The 39 best things to do with kids in Dundee

A great day out. The kids love it, and there is more than enough to interest adults as well. They have all sorts of medical curiosities upstairs, including interactive digital games. There's a water feature and loads of physical games to play Downstairs. I highly recommend the free mini science shows they put on -- the one we saw had fire and electricity etc. and the crowd loved it. Staff are super friendly in general. There's so much to do that you can't do it all in the 2.5 hour block; you'll want to come back.

Went to the Science Centre in Dundee as me and my girlfriend were looking for something to do and realised this was one of the places we haven’t been to yet. I’ve posted a couple of pictures from our visit but my recommendation is to check it out. You get allotted 2.5 hours time inside (which you think won’t be enough), however, there is plenty of stuff to interact with, read and learn. There is also a little show twice a day from what we gathered. There is 2 floors. Downstairs definitely more kid friendly. Upstairs is a bit more in depth and to do with medical. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Amazing visit.

Great visit while on vacation from Canada! Staff were attentive and we were treated like royalty as local kids were at school. We even got treated to a special 3D printed gift!! The science experiments were a must see! Katie was great! ⚡️

Dundee Science Centre offers an exceptionally engaging experience, enhanced by a welcoming atmosphere and a highly professional, helpful staff. The interactive exhibits provide a stimulating environment for visitors of all ages, making it a truly rewarding day out 😍

The staff are fantastic – friendly, attentive, and really make the visit enjoyable. The exhibits are very well thought out, interactive, and genuinely spark children’s curiosity and imagination. It’s a place where kids can learn through play and discovery, and adults also find it engaging. The whole experience feels carefully crafted and inspiring. On top of that, the entry price is reasonable, making it excellent value for families.

Great fun for the young ones. Educational and fun. Focussed on STEM and really worth a trip

Great little museum with an awesome cafe. The kids wandered around for the entirety of our booking. Sand table with overhead projector was a particular favourite

Great day out for everyone, only £6 for kids and OAPs, £9 for adults and £30 for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids, lots of lovely animals to see, beautiful trees and woodland walks too with picnic areas, there's also a nice wee cafe and nice clean toilets. We spent about 4 hours here and weren't bored once. Definitely coming back to explore more of the woodland walks, I would recommend this park to families and adults alike.

Absolutely fantastic 1st visit as im on my dundee 11 days holiday, i got there 10.15 ish and didn't leave til 3.30 wanted to experience all the animals, truly amazing place well done to the whole team for making this a memorable time, the animals well cared for,.good presentation and informative boards to read, the admission fee brilliant, the facilities toilets excellent and the cafe excellent food a very friendly team, I explored everything and everywhere x at the end of my visit , the 3 brown bears came out , brian and pebbles the otters came out, oh what a joy made so many memories , all the animals made my day absolutely fantastic highly recommend cheers nicki t from Nottinghamshire

Nice the little walk around with the family seeing all the animals and finished off with going to the park. It seems slightly run down and the food in the cafe wasn’t the best but filled the belly. Had a good chat with the woman feeding the otters who answered all of the kids questions.

The tickets were cheaper on the door than buying online. As to be expected some animals were hiding away. Some of the enclosures are pretty overgrown which also means you can’t see as much as you might like to. The bears look really healthy and happy. The cafe was extortionate. The food was acceptable but a simple sandwich was over £7, baked potato over £10. Overall all a good little park, plenty of animals to see. I’d probably take a picnic if I visited again!

Still a great wildlife park well worth a visit. Plenty of animals to see. Good price and no rush just take your time and enjoy your day.

Such a lovely little wildlife park. Clean and tidy centre. Such a good price for a family of 5. Will definitely be back again.

Although this place is looking a little tired now, it's animals are obviously really well cared for. It's a great place to take the kids especially as it's surrounded by a stunning country park.

An extraordinary modernist structure, both without and within. The unusual shape limits the amount of gallery space but the collections are still interesting. CRM’s oak room is an absolute jewel of interior design and is a must-visit attraction.

V&A Museum Dundee is an absolutely stunning building with unique modern architecture that beautifully stands by the River Tay. Inside, it’s very clean, well organised, and offers a great mix of exhibitions about design, art, and culture. The café is lovely with a relaxing atmosphere and good food options, perfect for a short break during your visit. Staff are very friendly, helpful, and always willing to guide visitors. Overall, a wonderful place to explore and enjoy — definitely worth visiting when in Dundee!

Stunning museum- a true treasure. The architecture and design inside and out are truly iconic. Really enjoyed the Scottish Design and Palestinian Embroidery exhibits. What a treat to see one of Charles Rennie Macintosh’s tea rooms in its entirety! Lovely knowledgeable staff- at entrance and used exhibits - friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.

V&A Dundee is truly a design museum for all ages. We were so impressed with the dedicated free family resources—from the activity sheets and books to the drop-in creative zones. My children had an absolutely amazing experience with the hands-on drawing and arts activities provided. It's clear the V&A makes creativity integral to the whole visit, making it an inspiring and comfortable place for kids to learn and explore design through their own artwork!

We went in on 12th Oct in the morning and were greeted by friendly staff who gave me a brief description of the museum. Then we heard the announcement that there will be a guided tour at 11am so we just joined. The staff did an excellent job showing us around the exterior and the Scottish museum as well. We got to learn the design ideas and some of the behind the scene stories while it came to build the building. We had a great time. I think the staff is called Isabella or Elizabeth, sorry my bad with the names but she was excellent and very informative. It is a must visit place if you like design and architecture. I hope they will get more collections and exhibitions to fill in the space in the future.

The V&A was completely different super modern and right by the water, which already sets the vibe. The building looks mad from the outside, like it’s floating or something. Inside, everything felt sleek and design-focused, but still approachable. The exhibitions were creative and interactive in a way that didn’t feel too "museum-y" if that makes sense. It's one of those places that makes you see everyday stuff in a new way. Would go back, especially if there’s a new exhibition on.

Garden and Palestinian embroidery exhibition fantastic and stimulating. Good cafe and resources. Permanent exhibition of Scottish design seems poorly curated and haphazardly displayed

Very well presented history of Jute industry, not over whelming and so some good animated displays Volunteers very helpful. Bolton and Watt engine runs from time to time, although driven by electric motor. Mostly accesible with small mobility scooter, although given the age cobbles are to expected. Very pleasant cafe. 20 minute walk to Vand A or Discovery centre.

Greeted with an informative welcome from a volunteer explaining the history of the building and why Verdant was the chosen name (sited on what was previously green fields). This museum was well laid out, easy to navigate, and gave great insights into the jute making history of India & Dundee. The influence of the former whaling industry was an eye opener. This was also a good insight to the social history of Dundee. A couple of hours very well spent.

I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours in the museum, and in truth it could have easily been longer. The exhibition is both fascinating and shocking at the same time when you learn about the life and hardships in the jute industry. Average life expectancy for men working in the jute industry was just 33 years. Well laid out spacious exhibition, lovely cafe for refreshments and light bites, and friendly staff to round off the visit. Very clean and well equipped toilets. A highly recommended opportunity to learn about the jute industry and its role in the history of Dundee.

What an amazing place I used my ticket dual pass from RRS Discovery visited this fantastic museum today a lovely volunteer Alison very friendly and gave a starting tour x then I went to explore wow it is brilliant totally speechless all displays history i learnt so much then Dennis his knowledge of machinery and talking about his work there was magical he was so passionate and grateful to see some of the machinery at work then to the history section going through to present day what a joy . The gift shop , toilets and the food area ( highly recommend the all day breakfast bap and drink) seriously tasty staff all so friendly x I didn't leave til 2 45pm , I didn't drive to the museum as I walked up from the riverside car parks x thanks to all the team for a fantastic day cheers nicki t

Very good museum! A gentleman in a period costume started our tour in the first room, the followed by a good demonstrations by a former mill worker and a volunteer guide. Amazing to see the old machines still working! I would have bought some jute souvenirs (rather than bags) if there were any! The cafe was really nice, too! The tickets let you have an all-year entry!

