“The highlight of our visit was viewing the lights, eating toasted marshmallows, and drinking a glass of red wine around the fabulous log fire.” Elisabeth Wilson

Landmark Park Trip Advisor Travellers Choice award 2026

This is a gem of a find if you are in the Aviemore area with kids. Amazing amount of quality attractions for all ages and really good value compared to Center Parcs. The dinosaur attraction is amazing! You can tell it’s run by a competent and enthusiastic team.
