TREASURE TRAIL

Huntfun Aberdeen Treasure Hunt

Aberdeen

Park at Gunwharf Keys, stop by the harbour and take a look at the yachts and Spinaker Tower. Then scoot over to old Portsmouth and the famous dockyard. Explore HMS Warrior & HMS Victory, the kids absolutely love exploring the ships (No scooting in the dockyard due to the cobbles!). If the weather turns there is Kraze Kaves Indoor Play Centre, which has a nice cafe for adults to take a rest and read the papers.

CHILDRENS PLAY AREA AND PARK

Eoropie Dunes Park

Isle of Lewis HS2 0XH

This children’s play area is great for the kids to let off some steam, there is a nice long path leading up to the play area which is ideal for scooting. The Butt of Lewis Lighthouse is only 1 mile from the site and Tea Rooms are located only 1/4 mile of the site. Please note this is not a full family day out, but a really good way to get out in the fresh air for a bit!