Fantastically presented museum with enjoyable exhibits and a well thought out range of information. The museum has a good balance of exploring the manufacturing processes involved in Jute products, with the evolution of the industry and the lives of those who worked in it. They do a very good job of highlighting the impact of this industry in both Dundee and in India where Jute originates. A very tasteful exploration of both cultures. There are many interactive elements to the museum too, which make it a really approachable and fun place for all ages. Ticket is also valid for a full year which is nice.

A great place to visit if you're in Dundee. We bought a joint ticket with Discovery Point access, which made it good value too. It's a good couple of hours to get round, and it's really interesting learning about the rise and fall of their jute industry. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, and it was great to see the machines running and follow the process through.

An interesting insight into Dundee and it's history. There are other exhibits but it was the reflections on local history that drew my attention the most. Housed in a remarkable building which deserves to house such an important public display. Contrasts but complements the V&A. Dundee is well represented on the cultural map.

This is a wonderful place to visit. Best part being that it's completely free! It's so interesting to see all the cool things they've got on display. Modern and old. I would 100% recommend that anyone visiting/new to dundee, come and give this a visit! P.s. there's way more exhibits and cool stuff than what Ive shown!

​I recently visited The McManus and it truly is a five-star experience! I was immediately impressed by the magnificent Victorian building itself, but the collections inside are the real treasure. I loved browsing the beautiful Scottish artwork and felt a real sense of proud history diving into the exhibits on Dundee's past. From the ancient Pictish finds to the city's industrial stories, it’s a stunning, informative, and completely free experience that I highly recommend to everyone.

A fascinating place that beautifully tells the story of Dundee! The McManus Art Gallery & Museum is an excellent mix of history and modern heritage, showing how the city has grown and changed over time. The exhibitions are well presented and easy to follow, giving great insight into Dundee’s culture, industry, and people. The building itself is stunning — very clean, well maintained, and full of character. The staff are friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions. There’s also a lovely café inside serving good food and drinks, perfect for a relaxing break during your visit. Overall, a must-visit spot in Dundee for anyone interested in art, history, and local culture!

A hidden find for us as we were in town visiting our daughter and seeing her new apartment. Happened to run into the McManus which was nearby and decided to take a look. We were pleasantly surprised. Had a lot of history of Dundee, the Jacobite uprising, and Scotland in general. People working there were very friendly and helpful. Worth a look if you're in the area.

A beautiful building that looks like a princess should be descending the sweeping staircase outside! Like many buildings in Dundee, you really need to stop, walk around, look up and appreciate it from the outside. There are some flowerbeds outside and also some benches to sit and relax on. Inside over several floors are a museum and art gallery complete with a small gift shop and cafe downstairs on the ground floor. The "Dundee Whale" ie the skeleton of a large whale is one of the most well known exhibits, and a nod to Dundee's historic connections to whaling in the 18th and 19th century. Whaling was directly linked to the jute industry in Dundee for which Dundee is so well known. There are lots of beautiful paintings, art exhibits and a large amount of Dundee history in this lovely building. Pictish stones too. You can easily spend a couple of hours in here, and it is worth doing so. Enjoy.

visited recently, appreciate everyone who take care of such a great exhibition of everything displayed there. The entrance is totally free which make it more interesting, the building is so impressive and magnificent. The display of natural history, art and the history of Dundee is represented in best way

Brilliant! Unusual museum within the ship itself. Interesting artefacts and fun to go down the decks where each ceiling gets progressively lower. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Sadly not suitable for those with limited mobility. Otherwise, a great find. Recommend

HMS Unicorn is one of the most fascinating and rewarding heritage attractions I have ever visited. There is a really good hands-on sense of engagement for visitors. You are encouraged to lay in a hammock and to sit in the mess deck. As an historic ship, access is far from universal but it is incredibly rewarding.

It’s quite an experience getting to see and explore a ship of this age, in some ways quite surreal. It’s so interesting learning about the different construction techniques and the amount of work that goes into building these ships. You get a real sense of perspective walking around the different areas of the ship as you learn about it. The staff are very knowledgeable and passionate and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the ship or the lives of those who worked and trained aboard. Definitely a place to visit!

It was a really nice experience. I would definitely recommend it. Especially the young lady at the entrance was very kind, knowledgeable and interested. I especially thank her. Also, the sir helped with the car parking. Thanks to him too.

We all really enjoyed it here. Kids loved the treasure and picture hunt Very well kept. Loafs of information

Wow what an amazing day x storm Amy didn't stop me x HMS unicorn what a place , the volunteers so friendly and helpful, history in abundance gosh so much to explore 4 floors and to get so close to everything and learn so much ,the display boards and exhibitions and films outstanding, quite moving to be inside such a magnificent ship well done to everyone who are preserving and taking care of her x cheers nicki t

We had a great walk round on doors open day. Our kids loved it!

A nice place to visit, but not somewhere to stay for a long time. Car park was very busy, we were lucky to get a space. Discovery Point itself was fairly quiet, especially considering visiting on a Sunday.

Both an historic ship and an excellent museum, RSS Discovery point is a great gateway into history. There is active repair and restoration underway aboard the ship at the mo, which enhances the experience. The sound of hammering and works by the shipwrights make you experience what it was like when the ship was being built and prepared over a century ago.

A captivating dive into Dundee’s maritime heritage Discovery Point and the RRS Discovery offer a fantastic experience for anyone interested in history, exploration, or maritime life. The museum is well laid out, starting with interactive galleries that take you through the story of the RRS Discovery – from its construction in Dundee to its legendary Antarctic expedition with Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton. The displays are informative, engaging, and full of interesting artifacts, photographs, and videos that really bring the story to life. The highlight, of course, is stepping aboard the RRS Discovery itself. It’s incredibly well-preserved, and you get to walk through the actual ship – from the engine room to the officers’ quarters and the upper deck. It gives a real sense of what life would have been like on board over 100 years ago during extreme polar conditions. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the hands-on exhibits and the ability to explore freely. Another great feature is the Discovery Dome, which includes an immersive cinematic experience and often showcases large-scale art installations like Luke Jerram’s suspended globe, Gaia. It’s visually stunning and adds a modern, creative touch to the historical experience. The facilities are clean and accessible, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There’s also a café and gift shop on site, and the location is ideal—right by the waterfront and next to the V&A Dundee and Slessor Gardens. It’s easy to make a full day out of the visit. Tickets are reasonably priced, with discounts for families and concession holders. It’s also worth noting that you can buy a combined ticket with Verdant Works if you’re interested in Dundee’s industrial heritage. In short, Discovery Point is a brilliant mix of education and adventure, with something for all ages. Whether you’re local or visiting Dundee for the first time, it’s a must-see attraction that beautifully tells the story of courage, science, and exploration.

Discovery Point and RRS Discovery This museum offers an extraordinarily detailed look into the history of the research ship RRS Discovery. With numerous original artifacts from the ship and its crew, you can really relive the story (without having to freeze in Antarctica, thankfully). Plenty of text and video displays keep the information flowing, covering everything from seafaring and politics to technology, biology, and modern history. The tour of the ship itself is seriously impressive—it’s hard to believe the journeys this vessel and its crew actually survived. Fun fact: your ticket automatically doubles as a 1-year pass. So if you really love ships, you can come back again (and again). And yes, of course there’s a souvenir shop—because what’s a museum without one?

