The Best Things To Do With Kids In Aberdeen

Although Scotland’s third largest city, Aberdeen still manages to feel welcoming and accessible for those visiting with families. No matter the age of your children, there is something to do here, with many of the options being free to access. Here we share six of the best.

1. Aberdeen Maritime Museum

Museum

This excellent — and free to enter — museum tells the remarkable story of Aberdeen’s long association with the sea. Aberdeen is well served with museums, and this is definitely a highlight. The exhibits and displays are well designed for both adults and children, with hands-on exhibits, touch-screens and even a specialist education room. There is a café and a gift shop on site too.

Parks and Gardens

Aberdeen is wonderfully served with open and colourful outdoor spaces, from more formal gardens to huge expanses of grass perfectly suited to playing games or picnicking. Many of these places have fantastic children’s play areas, such as Duthie Park, with its wooden play area, the playground at Seaton Park or the huge park at Hazlehead, with its miniature zoo and play areas. Best of all, these spots provide hours of free fun for all.
