Creating memories doesn’t have to cost the earth. There are so many fun things to do in Fife from beach days, park days, inside days in funky places and outdoor walks in really special places you might not think of! You really can have fun without breaking the bank!

Let kids run wild

Craigtoun Country Park is open 24/7 and, even when the paid attractions are not running, the public can still enjoy the gardens, Fairy Glen and open facilities such as the zip-wire, trim trail, trampolines & adventure park. During school holidays and summer, kids will love to ride the mini steam train, boating and putting. A great day out!

A day out at the beach

A day out at one of Fife's award-winning beaches can be enjoyed all year round. Blessed with a stunning coastline, take your pick. If you visit Leven beach, kids can also enjoy a fantastic play park, green gym and amusement arcade on the beachfront. Remember to pack a picnic!

Explore Maspie Den

A steadily ascending walk up a narrow glen, taking in all kinds of curious historic bridges and structures on the Falkland Estate and culminating in a beautiful waterfall that you can walk behind. Read our Maspie Den blog.

Putting on the Himalayas

The Himalayas putting ground is open to the public and managed by the St Andrews Ladies Putting Club. With both a 9 and 18 hole putting course, they welcome all ages. Great fun!

Step back in time

As one of Scotland’s former ancient capitals, Dunfermline has both a remarkable royal history and an impressive industrial heritage. Dunfermline’s past is brought to life in the new museum with fascinating stories retold through a series of special films, inspiring interviews, engaging computer games and, of course, our collections. A must visit!
