Kids' Activities in Dundee

Small city, big waterfront, and Broughty Ferry beach round the corner

Dundee is compact and unpretentious, with a waterfront that's been transformed by the V&A. Broughty Ferry (technically a suburb, but it feels like its own seaside town) has a sandy beach, a castle, and a strong family community. The city is affordable by Scottish standards, and the Law (a volcanic hill in the middle of town) gives everything a sense of scale. It's a genuine small city where people know each other.

Broughty Ferry beach is the summer staple. Proper sand, a castle to explore, and ice cream from Visocchi's. Camperdown Country Park has a wildlife centre and a massive adventure playground. The McManus Gallery in the centre is free and runs craft sessions for kids. The V&A is impressive from outside and the shop is good, though the exhibits are more for older children. Dundee's Bookbug sessions run in most libraries and are well attended. The Olympia leisure centre has a soft play and swimming pool. The West End around Perth Road has a few parent-run groups in community spaces.

Places Families Go in Dundee

Broughty Ferry Beach

Sandy beach with a castle on the headland and good cafes along the front. The beach is sheltered and manages to feel almost continental in summer.

Camperdown Country Park

Big park with a wildlife centre (bears, wolves, lemurs), an adventure playground, and a golf course. The wildlife centre is the draw for kids.

The McManus Gallery

Free gallery and museum in a Gothic building. They run regular family craft sessions and it's a good wet-weather option.

The Law

Volcanic hill in the middle of the city with views across the Tay. Short climb, manageable with a toddler, and they feel like they've conquered a mountain.

Areas We'll Cover in Dundee

Dundee has a scrappy, independent spirit. It's small enough that the parent community feels connected, and people are direct and helpful. There's no pretension. It's a city that's honest about what it is and getting better at what it does.
