All kinds of…read morelarge events are staged here, from seminars to grand concerts; I myself took part in an exhibition along with lots of craft and charity stalls. The views were very enticing from the windows and I enjoyed looking out at the sea from the warmth of the big room! Apparently the dance floor is one of the best in Scotland, if not the UK. It's set on steel springs which gives dancers more of a bounce! I wasn't able to find out for myself unfortunately.

Great venue. Have been to several balls and concerts here all very enjoyable. Only critisism is the…read morebar which is on the small/expensive side!

Having been there before it moved sites a few years ago was quite surprised to see a lot of the things are still the same as they were 10 odd years ago. It is fun but not good if you want to chill while the kids play. There is a small cafe attached which is ok, serves decent coffee. They do lots of different demonstrations and shows through out the day aimed at different age groups. There is also a small gift shop. Worth a visit.

Nice walk on the beach when you are after fish and chips or ice cream, but be prepared for maaaany…read morepeople waiting in the queues and even more seagulls waiting for somebody's food to steal Very nice views but also very busy as there are few places/cafes alongside the beach where one can have a rest. Seems also friendly for dog walkers mixed with families and babies. If you want a bigger trip, climb up the hill and get to the trail to the castle or stay in town for a pint at one of the cosy places at the harbour :)

There are plenty of cafes and restaurants along the beach so you can always add some energy during walk. And there is a charming district at one end of the beach. Small houses, previously fishermen´s district, these days more like a hipster district.

From a personal insight into this business I would not like to spend my money here on a regular basis. Also with the beach location, there are a bunch of 'car enthusiasts' who do my nut in and I'm glad they have a place to go to where I do not have to experience them. Aberdeen is good like that.

Codonas amusement park is not the greatest place in the world for what we need. there is not much…read morefor toddlers and little children to do, it mostly caters for older kids, but there is a small carousel which let little ones on for free. the ride choice is ok and will fill your time given that there isnt another amusement park around. the 18 hole golf is in my opinion very expensive, it is entertaining but they do not allow chidren on the course that arent playing, we decided to pay for our 2 year old to play but he got fed up after a bit. Its a fantastic course which is in good condition, we used the outdoor course but there is also an indoor course perfect for wet days. there is an amusement arcade which has upto date games and machines. there is also numerous places to eat inside aswell as a soft play area and a bowling alley. there is plenty of places to spend money and will undoubtly get busy in the summer so little ones would easily get lost if you not carefull

An excellent spread with helpful staff. and in the overflow, so plenty of elbow room - though we did need to keep our coats on - no problem. We have had lunches there before, & been well served. The Winter Garden is a Jewel for the city with a lovely display all year round. At Hogmanay, we met a French journalist, doing tourist info, who specially liked it. The kids (2& 5) liked the whole experience and especially the talking cactus, and stamping the special medal for £1.01ea. The whole afternoon - good value. We left a generous donation as we had spent a lovely afternoon and have some cakes home with us for tomorrow. PS The cream for the excellent scones was proper whipped cream!

Ahh, sunny days in Aberdeen at Duthie Park. One of the best…read morethings about living in Scotland was how much people appreciated the sun. It's out less, so when it is people go crazy. Shirts off (even though it's still pretty chilly), picnics, dog walks, everyone shows up in Duthie Park for an ice cream. Glorious. Some seriously fond memories of Sunday afternoons spent with friends in Duthie Park. There's a huge amount of nicely trimmed grass for sitting or kicking a football around or throwing a frisbee. There's great paved paths for walking your dog or letting your kid ride their bike. There's also multiple play areas for children and some of them are really awesome. Notably the playground with a zip line (how fancy!--disclosure: I would wait around and try to get a go when kids weren't on it) and a roundabout (you never see those in playgrounds anymore!) and some pretty tall slides. There is a greenhouse garden full of exotic plants and loads of cacti that you can check out for free, which is a fun activity on a colder day. And there is an ice cream shop in that same area, which is of course great for those cherished warm, sunny summer days in Scotland. Overall Duthie Park is a very well-rounded area, with plenty of green space and a great place to spend some time with the whole family. I love going back when I'm back visiting Aberdeen.

We had great fun for at least 3 hours, although the archery was a bit poor. Great guide and attitude from the staff. Finished off with a good lunch. Great time, but not cheap.
