Granite city, golden sand, and the Dee on your doorstep

Aberdeen is further north than most people realise, and the climate is, let's say, honest. But the upside is space, coastline, and access to some of the best countryside in Scotland. Balmedie Beach has proper sand, the River Dee runs through the city, and there are good parks in Hazlehead and Duthie Park. The family areas of Cults and Westhill are well set up, and the oil-industry legacy means good facilities and a surprisingly international parent community.

Duthie Park and its Winter Gardens are the default outing. Tropical plants inside, open park outside, decent playground. Hazlehead Park has a maze, a pets corner, and woodland walks. Balmedie Beach is about fifteen minutes north and has dunes that kids love running up and rolling down. Codona's at the beach has a soft play and amusements for when the wind is brutal. Aberdeen's library service runs Bookbug sessions across the city, and the leisure centres have good baby swimming provision. The AECC area has expanded with family-oriented facilities recently.

Places Families Go in Aberdeen

Duthie Park and Winter Gardens

Central park with an indoor tropical garden. Warm and green, which is exactly what you need in an Aberdeen winter. Good playground outside.

Hazlehead Park

Big park with a maze, pets corner, and woodland trails. The maze is just about toddler-height, which they find hilarious.

Balmedie Beach

Long sandy beach with massive dunes. Kids love the dunes. Bring spare clothes and expect sand in every crevice.

Transition Extreme

Indoor activity centre with a soft play area for young kids alongside the climbing and skating. Good for burning energy on wet days.

Areas We'll Cover in Aberdeen

Aberdeen's parent community is international in a way that reflects the oil and gas industry. You'll meet families from Norway, Nigeria, and everywhere in between at baby groups. It gives the city a more cosmopolitan feel than its size suggests.
