Dumfries and Galloway Magic Family Experiences

Family fun awaits in the south west of Scotland! Dumfries & Galloway is the perfect place to explore, splash and roam. But there are also plenty of chances to slow down and experience truly magical moments – from finding that special seashell as you stroll along the shoreline to admiring the stars which light up the night sky.

The thrills start at Galloway Activity Centre on Loch Ken, where you can give your adrenaline a boost sailing, kayaking, windsurfing or stand-up paddle boarding. Or take it to the next level with Laggan Outdoor and soar down the hillside on the enormous zipwire – all while admiring the glittering waters of the Solway Firth.

Take a trip back in time to one of the region’s many historic sites, such as Threave Castle – don’t forget to ring the bell! Or take a wander through the beautiful blooming gardens, like Logan Botanic Garden, where you can fill your senses with gorgeous aromas. And don’t forget the beaches – will you take a dip?!

Mabie Farm Park is the place to go for some farm fun, where kids can meet their four-legged friends from donkeys to pot-bellied pigs. Horseriding? No problem – hop onto one of the region’s riding stables and explore the area on horseback. And don’t forget to cool off with some delicious, unusual ice cream flavours – such as Cranachan and whisky, honey & oatmeal – at Cream o’ Galloway. Finally, take your two wheels to one of the 7stanes centres and get ready for an unforgettable mountain bike adventure.

Dumfries & Galloway is full of magical family memories, so what are you waiting for? Go explore and create your own!