Highly recommend had a wonderful day today at Discover point and RRS Discovery purchased ticket pass for also Verdant works museum really good price from 10.30 til 4pm ,on my dundee Scotland holiday absolutely fantastic the exhibition, displays, all the videos you wish to listen to, very moving , history all the way to the present ,the finale was to experience the RRS Discovery what a beautiful she is , high praise the team who are doing g work to preserve her to be able to go inside and upstairs was a privilege, the toilet facilities very clean and the gift shop i had some fun spending x the team all very friendly x thanks for an amazing visit cheers nicki t car park i do recommend City Quay just a 5 minute walk x

one of best visitors attraction, we the museum was really interesting, is gem for the persons who love to explore the history. There are so many different things to explore are available, we are so happy that we able to sit on ship it was great experience, the museum had great information on Dundee maritime history, we thought we only going to visit the ship but there's many and more things which we never expected LOL

Amazing experience,great exhibits,tons of info and superb boat

Love this place and glad to see it is remaining open. Big thanks to the people who voluntarily work and set up here. I do have feedback however; it might be good to mark if equipment is set up for the public in some way, as multiple times people stood around as if to form a queue whilst we were setting up our own scope. Could help in guiding people around. Thanks!

Wow, what a great place. Can really only be visited at night time when it’s dark and if there are clear skies. Keep in mind that it’s not open all year round, and it’s run by volunteers and funded by donations. The drive up to the observatory is tricky, it’s on narrow paths, dimly lit and tight if trying to pass other vehicles, but there is parking for around 10 cars. You'll probably spend around 30 minutes to an hour here. The staff are always willing to talk about the exhibts and answer questions.

Lovely staff very informative and attentive. We got to see the moon, 7sisters and orion constellations through the telescops soo incredible and pretty. Its free to visit and you can go upstairs and get the best bits.

Free view point of the city. The telescope part was closed, but nice place. The park itself is also great.

Wasn't a whole lot going on but it was perfect in its own little way, entry is free and it will now be one of my cherished memories

We treked there at 8:30pm at night, it was really dark but nothing some flashlights from our phones couldn't handle! The staff were extremely kind and helpful. They showed us around, informed us about the events and interesting things they had in the Observatory, including an asteroid piece that landed near Dundee! The Observatory wasn't open for sky viewing that night but the balcony was open and the staff lended us some binoculars to view the sky. Very kind and friendly service! Would definitely go back again!

A huge thank you to the staff for their kindness and helpfulness. We took 2 toddlers to look at the planets tonight but I think half of Dundee had the same idea. The queues were crazy and although it wasn’t much fun waiting to get in with the kids it was definitely helped by the kindness of the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, the play stuff for the kids and the views of Mars and Jupiter. The staff went over and above to accommodate the huge queues tonight and really helped me out of a thirsty toddler situation. Can’t thank them enough.

First walk up the Law in 3 years. Weather not brilliant, but the views excellent as always. The climb is well worth it.

30 min walk from downtown Dundee. It's a nice spot to get a nice view of the city's skyline. There's a public restroom close by.

Well worth going to the top, we drove up there are a small amount of parking bays. 360' view and we went at dusk and saw slight sunset which was beautiful.

It's a must visit place in Dundee. Yoh got the whole city view. Amazing place. It's not that hard to go to the top. Loved the view.

Beautiful area great for walking, running or cycling. Views are supreme. Quite steep in places would be awkward for pushchairs etc. Small amount of parking at the top. Plenty of seats and picnic tables to sit at. Toilets bu the bus turning bit on the road up. Well worth a visit if you are in the area

Great view on Dundee.

Lovely views from the top of law Hill

Fantastic service. A cocktail we had previously enjoyed was no longer on the menu, however our server made sure we could get the one we liked. Breakfast was very tasty and the coffee's and cakes perfect to top of a lovely morning. This is an excellent place to come during the day. Many thanks

We had a brilliant time going to the cinema here! What a lovely space. Friendly and welcoming staff, and we really appreciated that we could take refreshments (cups of tea!) into the cinema with us. We didn't really use the café, but it looked very nice, and the shop is a delight - so many lovely gifts! Would recommend very highly.

The gallery hosts a fantastic range of contemporary exhibitions, always fresh and thought-provoking. The staff are friendly and ready to offer recommendations.The space itself is modern, welcoming, and perfect for art lovers of all kinds. Plus, the café is a great spot to relax with a coffee and take in the creative atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Expensive but lovely wine and a lovely lunch menu. Id recommend the truffle hash brown bites and a glass of Beronia Rueda Verdejo

Very friendly stuff on the entrance. Need to come back one day as part of it was renovated but still worth it to visit...

We went to the cinema and had a coffee prior to going in to see the film. Everyone was very helpful and they also accept CEA cards if you are disabled. We had intended to have a meal but the evening menu had very little variety and nothing that we would have ordered. The lunch time menu seemed to have more variety and looked very tasty. Lesson learned eat before the cinema.

Had a lovely lunch here today. We thought the waitress had made a mistake and brought us the full haddock, not the half portion we ordered. But no, this IS the half portion! Such good value and taste. Quick service and clean surroundings.

I would love to give this beautiful castle 5 stars, but it just needs a little touching up. Used to be a military castle, but now houses many exhibitions over 4 floors. The information provided was detailed and interesting with a focus on Broughty Ferry and it's delightful history. Children are able to move about easily in the grounds, and there are interactive things for them to do. Thoroughly recommend a visit!!!

This is a four storey castle keep with history of defensive role in many conflicts. Toilets available and a gift shop. Helpful staff and a children's activity area on one level. Circular staircases. Close to beach for paddle. Free car park close. Town short walk away. Lost one star for no bookmark for sale.

Really nice castle with a little bit of history on each floor and a gallery. The highlight is definitely the views up and down the Tay from the elevated vantage point of the castle grounds. It's a fortified castle rather than a family pile so don't expect grand dining rooms or anything like that but still well worth a visit. Stars are narrow and steep so be prepared and there's no other way up or down. It's an old castle and that's just how it was built. I've added a pic of the stairs to let you see. I visited on a weekday during school holidays and while the castle wasn't busy Broughty Ferry is a bit of a destination for tourists and people coming out of the city to enjoy it beach so parking is limited when it's sunny. I parked a couple of streets away which due to the way the Ferry is layed out was only a couple of minutes of a walk to get to the castle. Oh and it's free!

Great little Museum, free but accept donations. Free street parking nearby. Close to a sandy beach and small harbour.

Excellent venue to visit with impressive views. Beware the steps up the tower, you will get a workout. Really worth a visit

Lovely well kept castle with stunning views of the harbour and beach. Free admission and parking close by.

This is a fantastic museum over approximately 4 floors. The castle is stunning and has a viewing platform with stunning scenes of surrounding areas. Gift shop also. This is one of the best castles I have visited ❤️

First time swimming here and definitely won’t be our last! The swimming pool has a variety of different areas you can go to and is huge in size! You are given a colour when you enter to change at and when it’s called it’s your time to leave (ideal when you’ve got kids as they can’t argue they don’t want to leave) Kids pool is really good, nothing like that where we live! Only let down was there a few showers not working and same with the hair dryers but that’s not the reason you go to the pool so can’t really complain!

This review is for the gym only. Only one bench for dumbells. Only one set of dumbbells for each weight. No cable machines for back. Only 2 spots for stretching. Very limited if you want a good workout. Go somewhere else. Only saw cold showers. The worse Leisure center I have been too.

What a pool! Very popular and well run. Great for a family especially brave children who love wave machines and flumes. My four year old was so pleased to be able to do the flume and loved it!

Great pool for the kids with the dive boards ,waves ,and flumes plenty to keep adults and kids occupied . Downside was the Cafe is closed and no vending machines either . The cafe was always busy so I do not understand the closure

Really good fun. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Kids pool was enjoyable for my son. The flumes are fantastic. Clean environment. Will go back.

