SCHOOL’s out for summer and with most children away from the classroom until August, there has never been a better time to explore the very best family activities that Perthshire has to offer.
Dubbed “the gateway to the Highlands”, Perthshire is conveniently located approximately an hour’s drive from Glasgow and 90 minutes from Edinburgh, making it the perfect place to take the kids on a summertime daytrip.
Situated in the heart of the historic region is the iconic Crieff Hydro Hotel, which has announced a host of exciting summer activities for the whole family to get involved in - whether you’re a staying guest or just visiting for the day.
Richard Leckie from Crieff Hydro Hotel said: “It’s shaping up to be a summer like no other at Crieff Hydro, with more activities than ever before for the whole family to get involved with.
“With everything from dinosaurs to pottery painting, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!”
Get set for a dino-mite time at Action Glen
Calling all adventurers and thrill seekers! Get set to experience a summer like no other as a trio of dinosaurs stomp into Action Glen adventure park on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 July.
Families feeling brave enough to come face to face with dinos Betsy the Triceratops, Loki the Velociraptor and Tiny the T-Rex will have a chance for meet and greets with their new pre-historic friends throughout the day plus two shows at 11:30am and 2:30pm.
What’s more, the dino encounters included in the purchase of the Action Glen’s Adventure or Activity Day Passes.
