C.A.R.A, Black Pearl & Gold Rush are family rooms suitable for 8 years and above. There must be at least one adult as part of every room booked.

First of all, wasn't sure about the escape room as a concept, but how wrong I was! It's genius! I thought, 60mins, how good could it really be? But it's great fun, can be quite high pressure, a laugh, difficult but satisfying and leaves you on a real high! Can't tell details of the room, cause that's a spoiler, so I won't! We did Gold Rush, which is mining helmets, gold digging, dynamite themed... You've solve the puzzles to escape the mining hatch/tunnel... We are a family of 5, 2 adults, a 13yr old, 8yr old and 5yr old and we all had fun! Some of it a wee bit tricky for he youngest, cause she couldn't reach or read, but if you keep her involved she helped where she could! It can end up quite tense, frustration can be felt bubbling inside! But we all survived and came out friends! Highly recommended to anyone that asks! If you are going as family with younger people I think Gold Rush is the best room (there is a choice of 4 rooms in total) with Cara next for families. black Pearl is good, but slightly more difficult (in our opinion) for younger families, and Saw Room is over 16's only! Go for it, you got nothing to lose, the staff are great, it's fun, exciting and you get a cool photo at the end!!!

Had a wonderful time with the kids walking the alpacas and meeting all the other animals. We learned a lot about all of the animals and really enjoyed ourselves. We got to choose an alpaca to walk and the kids got an activity pack at the end. There is also a little shop where the kids bought some bits at a reasonable price. It was muddy, so wellies suggested. Highly recommend a trip here and will come back the next time we are up un Scotland!

Axe Hurling

With the continuing success of our Glasgow venue, we have decided to bring urban axe throwing to Dundee. What is urban axe throwing? Axe throwing is the new craze sweeping America and Europe by storm. You really will be hurling axes at a bullseye a few meters away!

My husband and I received gift vouchers for here and what a great gift it was. We had such good fun and staff member Eve looked after us so well. Was great doing different kinds of tournaments and learning some trick shots too. Will definitely be back and have recommend to all my family and friends that they visit too.

Mills Observatory

Reviewed By drrivett - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

I loved our visit here, managed to get a good view of Jupiter before it clouded over. We arrived early for a planetarium show and a very kind couple who knew what they were doing managed to focus the telescope for us to view before everyone else showed up. This would be great for kids who are interested, but the show may be boring for them if they are not into astronomy. Be very careful driving down the very dark road afterwards!