Decent sized swimming pool good few flumes great for kids the family thoroughly enjoyed it here! We have been quite a few times! Would definitely recommend to families good prices for entry but the flats swimming gear etc is well over priced!

Great pool. Was my first time going there and went with my wife, our 3 year old daughter, some family and our friends. Was 10 of us that went. Little kids pool was great and shallow for little ones and the other part of the pool with the lazy river was good. The siren for the wave machine going on, seemed a bit too much and scared my daughter when it went off. I get why they need it and for the older kids its great but I don't fully understand why it need to be soo loud, specially when the kids pool is right next to it and the end of the flumes is there too. Just a short siren niose with a warning would surely be enough to let people know the wave machine is about to be turned on. The fumes were great and my nephew had a blast on the, although there was no lifeguard or sign at the bottom of the stairs telling people that they can't wear their glasses on the fume nor have them in there pocket, my friend went all the way up the stairs and then was told he can't wear his glasses and had to leave them at the top, so he had to go down the fume then walk up all the stairs to get his glasses to walk all the way back down the stairs again. It is a great pool for family's to go too and kids to play and have fun. The diving pool looked good and the lanes that they had out away for the kids and play pool is good from what my parents said. The changing village was a bit confusing for a first time goer, as told when we first went in that we had to get change in our colour code area but then when we got out and were looking for a family cubicle in our colour code area but there wasn't one, I asked if we were allowed to go to a different colour area to get changed as there was a free family cubicle and was told that you allow to get changed wherever you like, you just have to use the the lockers in the colour youve been given. So that was a bit confusing that two different people as telling people to different things. We would go back but probably not until my daughter is a bit older and can fully enjoy everything this pool has to offer.

Attended here on a Saturday evening for an ice hockey match. The rink was clean and looked well kept. The cafe wasn't open which was disappointing for us away fans.

First time visitor today. We had loads of fun. Scottish cup final night 🤩 Thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't comment on any of the food drink ir facilities as we didn't use anything

Very nice place if you want to skate and watch ice hockey

This is good place to learn ice skating, here you can hire skates or you can use your own skates.

Dundee Ice arena is a place where you can come for leisure scating or to relax and watch family and friends scate. It located at camperdown not too far from the kingsway shopping arena. Other business in the same compound with the dundee scating place are Cine cinemas, Nandos, KFC, Mac Donald's, and Premier Inn Hotel. Tickets are from £5 and above you can also rent scating shoes from £2 and above. It has a seating capacity of over 1,500 seats. There are drinks and chocolates sold on site. Good music is played while people scate. You can check their website for opening and closing times because it varies on different days. There is free parking available within the complex. It's a great place for family and friends to hangout.

Found it very dark and couldn’t hear the speaker when talking about the ice hockey and being stuck behind the goals can hardly see anything and couldn’t see the score boards

As a couple of novice skaters, we were both a little nervous. But we had a good experience for a reasonable price. We hired skates, which were in good condition, and got on to the ice with very little fuss. We had enough space to get a bit of a hang of things and made some progress in our time there. It was a Tuesday so we only had end ice to skate on, which meant it was quiet and I'd highly recommend that day for beginners. If you want to skate get on down here, you'll have a good time.

In a word – an experience. You first go through an impressively designed museum where you learn about the ship, its mission, and much more. However, the real highlight is undoubtedly the ship itself. You can explore it on your own. Due to ongoing restoration, only a smaller part is accessible, but it was still fantastic and I definitely recommend seeing it.

This is a fantastic museum dedicated to an antarctic expedition, very well done with many displays and interactive sections for younger people, we spent more time than we thought exploring the ship, which has limited access at present due to much needed restoration.

Highly recommend had a fantastic day so much history purchased dual pass to also visit Verdant works museum which ive done, so much history information displays video excellent staff very friendly, toilets excellent, RRS Discovery wow to be able to see touch and be aboard this ship was an honour well.done to the team who are doing so much work to help preserve for many more years x had a fantastic time, cheers nicki t

Amazing original ship from the golden year's of antarctic exploration, much of the ship is currently being refurbished or renovated I think but what you can see is incredible. Also attached is a very good and very informative museum all about antarctic exploration and whaling, spent over 2 hours between the two of these and felt like I could have probably stayed longer

Visited as part of the museum tour and it is a fantastic step back in time to an adventure in extremely harsh conditions , the ship is lying in a drydock and can be photographed from outside the museum but only by taking the tour can you venture onto the deck and explore below through the wardrooms , storage areas and engine rooms of an iconic ship.

Didn't have time to do the full tour,so quick pop into the shop which I thought was excellent,plus a quick chance to see Discovery.Didnt realise how small it was

We explore this museum and toured the ship in July of this year. What a find! It was just excellent. It was brilliant to see the ship and all the restorative efforts being invested in it. Amazing to think that this wooden vessel travelled all that way and back in such perilous conditions. The only thing I wish they had were stickers in the gift shop!

Great welcome and introduction to the museum by the staff. Interesting mixture of vehicles and lovely cars you can sit in. Story of the Tay rail disaster and a poignant list of all who lost their lives. Good video displays and an interactive children's corner. We spent 1 and a half hours there.

Nice little transport museum hidden away in Dundee. It is quite small but they do have a lot of interesting exhibits. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. You can sit in some of the vintage cars too which I feel is pretty rare these days in museums. They're eventually moving to a new bigger premises in the old Maryfield tram depot off forfar road so excited to see what they make of it!

A cracking little museum, showing the history of Dundee's transport links. A few of the displays are marked with a proactive * STAR so you can sit in the cars marked or climb aboard the bus or fire engine, Great for kids of all ages! A play area is good for younger ones to be entertained while others explore further. Go along and reminisce or learn something new that you didn't know...

Went here for a car meet. Parking was ok, just busier than usual due to the event. It's the end of October so it was getting dark pretty early and there was no lighting in the overflow carpark and minimal lighting in the carpark out front. The staff member who was working was very polite and helpful serving hot drinks and snacks. The museum was clean and tidy.

Fantastic time at the museum on Sunday. Lots for the kids to see and do, including a racing game while sitting in a car. Well worth a visit!

Been a while since we last visited , very well laid out of all different transport through the ages and reevent to local area. Love the star vehicles your allowed to get in and very child friendly with lots of areas and buttons for them to try out . Dog friendly and a cafe added bonuses.

Good exhibits , good location , friendly staff , good snacks , the monthly coffee and cars nights are very good throughout summer . Can't wait till they move ro purpose built venue at the Old Dundee Tram depot .

Took the dog for a walk round the park on this occasion. It's a large park with plenty of space and just across the road from Templeton woods where you'll find other walks. Sad to see the council golf course has gone, replaced but meadow. There is a nice wee zoo on site and a large playback for younger children.

CamperTown Country Park is a really great spot for barbecues and family time. We’ve been there many times and always enjoyed the space and calm atmosphere. It’s nice that you can even drive inside the park — makes it easy to bring everything you need. The place feels peaceful and safe. Last time we went, it was really refreshing to sit and have a barbecue with family. There’s plenty of room, and it’s just a lovely place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Really enjoyed the country park with the kids. Lots to do for my child with a disability and finally we did make it on boxing day which surprisingly was not at all busy. Most of the time the play parks can get very busy. Also there are electric car chargers in the parking lot if you do visit. Great addition.

Went with the girlfriend and her daughter, if the suns out it's a great way to spend the day or afternoon. Lots for kids to do, take some camping chairs, maybe even a cooler of cold colas.

What a treasure. Fantastic trees and grounds. Love it!

