Families Outdoors
Family adventures start here. We begin in complete darkness, star gazing at Kirroughtree Forest, part of the Galloway Dark Skies Park, in the heart of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere. We then explore the adrenaline packed activities and family adventures available in our great outdoors. From zip-lining during the night or day at Go Ape in the Glentress Forest, to our world-famous mountain biking tracks, there’s plenty to get the heart-rate going. After all that adrenaline, we escape to the exotic plants, palm trees and ferns of Logan Botanic Gardens. And relax. All you have to do is tap play to transport yourself to Scotland’s playground in the South of Scotland – and don’t forget to visit <a href="http://www.scotlandstartshere.com" rel="noopener">www.scotlandstartshere.com</a>
