Landmark Forest Adventure Park

Landmark brings water rides, aerial nets, dinosaurs and woodland play together in Carrbridge, near Aviemore. School-age children who enjoy climbing and trying different activities are likely to get the most from it. There are gentler options for toddlers too, but the bigger rides have restrictions and the choice changes with the season.

Our family take

Landmark works best when you treat it as the main plan for the day. It is easier to justify the ticket when your children will use a good spread of the attractions, with time for lunch and another go on their favourites. It is weaker value as a quick stop, or when the activities your child most wants are out of reach.

  • Season matters. Winter has fewer attractions, and the park is closed on some days. Check the opening calendar and attraction list for your date.
  • Mostly outdoors. Indoor attractions give you breaks from rain, but this is a poor choice if you need a whole day under cover.
  • Access limits. Buggies and wheelchairs can use most paths, but several adventure attractions are inaccessible. Check the details before paying if that will decide your visit.

A little more detail

Make it work for your family

Toddlers, school-age children and siblings

Younger children can start with the under-five Kids Zone, dinosaurs and gentler play. During the summer season, small ride-on cars and the Wee Monkey Trail add more choice. NetworX and the Red Squirrel Trail are for ages three and over, so an under-three sibling cannot join in with those.

For school-age children, the appeal is moving between climbing, bouncing nets, water rides and forest attractions. Height matters as much as age: look at the rules together before promising a favourite. With mixed ages, plan for part of the family to use a different attraction when a younger child cannot join in.

Height limits and what to wear

In the summer season, Tarzan Trail has a 1.1m minimum height and RopeworX a 1.5m minimum. SkyDive is a parachute-jump simulation with a minimum height of 1.4m and a maximum weight of 17 stone. Participants must be able to climb fifty steps easily, avoid loose or thin footwear and have no bare skin under the harness.

Wear sensible shoes and comfortable clothes for a woodland park. Open-toed or loose footwear is unsuitable for the climbing attractions; tie long hair back for SkyDive. Check each activity’s full age, weight, clothing and health restrictions before taking part.

Summer, winter and wet days

The summer season has the widest choice, including the Wild Water Coasters, SkyDive and the bigger ropes courses. Winter is a different visit, with dinosaurs, the Tropical Hot House, woodland attractions and indoor illusions; some attractions also have maintenance closures. If rides are the main reason for going, check the seasonal list before buying.

Bring waterproofs for showers and use the Bamboozeleum, Wonderwood’s Crazy Cabins and the seasonal indoor house for breaks. These give you shelter between outdoor activities, rather than enough space for an entirely indoor day. Severe weather can close attractions or the whole park; check conditions before a long journey.

Lunch and breaks

Picnics are allowed, and you can collect food or waterproofs from your car and return with a hand stamp. There are also food outlets, including Foresters Café and the summer-season Pinewood Grill; which ones are open depends on your visit date.

A lunch break makes the longer visit easier with younger children. Look at the park map for toilets and places to pause before heading further into the forest.

Buggies, wheelchairs and additional needs

Most paths can take a buggy or wheelchair, but some sections are unmade and may need assistance. The Forest Tower, Wild Water Coasters, Red Squirrel Trail, NetworX and climbing activities are not wheelchair-accessible. You can still visit the ground-level forest areas, but do not assume everyone in your group will be able to use the same attractions.

Disabled parking is beside the entrance. Concessionary disabled tickets and free essential-carer entry require the relevant supporting documents; carer entry depends on evidence that the visitor needs that support. Check the accepted paperwork before booking. For children who struggle with queues, the Green Band system helps at selected attractions; read the arrangements and ask at reception.

Dinosaur Kingdom has moving, roaring models, and Wonderwood includes disorienting effects. If these could upset your child, plan around them. Dogs must stay on a lead and cannot join you on rides or in the indoor attractions; the Butterfly House restriction includes assistance dogs.

Other Cairngorms days to compare

Keep another major attraction for a separate day. Highland Wildlife Park is the alternative if animals matter more than rides and climbing. Cairngorm Reindeer Centre offers a different sort of visit: compare its easier Paddocks with the rougher Hill Trip before choosing for younger children.

If you are coming without a car, there is a bus stop outside the entrance and Carrbridge station is a walk away. Check current services and the return journey, especially on days with shorter park hours.