This has to be one of the best play grounds in Scotland that I have ever come across. I was already good and then I was further extended a couple of years ago. There are plenty of parking and also toilet facilties available. You will also find plenty of seating in various forms. The setting within the Camperdown Park is also pretty incredible and to just wander through and take in. Top marks and a must visit if you're in Dundee and have young and even toddlers. We were there at 8.30am and it was getting cleaned and tidied up by the council cleaning which was good to see. All the activities the kids went on, 3 yr and 6 yr old was functioning perfectly. Great way to spend a few hours 👍

This is the best play park I've been to in Scotland,catering for all ages.You could spend a whole day watching their imaginations run free. 4 different play areas inc. Zip wires

Beautiful gardens. Deceptively large: perhaps more than you could cover in one day. Lots of naturalised and wildlife friendly planting rather than regimented rows. Staff helpful and genuinely friendly. Take a picnic if the weather is fine!

Beautiful tranquil spot west of the city centre next to airport (which sounds like a contradiction but airport not busy).great for a walk in the grounds and in the hot house. Worth a visit. ATM £5/ adult £4.50 concession.

Really nice and peaceful. Only £5 for entry. Nice walks. Lots of nice trees to look at. Has a greenhouse. Nice Botanic Garden worth a visit. They do not have a cafe. If you stay in Dundee a yearly membership would be good as its a nice quiet place for a walk and lots of benches to sit at.

Well worth a visit. No cafe this year up to now unfortunately. The grounds are a joy. Could have spent hours there.

Highly recommend this amazing place a hidden gem peaceful plenty of places to sit , excellent car park , toilets facilities (cafe was closed but there was a sign ) had my lunch with me , staff very friendly I could go back and forth to my car , stayed 4 and a half hours, so much to see and do ,completely overwhelmed by its beauty, plenty of information around, walks glorious good level paths as well as going through grass etc , the greenhouse outstanding and the tropical greenhouse with a friendly Robin checking me out , outstanding a true piece of dundee , well done to everyone who has made this , be it the past present and future , outstanding ps loved the bench and watched some planes leaving dundee airport thankyou for a lovely day guys cheers nicki t

Beautiful gardens. We especially liked the glass house. It's a shame that the coffee shop has closed. Luckily we brought a picnic. Easy to get to on the bus from the city centre.

I just love visiting the Botanic Gardens, it's always different. Mid Oct. and still t-shirt weather....fabulous! The colours, the varieties of trees, plants, wildlife and flowers make this place special.

Visited to see Hen Night Horror. Tickets were £28 very good seats, not far from the stage. Good lighting and sound. All the actors were very good, and played their parts very well, comedy, singing, thoroughly njoyed it. Njoyed a drink before hand, which we were able to take to our seats, also had an ice cream at the interval. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Nice bar area, Will return. :)

What a lovely theatre. The building works very well and the staff are so helpful and welcoming

From the instant you book to the entire performance your visit at the Rep is a wonderful experience. I feel like it’s MY theatre every single visit !

Great wee theatre. Make It Happen was thought provoking and entertaining. Great cast. Some well kent Scottish actors including Eileen McCallum, who wasn’t listed on the programme.

Lovely little theatre in the centre of Dundee. Seats reasonably comfortable. Prices not excessive.

Wonderful small theatre with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and good food reasonably priced.

Great venue! Very inimate feel to the show as the seat are stacked quite close to the stage. Seats are quite small though, if youve a big bum it mught be a but of a squeeze. We saw a Christmas Carol, it was fantastic.

A nice place. An open grass space is most of it, the other part is a series of little gardens. The gardens are pleasant, we were there in April so I suspect the blooms would be greater in the high summer. Some of the gardens are inspired by other parts of the world, though to be honest you wouldn't know that for most of them without reading the signs. The American one in particular, apparently that country is just grass?!! That aside they are nice spaces and on a good day a fine place to relax for a while. Dundee is certainly better for this space.

Good venue. Organisation and restrictions prevented us from going to the whole day. No entry allowed. No seats? I can't stand for hours at a time and I am sure others were the same so the venu lost out. Dundee is a super city and the whole place was a buzz with the people like me who had to restrict the time spent standing during the gig. Thousands of pounds spent outside slessor gardens, not so much inside. I feel sorry for the vendors.

It’s perfect for a quiet walk, a lunch break, or just sitting in the sun. It’s close to the V&A and the train station, so easy to get to. Sometimes it feels a bit empty when there’s no event, but during concerts or festivals, it comes alive. Clean, well-kept, and great for quick breathers in the city.

Amazing event for music concerts. Ocean Colour Scene and Human League were standout and as good as 30+ years ago 😀

I was at the well run slessorgardens festival last weekend,great event in lovely surroundings.

Great place for an sit and watch nature. Plenty of space for a picnic and a few places to hide with benches if it's windy. Nice ice cream and handy for the ember bus stops out of town

Its just a big bit of grass with colour changing lights at night. Nice garden areas. Seating and an ice cream parlour.

Great climbing wall - routes are regularly reset with a nice mixed range of styles and grades. Really friendly, competent staff and family friendly. We often take our baby along in his pram. Thank you!

Me and the kids went was awesome Emily was great indoor wall climbing would recommend

Really great first climbing experience for 4 kids. Our instructor was so good, calm, and encouraging while also being in charge of 4 young boys. Would highly recommend! I might even try it myself next time.

Dont go here for bouldering its smelly, hot and cramped. Routes very small and hard to find the starts. Staff and regulars rude and very unwelcoming to begginers. Ridiculously overpriced when there's a much better wall nearby

Friendly staff, clean and tidy surroundings are only a few things that make the climbing centre great. There are many more other things too. They conduct training sessions where anyone who doesn't have any experience in climbing can take part. I visited the place on a Sunday and it was quite crowded. But I had a wonderful experience. There is a gallery upstairs where you can watch people climbing. The climbing Centre is located near the hub.

Bouldering was ridiculously expensive for the amount of routes and space available. The bouldering room absolutely stinks of sweaty feet. Staff were rude and unwelcoming

Really cool climbing wall! Super cool place and a really nice vibe, friendly staff was amazing! Worth a visit!

This was my first time driving any 4 wheeler and its was my wife's Birthday as well. Both of us had an amazing experience. Lewis - introduced us to rules and regulations. I appreciate, how warm and welcoming he made us feel. Casper, helped us understand the track ensured all safety protocols were followed. Following that Muntaqim was brilliant encouraging us through out the driving on the track. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back.

Had an amazing time at TeamSport, and I have to give a special shoutout to Emily, who went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, she was friendly, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure everyone had a great experience. We’ll definitely be back — and recommending to all our friends!

Great fun, but it was really hot but we're coming back again for sure the new electric karts are much better and faster

Had a brilliant day Karting and Laser Tag. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only two things let it down and that was the wait for the food (5 people and they couldn't cook more than 1 item at a time) and the laser tag was delayed but staff were very helpful

We took my son for his 24th birthday and we had an all round great experience. I was spectating but I felt my son and partner were safe as the staff were very well trained. They were shown a safety briefing beforehand and provided with jumpsuits and helmets. They had to buy balaclavas and gloves at a small charge. Very fun day out. Will return soon

All of the staff were amazing from the word go when I took my 8 year old son to his first Go-kart experience. He couldn't have been in better hands and each marshal played a very important role in his teaching, Brilliant to see! We both loved every minute of it. Thank you all so much! Highly recommended, we'll be back 👍

Session today was superb. Track guys on Monday 28th July we're excellent, great attentiveness, approachable, kind and very dedicated. Made the kids day

Just along from the Desperate Dan statue is the very impressive headquarters of D C Thomson the very famous Scottish publishing house responsible for many of the cartoon characters of my childhood. We went into the foyer area for a look around; lots to see. There was also a gift shop area with a huge assortment of annuals, T shirts, mugs etc

We were just peering through the windows when a security guard invited us in! Worth a quick visit. On a small table in a corner close to the tshirts for sale. A couple of photo albums filled with historical photographs or Dundee and the surrounding area were very interesting, even though I'm not a local.

