1. The Hippodrome
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 136 reviews
This fantastic pre-art deco picture palace was first opened in 1912. For decades it was the place to see the latest Hollywood and British blockbusters. It closed in the 1980’s after a short spell as a bingo hall. Now – thanks to a £2.1 million restoration project – the Hippodrome is open again, lovingly restored to its 1926 heyday. With a great program of blockbusters, art house and classic favorites, there’s bound to be something for everyone.

What does the Hippodrome offer? It's Scotland's only surviving purpose-build cinema and it's been beautifully restored. It offers a wonderful range of films: all the current popular ones that you'd expect a good cinema to show plus Saturday morning screenings for kids, Monday morning screenings with a cuppa, live-streamed National Theatre plays, Singalonga musicals, and even a Silent Film festival. It has such a great atmosphere. The staff are tremendous. You can go with a gang of friends for Singalonga Sound of Music or just trundle down there by yourself - it will always feel comfortable. We're so lucky to have it nearby!

We called up and booked the secret bunker on the same day and the owner was really accomodating despite it being pretty last minute. The room itself was great fun, all clues were all in one room, unlike others I have visited which have spread over a couple of rooms, however, I found this added to the enjoyment rather than detract from it as there was plenty to do and investigate so everyone could get involved. The other members of my team agreed saying they felt much more involved with this game than ones historically. It was the right balance of fun and challenge. We managed to escape though did require a little nugde in the right direction a couple of times. Cannot fault it in any way and will definitely be back to do the other room and joyously there is a further room in development. Loved being able to dress up at the end. Would recommend!

Callendar Park has wonderful extensive grounds and woodlands and a lovely wee loch with seats around it which are ideal for enjoying a picnic. After our walk in the colourful autumn woods we went to the House, once a private residence, for lunch in the upstairs restaurant with the impressive original fireplace and beautifully decorated ceiling. The whole experience was most enjoyable with all covid regulations met and charming staff. Lunch was delicious and afternoon teas are available by booking online. The museum part of the house is on several levels from the basement kitchen upwards through the oak staircase and charts the progress of the area from Roman to modern times. Toilets are spacious, wheelchair friendly and clean and there is a small shop on exit. Check online to find opening times and more information.

We visited the kelpies as part of the holiday itinerary with lochs and glens, towering above the forth and clyde canal they stand 30mtrs tall constructed of steel, designed by Andy Scott he moddeled the sculptures on two Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron. These are an amazing sight to see it was definitely the highlight of the holiday, spectacular construction well worth the visit if you are in the area. It's all on the flat so walking around is easy and the visitors center has a café and information and gift shop also the horsebox café has a small gift shop.
