Family, group and school visits
Kids are extremely well catered for at Brodick Castle, Garden & Country Park. To help them get the most out of the castle itself, they can join one of the special guided tours for youngsters or pick up one of the quiz sheets – a fun way to learn about the fascinating objects in each room.

When it comes to outdoor adventures, they’re spoilt for choice. There’s a junior garden trail they can follow by themselves. Or if they want to learn about the animals and plants that are found here they can take one of the ranger-led guided tours or even join the Young Naturalists Club. The gardens and country park are a great place to spot wildlife – red squirrels, red deer, Highland cows, otters, seals and even golden eagles can all be seen in the area.

There’s a lively programme of family events and exhibitions all year round, covering everything from seashore scrambling to bird box making. While in the nature room you can watch live footage of nesting birds and learn about the resident wildlife on the information panels.

If they still need to let off steam after all the exploration and discovery, there’s an adventure playground behind the castle that’s suitable for all ages.