Welcomed into the D C Thomson offices by the reception staff. Nice display of Oor Willie, The Broons and Jackie, however your visit will only take 10-15 mins max.

I enjoyed the art work in the foyer. Some DC Thomson merchandise for sale would have loved to have seen more The Broons products to purchase but despite that thought it was "braw"

Fantastic place people polite and helpful

My husband got the books he wanted. Nice staff.

DC Thomson is one of the leading media organisations in the UK. Unfortunately I could not go for a tour .. Regarding the history of journalism in Dundee .. Hop you take this idea in consideration

I actually had a really positive experience here, was a little concerned by some of the reviews, maybe they have had a bit of an over haul, was spacious, comfortable power sockets for my laptop, and the food and drink was good, I had roast salmon came on the sizzle plate, was lovely. Priced about right. All ordered through the app, quite hassle free. I will admit it's a bit grimey here and there, doors could do with a paint, but good seating outside on a sunny day too. My drinks arrived literally seconds after I ordered them. Staff were friendly. Thanks 👍

First time eating here, unfortunately it will be the last. Menu online looked good, on arrival we were greeted with a typed menu stapled together(not professional at all). A lot of items not available eg: no steak, mixed grill and tomahawk pork have all been removed from the menu. Dirty sticky table, it was also very cold inside. Dirty fork and the salt would not come out as was damp with ketchup around the top. Service was extremely slow and the serving staff looked like they wanted to be elsewhere. Food was of a low standard eggs overcooked and gammon tough.

We were very pleased with food . Ordered 4 burgers (Greek was yummy) Service bit slow, but girl at the bar warned us that we will wait bit longer. Everyone was very friendly. Very reasonable prices.

Terrible service , went with my wife and 2 sons to have a meal on the way through dundee, my son's mac and cheese was cold and had to be sent back to be heated , also my burger was raw so sent it back and the waitress even said that it wasn't right , when I got it back I checked again and guess what ? Yep raw again , no one came near us to complain again nor did they come back to ask if everything was OK now so we got up and walked out in disgust !!! I for one will not be back ..... also there toilet doors either need a good clean or painted !

It's a good place if you're after value for money. For a group of 4 adults and 1 child we were just over £50 for food and drinks. The place was understaffed according to the board when we arrived but the service was good and fairly quick considering this.

There was a huge party of us including children celebrating an event. It was the first time I had been so I signed up on their app and received 40% off our meal. The food was amazing, I ordered what I thought was fish fillets so doubled up thinking it would not be enough boy was I wrong I ended up with 2 big bits of fish on my plate. When I finished I asked if I could take one of them home. They kindly put it in a box for me. Would definitely go back again!!!

Hi not my first trip here to weavers mill and since the last time its not really improved much. Meals were nice enough but the cleanliness wasn't the best plus service between courses were long whether it was because we were put in the bar area, plus the breakfast was pretty basic not much choice unless you had a cooked breakfast especially for kids no cereal etc except porridge and jam and toast.. I had to this morning send back my daughters burned toast which I felt shocked about, probably not be back.

A really nice beach to visit during summer. Has cute cafés nearby and a park for children to play in. Dogs are usually not allowed into the beach but can depend during different times. Jet skis and other boat rentals are available. The castle nearby is free to enter and a really picturesque spot!

Pretty little beach that was quite busy when we visited on a cold March Saturday and a tractor was busy rolling the sands, its easy to get to from the walking path along the Tay.

it has many unofficial but inconvenient entrance covered with tall grasses. it jas ok view but not that I would recommend comparing to lots of great place in Dundee and among beautiful beaches in Scotland

These was our local beach, when I was growing up. A lot cleaner today than back then. Chilly but sunny when I went, but two people in swimming. Brave or mad ? I returned in September 24, to see a seal on the beach.

Great for swimming and sea glass hunting but it can of course get real busy in the summer! When the tide is fully out it's faaaar and if you swim be careful of strong currents with the tide, sea wead and rocks at points! You also have to walk quite far if you have a dog since most of it is a dog exclusion zone

The recent redesign including new pavements, cycle lanes and wildflower meadows have improved the whole esplanade all the way from Barnhill Rock Gardens - or as we call it Teletubby Lands - immensely.

Absolutely stunning, clean and tidy beach. This place is quite near from Dundee City Centre. You can come here by 5 or 5a bus, also you can take a two way ticket which will cost you cheaper (one side is £2.35; both side is 4£) The beach is lovely joined at the corner with the Broughty Castle which also amazing. A very nice spot for a one day tour.

Beautiful day when we visited. Plenty wild life to see and people with their fishing rods in boats on the water. Plenty wastebins around the park and reservoir. Nice restaurant but it doesn't open until 12 md.

Lovely walk with a lovely place ce to sit and have a nice cold beer at the end. Toilets could be better

Absolutely amazing place , so much going on with great facilities, staff are brilliant, came here to do some solo kayaking, felt very safe knowing they had a safety boat and trained rescuers , value for money , no matter what your age there is something for everyone here, even if it's just a bacon roll you want , had one to start my day 😁

We booked one of their marquees for our annual company BBQ. The entire process was very easy & the staff on site were great. We had a roll delivery come earlier than expected and they took it in for us and called to say it had arrived. Left us to our set up but stopped in to see if we needed help with anything. And we invited them round for food which they took us up on and it was great being able to socialise, even for 20 minutes with them and give everyone a good feed. Would definitely book the space again, perfect if you have kids to your event as the marquee goes straight into the play park.

Really lovely country park. There is a little cafe, watersports, lovely walk around the reservoirs. Beautiful trees and views

It was a cold, winter afternoon when Caber and I wandered around the park and we were the only ones there, along with the ducks 🙂 I can however, imagine it's popular in better weather and when the cafe is open. There does seem to be plenty of activity adventures on offer, including fishing. So, definitely worth a visit for families with kids, or those still kids at heart...and a dog walkers paradise. Also a great wee place to have a picnic. There's plenty of parking available and also public toilets.

Plenty of parking for a start, a large kids play area, looking like a fort, information centre, restaurant (if it’s open), walks, water sports, fishing, picnic benches and lots of water. 2 reservoirs and a big natural pond. Lots of birds to see and feed the ducks if you want. The best part for me was walking to the far side of the main reservoir where there is a great view over the Tay estuary to Fife and Tentsmuir forest and sands. We had our packed lunch here before walking round.

Barnhill Rock Garden is a public park extending to more than two hectares It is situated on part of a former nine-hole golf course which was laid out when the Dundee to Aberdeen railway line was built; The Garden was started in 1955 by clearing an area of volcanic rock, which had at one time been the old shore line. Over the years it was extended eastwards over areas which had been sand dunes. In the 1980s, two new water features were added, creating a tranquil environment and a haven for wildlife. It is a peaceful haven with lots of seats to take in the views and enjoy the greenery . Public toilets nearby

One of best walks in dundee, it goes along to a hidden park/reserve after the rock garden

Nice garden next to the beach. There is beautiful poppy fields there.

Lovely garden! A pleasure to walk round. Beautiful plants with some unusual specimens. Just across the road from the beach, which is also lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here with my son, as we are both keen gardeners. We will certainly be back!

Nice walk with the dog and great spots for a picnic. Some of the paths had broken glass scattered around though, so be careful and keep an eye out for your dogs feet. Most of the area is very well kept. The Rock Garden is also right by the water/beach, with a great view over to Tayport and Tensmuir Forest.

Lovely walks around and through, but some steps are cut off, maybe to do work. Beach across the road, too

A well kept and generally quiet place to enjoy the outdoors any time of year. Sadly spoilt by the debris left by 'gender reveals' etc.

