity for all ages is Scotland’s only Gold & Gem Panning Centre. Visitors can pick up a pan and bucket of dirt and get swirling in the Centre’s Panning Flume to search for treasures. The best bit, you get to take whatever you find home with you!
To book a visit go to the Highland Safaris website here.
3. Step into a children’s book in Dunkeld
When people think of Beatrix Potter, they tend to think of the Lake District. What many don’t know is that the classic children’s author used to holiday in Highland Perthshire with her family when she was a child. Her love of the natural world was nurtured here as she had the space to explore. To celebrate Potter’s connection to the place, there’s a wonderful Exhibition and Garden in nearby Dunkeld where kids can step into the world of Peter Rabbit by dressing up as one of the characters as well as an array of creative activities to enjoy.
The Beatrix Potter Exhibition & Garden is open from 10am-4.30pm daily with last entry permitted at 4pm. For more information visit their website here.
4. A choc-a-holic’s dream
For anyone with a sweet tooth, a trip to Iain Burnett, The Highland Chocolatier will bring a sprinkle of chocolate flavoured joy. The signature truffles are to die for and can be picked up in the shop along with an array of other handmade chocolates, all made on site. The place really is the stuff dreams are made of – literally making you feel like a kid in a sweetie shop. The scent of chocolate is in the air and you can see the chocolatier team or, as Roald Dahl would call them, ‘Oompa Loompas’ creating chocolate heaven in their kitchen. And, there’s a lovely café where visitors can indulge in a delicious hot chocolate too.
