Rainy Days? Sorted 👇🏻
Dundee, 30 mins from Lindores: Dundee Science Centre is the standout for primary-age children, with hands on STEM exhibits and activities. Pair it with Discovery Point or the free V&A Museum. For October 2026, Dundee Contemporary Arts also has family art activities, Messy Play and an Aardman film season during the holidays 🎭
St Andrews, 30 mins from Lindores: St Andrews Aquarium is an easy wet-weather family outing, with penguins, meerkats, seals and aquarium exhibits. Add on a delicious lunch/hot chocolate in town and, if the rain eases - a quick blast along West Sands 🌊
For younger children: The Treehouse Play at Abernethy or Wee Kingdom Cupar Indoor Soft Play Centre give families a straightforward soft-play option without committing to a full museum day 👶🏼
For energetic older kids: Innoflate Dundee or TeamSport Go Karting Dundee are useful alternatives when the children need to burn energy rather than look around exhibits 🏎️
Perth, 35 mins from Lindores: Perth gives you another easy wet-weather direction, including museums/galleries and Wonder World Soft Play for younger families. For some energy burning fun, try trampolining at AirThrill 🤸🏼♀️
North Queensferry, 60 mins from Lindores: Deep Sea World gives you a bigger aquarium day and features Eagle Rays, Seals, Sharks and Seahorses 🪼