Good atmosphere. But the food... pies awful, steak and "gravy" pie had never seen the gravy. It was dry as a bone

As far as premier league standard stadiums go, this has to be one of the worst. Big queues to get in as an away fan. A condemned part of the stadium. One shop open to serve lots of fans meaning a long wait for service. I was in the main stand and there were pillars blocking some of the view and it was £33 for a ticket.

Good views, decent legroom but looking very rundown. Away end is manky. Covered in stickers. Only one male toilet open after the game causing queues. Stewards outside are clueless. Asked to check my ticket, showed him the email with the QR code on my phone and he hadn't clue what he was looking at. Always issues with the standard of stewards up there. Cash only at the food stall is another issue. This day and age you should be accepting card and cash.

Run down, old, outdated and fails in comparison to Tannadice.

I love this street in Dundee..two football stadiums on it. Must be unique. Can anyone tell me anywhere else that has two grounds in such close proximity, at either end of the street ? Dens Park is an old stadium but has character. Who can't but have a soft spot for a club that had Claudio Caniggia for a while, before he absconded to Rangers. Dundee were one of the first British clubs to do well in the European Cup losing on aggregate in the semi final in 1962-3 to AC Milan. In the second leg at Dens Park Dundee won 1-0 with a crowd of 35,000. Unbelievable stuff..I can understand why Dundee are thinking about a new ground but Dens definitely has history and everh football fan should make a visit.

Travelled as an away supporter for a game.

Really enjoyed my visit on Sunday. Was unfortunate the Dundee fans couldn't stay until the end, they obviously had somewhere else to be.

Absolutely brilliant, you can sit back and have two hrs of safe peace while your little monsters run riot.... The staff man the safety doors well and are very attentive... My grandsons absolutely love this place.....

Brilliant fun for small people — our kids had a blast! Nice range of play equipment … and, wonderfully, no loud music pumping out, so grownups can talk to one another over a cuppa whilst the kids play.

Yes it's big but noway worth al that money plus you are not allowed to bring food with you. Ridiculous! They charge way to much for food. And I waited 1h and half for my toasties. Crazy. Not that special to pay that much for it. £27 for 2 kids. Even the zoo doesn't cost that much lol

My wife took our grandchildren here and I followed on about a half hour later, very surprised and disappointed to be asked for £1.50 for an adult’s admission as we have been to a few soft play places and nowhere else charges for adults admission. When I met up ewith my wife inside she told me the price she had to pay for kids meal, again I was disappointed, more expensive than other places, no wonder there weren’t many people in there. I don’t want to to mention the other places but you know who they are and I will definitely be going to them in the future, perhaps you should visit them and learn something from them if you want have custom returning

We went for the first time. My 2yr loved it! Would definitely go with our older ones :-)

First time here today. It’s a great place for the children to have fun, they had a fantastic time and loved every minute. We were also able to sit and watch them enjoying themselves and have a lovely coffee and cake. There’s plenty snacks, sandwiches, soup and hotdogs to choose from. Staff were also really nice and helpful too. I unfortunately witnessed an older lady nastily and rudely verbally abusing a staff member which was very inappropriate in a children’s soft play area, I don’t understand how some people think that this is an acceptable way to treat staff members especially in a soft play centre in front of young children. Hopefully this doesn’t happen often.

We hosted a 3rd birthday party here and it was brilliant! Lots of different activities for all ages. The party food was pretty good too. Pizzas are hand made in house which was a nice touch. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Really fuss free for parents. It was a bit steep in price.

A beautifully maintained park with something for everyone – history, greenery, and great facilities. Baxter Park is one of Dundee’s finest public parks, offering a peaceful and scenic escape right in the city. Whether you’re visiting for a relaxing stroll, exercising, or spending time with family and friends, this park truly delivers. The park features wide open green spaces, tree-lined walking paths, and well-kept flower beds that bloom beautifully in spring and summer. At its heart stands the iconic Victorian pavilion, a historic sandstone building that gives the park a sense of charm and heritage. It also houses a café and community space, making it a social hub for locals. Recreational facilities are a big highlight – there are well-maintained tennis courts and netball courts, perfect for anyone looking to stay active or enjoy a casual game with friends. You’ll also find a small children’s play area, benches throughout, and plenty of space for jogging, picnicking, or just relaxing. The atmosphere is calm, safe, and welcoming, with regular visitors of all ages. The park is also occasionally used for community events, adding to its vibrant local feel. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor to Dundee, Baxter Park is well worth a visit – a perfect mix of nature, history, and modern amenities.

A nice green park in Dundee. There is a basketball court and a few tennis courts in the park. The atmosphere is great and it has a nice setup for a picnic. Sadly I saw a few dog messes in and around the park and it will be great if the council takes some strict measures to keep the park clean. The courts are crowded during the weekends.

A beautiful park on the outskirts of the city centre. There are wide open spaces for dog walkers to let the furries run wild. The place also has tennis, basketball and football courts. The top end has loads of winding paths meandering through the trees. Well worth a visit if you fancy a chilled out retreat .

Lovely park with a couple of activities arias. Along with a perfect walk around. The playground needs a little refurbishment.

Lovely parking and found a wee coffee shop this dog friendly. Perfect for coffee takeaway to wander through the park.

I love seeing the mature trees. Very popular with dog walkers. The café has good coffee. Tennis courts are good and free.

i usually only visit here during nightwalks or when im out with freinds, i lived on watson street in my childhood so it was a great place to go way back then. Now in the dark, when no one else is around aside from the "workers" on arbroath road and the late night drivers I've found more peace in the dark baxters park than the light one

Excellent museum but has lots of off topic signs about irrelevant topics. I'm here for the animals not to learn about tea plantations! The colonial context is important for the animals but it felt like they went off topic with lots of the info

One of the loveliest museum I’ve ever visited, a great enjoyment, I warmly recommend visiting this amazing little place

Really nice collection. Visited on open day during UofD science festival. My kids (primary age) were fascinated and excited to see how some of their favourite animals actually look like or size they are.

Fascinating exhibits and lots of info from the very nice friendly staff.Getting hands on some of the exhibits was a bonus

Great hidden away exhibition that illustrates Dundee's connection with zoology and biology, and sadly, the exploitation of other peoples. Our guide was excellent. Alex was knowledgeable and helpful. I could have spent longer there, but Dundee parking restrictions intervened, as they so often do.

A room packed with surprises, hidden away and open on Friday afternoons in the summer (though the winter would be better!). There was a nice man staffing it when we went. There were games on paper for children to fill in but he was very tolerant of our rather more excitable "Can you find the...." made up game. Considering it's (mostly) one room filled with fairly old and musty specimens it had a nice feeling and afforded a lot of enjoyment for quite a long time.

Wee hidden gem worth a visit. Florrie loved it.

Strange little place which comes up at you out of nowhere. It has speakers in the metal part which blare a variety of ocean based sounds at you, from barge horns to whale sounds. The structures in that area are all metal which flowing which is meant to remind if the see (I think). There is also some screens with images from the past, all sea/harbour themed. The little fountains are cool, the size of the spray varies in sequence and there are lights under them, which will be more prominent at night. The garden part seems to be apeing a sand dune area. Parts of it are arty and perhaps went above my head, but it's for sure a nice are to spend half an hour in.

It is a beautiful, relaxing place for family and friends. Sand playground for kids, dancing water fountains with colourful lights, and sitting areas to watch the beautiful view of river Tay. Highly recommended to visit ❤️

First time visit here on a beautiful sunny day. Had a walk through Slessor Gardens . There is the V &A to visit. Enjoy a beer/coffee/ice cream/bagel from the food vendors. Visit the boat Discovery. Have a luvly walk by the Tay, see the Tay Whale also watch happy families with children enjoying the Urban Beach and water fountain area. Hire a bicycle if you fancy riding the cycle route. Toilets also there. Walk round to City Quay area. Visit the Unicorn boat. visit the inflatable area. Very impressed with the area. Worth a visit :)

A Very nice place for every one to breath some fresh air, to walk, to jogging or to do cycling. A sand place, water fountains with lighting also available here.

