Outdoor Fun

With the completely unexpected Indian summer  westher has prompted this post. We have done our research and composed a list of what we think are the best outdoor activities and days out in West Lothian. So why not have a read and get the kids outside before the bleak winter is upon us.






Almond Valley Heritage Centre 
Set in a beautiful location with lots of room to let the kids run wild. There is lots to do including  the soft play and museum, as well as all the animals to see. 


There is always lots going on including milking, feeding, talks and handling sessions. And after all that there is a lovely tea room to grab a cake and relax. 


Five Sisters Zoo Park
The Five Zoo has a wide variety of animals, mammals, birds and reptiles from all over the world. The Zoo has also boasts an indoor soft play and has recently opened a fantastic outdoor adventure park. 


The zoo is currently fundraising to save two bears and are planning a sponsored walk this Sunday across the Fourth road bridge. Be sure to donate if you visit !


Almondell and Calderwood Country Park
The park situated in Mid Calder offers plenty of fantastic walks along the river and parks. You can even book barbecue facilities. If you don't fancy the barbecue then the visitors centre offers facilities and refreshments. 


Go Ape! Beecraigs
Adventure park up in the trees ! Fantastic active day out for YOU and the kids. You will have a fun filled day tackling zip wires , tricky crossings and tree top high wires.

Linlithgow Treasure Trails 
Solve clues, learn and exercise all in the same activity !!! ids will love solving the mysteries to follow the trail. Once you do you can enter the answer on-line and be entered into the prize draw. Its a great way to get the kids active and thinking whilst exploring he town in the fresh air.

Leave us comments and let us know what you did this weekend or are planning to do !!!