It was dark during my brief visit but loved the sculpture and the sounds from the speakers (which I didn't know about). Could be a lovely spot in the summer. Large children's sand play area, cycle hub, museum and Riverside walk. Close to town centre.

I used to live in Dundee and I came to visit my family for Christmas and dundee changed so much for the better this year, there were so many things to do which was a plus. I am so happy that they had a Christmas market this year in dundee, it was a lovely idea. It was Lovely seeing familes out which made it colourful and vibrant. This all put a warm touch to dundee, thank you it was a lovely experience.

Had a fantastic time down here with granddaughters this morning, plenty of free fun for them sand is clean as are all seated areas, kids running around daft for 2 hours, toilets clean and very well maintained, walking under the whale hearing noises of whales, water and wind,had a wander along to Tay Road Bridge, walked up stairs and came down the lift girls enjoyed it, finished off with much spoken about doughnuts at Heather's Street food, 2 cinnamon 2 rose petal, best doughnuts I've ever had, hot and crispy outside and soft and fluffy in the middle, be careful walking over water fountains as they get up to around 6ft not dangerous kids will love it definitely take towels and change of clothes, happy smiling faces everywhere.

Located on the eastern side of the city, this park is a lovely place to enjoy nature and take a break from urban life. It becomes particularly stunning during cherry blossom season. I really love visiting it during mid-April to take in that beauty. There are several playgrounds adjacent to the park, and Claypott Castle is just a few hundred meters away.

Best when the Sakura trees blossom, they are amazingly cute and pink. It has a decent playground as well and good for walking your dog 🐶

Unbelievably pretty. Wide, even paths. Lots of places to sit and rest, think, journal, picnic, chat or whatever else your heart desires. Easy parking, a few entrances, play park and sports fields too. Lots to offer, simple access, really lovely park.

This was a beautiful park with amazing landscape and walkways.The play area is fun for kids, and it's a nice place to visit with the family.

One of the best displays of Japanese Cherry Blossom in Scotland

Great park for walking the dog. There are lots of sports facilities too: a grass running track, tennis courts, an astro pitch and lots of adult and kids grass football and rugby pitches.

Beautiful Cherry Blossom walks

Staff are lovely, kids enjoyed it. Only downfall is the food, £4 for nuggets on their own is expensive. Can get a happy meal for cheaper than that. Was also very hot, can definitely use some fans or air conditioning.

Really fun but a bit mental having the heating up full blast in an exercise environment... There were a lot of sweaty Betty's kicking about, myself included. 🥵🙈 I totally understand why people say to avoid them in the summer.

Very dissapointed with out visit over the weekend, full price plus socks for a 7month old that cant play on anything Members of staff to be polite are useless. If there's a problem or request you get a blank look from them like your bothering them. To top it all off there was no coffee available because the milk didn't turn up and almost £2 for a fruit shoot. Shocking! Management need to get in there instead of leaving the youngsters to deal with all the coonplaints

Staff was great and they were very understanding when we arrived very late to the party we were invited. They provided us with new bracelets for the next session without any issue.

Fabulous facility with lovely staff! Breakfast with the Grinch event was superb

Fantastic space to take the kids to spend their energy within a safe and easy going environment. Good sitting area with a coffee and some hot food options.

My little girl loved 😍 it and was having the best time ever. Could not go on normal time as to busy and nosey for my little one who has Autism

Decent staff, decent prices. Got kicked out from the bouncers because I went out for air a couple times (I’m asthmatic). Absolutely disgusting how I was singled out. This club is appalling! This makes me want to give negative stars!! The bouncers don’t care, they will pick on you whether you are drunk or sober and not let you in as they want to “show that they are doing their job” when they are just picking and choosing people because they can. They will kick anyone out the club who they choose. Unfortunately it was me they chose to constantly watch when I was having fun with mates. I would never recommend here after this, Aberdeen underground is much better than Dundee’s underground. Never return or get money from me again! Not only that I will never, EVER recommend to anyone! AVOID!!! THERE IS BETTER CLUBS THAN THIS DUMP!!!

Within moments of entering Underground I found myself comparing drunk women to baby giraffes learning to walk. I made the decision to wear a high vis jacket on my last visit, next time I will wear a headtorch and bring a loudhailer in hopes of being served at the bar before the club closes.

Have had a number of brilliant nights at Underground during my years at uni. Nicole in particular has always been excellent; whether on the bar, at the door, or manning the cloakroom!

I and my fiance got past the bouncers and went to pay when one of the bouncers came down to say my fiance couldn't get in because he had shorts on. (Last minute decision to go to pub then underground.) So women can wear short dresses, skirts etc but men can't wear shorts? They were just above the knee. They could have went about it in a better way. Although seems we had a lucky escape from some of the reviews.

Good prices, nice lightings on the ceilings and nice staff but way too packed on Saturdays, speakers are not good quality. Could be a lot better with a small investment… Still a monument in Dundee tho!

Me and my partner had valid ID but got refused by bouncer. Honestly wondering how people who can't afford a passport or divers license can get in. Aberdeen underground let us in with young scott ans out of date passport but not Dundees? To add to this even though they have stated they only accept people with driving licence and passports due to a safety issue yet I have seen them accept myself and others in on previous occasions with a young Scot card. Why is it only sometimes but not others.

Disgusting is a word for the whole experience. I have just returned home from Dundee as I was up for the weekend. We had a booth booked and paid £95 for some tramp of a girl to start on my friend and did anyone do anything about it , no! No bouncers , no help , not one person interested. 2 hours later they decide to throw us out when nothing was our fault. Everyone working there is so rude. Obviously not people friendly. They obviously just want you’re money. We are writing a formal complaint and police have been involved also. Wouldn’t waste you’re time in that dive. They need to sort out who they let in and who they employ obviously!

The best of parks! You just have to experience it, big playground for all ages, outdoor barbecue pits 😃 and more!

Lovely park. Briefly here for Dram but would like to come back for a proper trip. Lots of parking and a large space to wander round.

Great space for dog walkers let down by a couldn't care less council with inadequate bins for dog waste, and the few that do exist routinely overflowing. Worse still when the bins are emptied nobody picks up the bags lying beneath them. An asset most cities would envy but in Dundee City Council there isn't a single person who can see that. It's been the same for as far back as I remember (50+Years) The closure of what a leading pro golfer described as "one of the finest urban golf courses in the country" says it all really.

Great park for families, dogs, cycling, tennis, walking, brilliant play park, there’s a duck pond so much space to just chill read a book.

Great place to take the dog for a walk, Or just walk yourself

Trees beginning to to turn lovely autumn colours

Great place to walk the dog.

Great place to walk the dog along with Templeton Woods. Saw the Northern Lights last week about 10pm. Great spot when they are visible due to the lack of ambient lighting.

It was cold today, bit the sun was out and little wind. A walk around Clatto is a good way to get out of the house and enjoy the air. I go as often as I can, then try and spot the terrapin or the for the swans. It's a big circle walk taking about an hour. Since the recent storms some trees were snapped by the wind. Fortunately this has not caused an access problem, and these broken trees are a form ot beauty in theselves.

It’s okay. I feel like it’s lacking something. It’s a short walk around the reservoir. The park is good.

It's a good place to walk dogs around the pond and the surrounding woods.

Great place to go for a walk lots to see lots of lovely walks for you and your 4 legged friends

If you enjoy getting on out for some fresh air and a walk with the dog.then check it out
